Why does Wilcox hate his own career?chrisvashon said:Wilcox isn't going anywhere
He needs to get the fuck out of UW and take a HC job somewhere while he still can.

Never led against Stanford and UCLA. Outgaining them was a mirage.HeretoBeatmyChest said:
Outgained Stanford & UCLA. The OL was adequate enough for a 9-3 record and really only prevented UW from beating UO & ASU.dhdawg said:
I disagree. The oline was bad. We were able to mitigate it against the bad teams but when the oline was a big reason why we couldn't score against Oregon, ASU, to a certain degree UCLA, and even WSUHeretoBeatmyChest said:If we are as good this season in 14 then the easier schedule will translate to potentially 10-3 in the regular season. We could actually regress but win one or two more games.
Both the O & D took steps forward if you look at the stats and especially yards per play. The D gave up about 1 less ppg overall. In conference the D gave up 14% more points but faced 15% more plays.
Everyone but Parker returns on D and the last recruiting class on D was strong so there will be improved depth across the board. The secondary will need to develop but Peters is a potential All-American.
Coons was awesome this year and we'll see if his loss costs us 1 game. Ross is looking good on kick returns so I bet that aspect will be better.
Offense is the X factor. Likely no Sankey but Washington will be a decent replacement and maybe having a QB who can run also mitigates the loss of Sankey. The OL actually had a decent season. You don't put up that many yards and yards per play with a terrible OL. ASJ & Kasen weren't big factors. Stringfellow will replace Smith.
Schedule is really favorable. @ UO, @UA & UCLA are toughest games. ASU loses a ton of starters and won't be as good. Stanford loses some guys but will be a tough game even at home. They've recruited well. Col, Cal, OSU are 3 wins. If we are as good at home as we've been the past three seasons then Stan & ASU are wins. Should be at least 9-3 going into the Apple Cup but 8-4 wouldn't surprise me. A good coach would take this team and be 10-2 heading to Pullman in first or tied for first in the P12 North. -
The Wilcox for head coach boner is FS. They guy is average. I guess maybe an FCS school would be a place to see if he can coach at all, but he has proven nothing to land an FBS beach coaching job.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

The O-line looks good because of Sankey - just like the O-lines looked good in 2010-2011 because of Polk. Take a look at sacks allowed. Prior to WSU, UW was 98th in the country in sacks allowed.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

Micah Hatchie's best skill is picking up the QB after he gets nailed. -
I wouldn't hire him to coach a BCS team, but he's done enough to get the HC job at Nevada or Wyoming.MikeDamone said:

The longer he stays at UW, the worse his HC prospects get. -
He won't get hired as HC but the problem is he's getting big bucks as Poolboy tries to prop up Fat Sark.
However, he's not learning or progressing under the rotund one.
So you're right, he's losing ground career wise.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

Yardage board versus Scoreboard.
The advanced metrics boys love to point to the YPG stat as an indication of team improvement or success for the new offense. A comment regarding this should be added to the Doog handbook appendix after this year. -

Scoring margin (with diminishing returns) is where it's at. -
Good enough for Nevada based on what?TierbsHsotBoobs said:
