Fuck. I saw this shit developing...everyone who pooped on the Chip hiring wasn't seeing this clearly. Whether he wins or not in the short term is irrelevant. He was THE NAME in the coaching searches this year. He is sizzle. If he recruits lights out at UCLA this hurts us. Instead of just trying for USC scraps now we go for USC and UCLA scraps. And sure, to some degree it has always been that way, but it will be worse with Chip there.

Scott Wolf from Inside USC gets it. He would have fired Helton this year to get Chip
His readers hate him - but we won the Pac 12!!!11!!11 -

Chip's a good hire even recruiting aside. Even if you're convinced CFB has caught up with his offensive system (I'm not), it was his attention to detail and understanding of in game strategy and how it affects win probability that set him apart. That shit isn't going anymore.Swaye said:Fuck. I saw this shit developing...everyone who pooped on the Chip hiring wasn't seeing this clearly. Whether he wins or not in the short term is irrelevant.

UCLA is going to be a serious issue. -
It's probably more accurate to say college football has embraced his offensive system. But as @dnc points out, Chip was way more than a fast temp offense.
I don't think most of the dinosaurs have caught up with that. He will still have a tuff time with Bama because Saban has his own holistic philosophy -
I am on record as saying I think Chip will kill it at UCLA within 3 years, so we are in violent agreement. But even if he doesn't, he is a name brand in CFB, and I bet he recruits lights out in So Cal, which hurts us.dnc said:

I love the win probability arguments that get thrown around at all times ... to me there are a lot of apples and oranges in them although I understand and appreciate the conclusions.
The biggest problem I have with probabilities is that while over a large sample size the conclusions will play out, in a short sample size impatience of taking a small edge can result in missing opportunities for better spots -
UCLA will make good hires with Chip and seeing improvements for them won’t be too difficult to see
I’m not sure I see a massive material impact though to UW at this point though ... not sure we are driving in parallel lanes
