To be fair, Gilby was a great assistant and coordinator and 2004 overshadows that and ruined his legacy. I blame the UW AD and admin for that.

Hey look -- here's a quote from The Football President:

"Todd and I started talking to people all around the country. We talked to many, many people, dozens of people. We had an opportunity to chat with lots of great coaches, lots of good people. We had the chance to go around the country and sit down with a number of really fine folks. And again, and again we kept returning to one name and was the name of Tyrone Willingham. When Tyrone became available a few weeks ago, we were absolutely stunned and elated. Because we knew we had a chance to bring the University of Washington, someone who exemplified all of those characteristics we were looking for. Someone of extraordinary character, someone of integrity, a great winning tradition, someone who understood the discipline and toughness that has always been the hallmark of the University of Washington. So for me, this was a very, very easy choice. When we sat down and talked with Tyrone, it couldn't have been clearer in my mind that this was the man that we wanted to lead the University of Washington back to its former glory days. I'm absolutely delighted that Coach Willingham is with us, we couldn't be more lucky. We are proud to have you with us Tyrone, thank you so much for willing to be our football coach."

If you really want to take the gloves off and roll, here are 38 stories from the Seattle Times that deal with Emmert either hiring Turner or Emmert & Turner hiring Ty. I put this list together back in 2011 after Kim's famous fucktarded "but how is he a bad president!!??!!" statement
