    There have been a couple halfway decent letters to Poolboy posted here. Let's vote on the best one/edit it, improve it, and pin it. People can then download and email it, fax it, or snail mail it from my brother-in-law's Madison Park address.

    Who's with me

    Would you tolerate an average lawyer in charge of the law school?

    We certainly do NOT have an average lawyer running the Law School. Kellye Testy is the foremost authority on LGBT Rights Law in the United States. She chaired the Search Committee that hired UW President Michael Young. She is an avid Husky Women's Basketball, and Softball fan and would certainly be on the Search Committee if we ever hired a replacement for Woodward.

    At Seattle U Law School, she was instrumental in getting LGBT Law on the curriculum, while dropping anti-trust and maritime law. (Why would attorneys be interested in that, when MicroSoft was in one of the biggest anti-trust cases in history, and we don't have a Port in Puget Sound?)

    Let's hope that nobody has any personal agendas about the Graves Building. That just is NOT allowed on a college campus.

    So, we're being monitored? Let's all step it up a notch, shall we?

    IMO candidates for a UW head coach should have the following on their resume:

    1) History of success as a head coach.
    2) Experience as an assistant or coordinator under an elite coach and at a top tier program or an NFL team.

    I do not think those are unreasonable.

    I agree with #1 but don't give a flying fuck about #2. I'd change #2 as has demonstrated to be a successful coordinator at other schools.

    I like Tim DeRuyter not only because of his head coaching W-L but also because every school he has coached at as a DC he improved them over night. These weren't your stacked programs like Sark/Kiffin had USC either.

    In fact as a past coordinator I'd rather the coach have coached at a school where he had success but at a school where he didn't have the best talent week in and week out like Sark/Kiffin/Holt/Chow did while at USC.

    Your argument is sound, #1 is far more important than #2. DeRuyter was the DC at A&M too so he had a taste of big-time football from recruiting/media/limelight standpoints. I guess it isn't a game-changer to have but it certainly helps in adapting.

    I couldn't agree more. Taking the same players and getting a better result could only be a result of improved coaching. Obviously, Sark is better than the worst coach in the history of college football, and the players were motivated by any new coach. I also like DeRuyter, but Mora is from the Don James coaching tree. Mora #1, DeRuyter #2.
