You picked the one example of a coach that was probably hired for every reason *besides* coaching talent.

He sure as hell pulled the wool over the UW AD's eyes during his interview!

That guy was a useless tool and did a ton of long-term damage to the Husky Program. He was a step worse than Neweesal.

There's a reason he's not coaching any major program now.

I should recommend that WSU hire him! wink

Not similar AT ALL. Ty got fired because he SUCKED..and SUCKED BADLY. He ran the Husky Program to the ground. Whatever he was given, he squashed it, then dropped his pants and took a dump on what was left.

Your argument would hold water if Ty had actually succeeded at Washington. He couldn't and didn't do that from the start. No Tyee likes a losing program.....

Oh, and the stadium renovation was going to happen regardless of who is/was coaching. It had to happen. But, it sure does *help* in getting Tyee money when the program is WINNING..... wink
