Who will be the coach?

And Spurrier even said last week that Nix should take that job. Guess something was off.
Granted, they might have already liked another candidate better and Nix saw the writing on the wall.

 

Ty Willingham gets one more chance to turn around Washington next season:

Good call IMO. Give a coach at least four years.

 

I too am happy with this decision. Willingham will never lead any team to greatness. But he is exactly what UW needed following the Neuheisel years. He deserves four full years. If he doesn't win at least eight games and make it to a bowl game next year, then he deserves to get the boot.

And I'm sick of the fans who think Mora is the answer to all of UW's problems just because he's an alum and it's his "dream job." A Seattle Times columnist referred to him as a "hot candidate." Huh? What school or teams is after this guy? I haven't seen his name mentioned in connection with any opening so far.

 

Also surprised that Nix didn't take the Southern Miss job. You can win there, especially considering all the Mississippi JUCO talent and all the in-state kids that don't academically qualify for the SEC.

 

Plus, it ain't like you're going up against a couple of recruiting powerhouses in Mississippi State and Ole Miss. There's a lot of good high school talent in South Mississippi, and Hattiesburg is closer to that than Oxford or Starkvegas.

Southern Miss interviewed Mike DuBose this week. That would be enough to make me withdraw my name from consideration.

 

GREAT hire for the Hogs.

 

Agreed, but I feel kind of bad for Grobe, who seems to be such a good dude ... I won't enjoy seeing the rabid piggy fans eating him alive after an 8-4 season.

 

Tremendous hire for the Hogs.

 

Where are the sources in that story?

I'm not trying to be a dick, but shouldn't a good portion of that information have been attributed to someone?

 

Unreal.

Guy wins the ACC title at Wake Forest. WINS the ACC TITLE at WAKE FOREST. And the best he can do is have to deal with the shithole that is Arkansas football, circa 2007?

That kinda sucks.
