Bring Back Husky Football

11-28 - Willingham's record at Washington.

1-9. Willingham's record against Washington State, Oregon State and Oregon.

He's cleaned up the Neuheisel mess and for that we owe Tyrone a big thank you but it's time to start winning football games.

How many more yards will the defense give up this year?

Jake Locker has the potential to be the best QB in program history. Wouldn't it be nice if he could actually take the Huskies to a bowl game?

Husky Football was great once.

Husky Stadium was a place to be feared for opponents.

It's time to bring it back and show the current regime the door.

I'm not just going to sit here and snipe at Willingham, here's a list of candidates that bring some good things to the table.

Jim Mora Jr - A longshot, but if the donors pony up the dough, you could swipe him from the Seahawks. He's a defensive minded coach who played for DJ and has described it as his dream job.

Gary Pinkel - Resurrected Missouri and has coached at Washington. Again, it will take serious $ to lure him away from Mizzou.

Brent Venables - OU's defense looked pretty good today didn't it? Could give UW visibility in the mid-west in recruiting with his time at OU.

Chip Kelly - Can you imagine what our offense would do if an actual spread guru was calling the shots?

Norm Chow - Again, another O guru. Plus, it weakens a conference opponent.

Jim Leavitt - Brings the defense. Turned USF into a prominent program in the Big East from nothing at all.


Whether any of the above are the right guy, I don't know. What I do know is that Willingham isn't.

Go DAWGS!
