But we're talking about a WR coach here ...
Granted he has done a great job in recruiting as well as in developing our players at the position ... but the same can be said for the next WR coach if we make a strong hire here.
As long as we're at the top of the conference and nation we're going to have people coming around trying to take our coaches away from us with promotions, etc. It's reality.
We're actually fairly lucky in that we have a good foundation of coaches that I don't feel like we're at risk of losing:
Kwiatkowski - he's Pete's Mickey Andrews
Gregory - I think he's been there and done that and is content being part of a great staff
Bhonapha - he's been with Pete since 2006
Strausser - we can argue how good/bad this is, but he's been with Pete since 2007
Socha - probably as important as anybody on this list outside of Kwiatkowski, he's been with Pete since 2006 and to me the biggest threat to anybody leaving is greater responsibility and/or money ... we readily recognize Socha's value and I don't think he can
add more responsibility with another program ... so we should be in good shape here
We know we'll lose Lake in the next 1-2 years ... that's a given. We're replacing Hamden. Babushka I think is a wild card because he has long-term aspirations that he won't achieve at UW ... but his challenge will be in finding the right place. From a continuity standpoint, it's probably not the worst thing for him to still be here. Paopao I think the jury is still out on ... same with Malloe. Not sure either of them are anywhere close to being in danger of completely moving on unless we say so.
All in all ... it's not THAT bad. We're in a pretty good position with our assistants ... particularly some of our most critical ones. -
My only hard complaint about losing Hamdan is that we still have Smith. From that standpoint it's bullshit. Also, Pete isn't immune from making shitty hires, so it's not like we are guaranteed to upgrade or even have the same caliber of WR coach as Hamdan.
Hopefully he makes a good hire, and not Pease 2.0. -
He did cut bait from Prince at Boise when he came over so maybe there is a little hope to lose Smith but won't be soon enough.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:My only hard complaint about losing Hamdan is that we still have Smith.

Pepsi nobody is immune from making a bad hire

The WR's were much improved. The real area he will be missed is recruiting.

I know that. I am saying that more because I've seen some doogs on twitter saying people need to stop freaking out because Pete will hire someone better than Hamdan. It's like these fuckers forgot who his initial hire for WR coach at UW was.Tequilla said:Pepsi nobody is immune from making a bad hire
Honestly, we'll be fine. It just sucks we only got to exploit his recruiting for 1 season. -

I don't want Busch Hamden anymore. Good recruiter. Coaches receivers to be soft as fuck against good defenses.
