Tyrone Willingham is done, Bobby Hauck's job for the taking?
In a move that absolutely no one saw coming, Tyrone Willingham is out as the head coach of the Washington Huskies. Seriously, at an impressive 0-7, coaching one of two winless teams in D-1 football, I thought his job was secure.
Anywhoo, Bobby Hauck's résumé is surely already in the hands of University of Washington Athletic Director Scott Woodward. Hauck has wanted out of Missoula since he figured out recruiting thugs was "frowned upon," but at the University of Washington, where players like Jerramy Stevens can thrive and flourish, he could be seen as a sufficient savior.
Honestly, this is his dream job. He coached at the University of Washington for four years, where "he worked with defensive backs, special teams, and safeties and was considered one of the top recruiters in college football." (from montanagrizzlies.com) One of the top recruiters in college football? God, that's good. Hmmm, let's look at some of the players he recruited. That's just at U-Dub. What about here?
That might serve in his favor though. The Huskies tried the nice coach thing. They tried hiring clean guy Ty and it brought an 0-7 record. Let's bring back what worked. If recruiting people straight from the third circle of hell means winning Rose Bowls, then so be it. Bring back Bobby..... special teams guru.
Colin,
I live in the Seattle area and am a long-time (35 yrs) Husky fan. Hauck's name has no legs at all here. Yeah, he recruited thugs which UW has realized ain't what we need. He was also here with Rick Neuheisel ( aka Skippy, Slick Rick, and New-weasel ) who is still perceived as the anit-Christ by a large percentage of Husky fans. The three most hated persons in the history of UW athletics are Barbara Hedges, Ty Willingham, and Rick Neuheisel perhaps even in that order.

No thanks.... We'll keep him right here in Griz Nation!
Colin crawl back into the hole you came from. Is this web site supported by the Missoulian? Sure don't get much traffic, could it be because you are a no talent punk?
By the way is connected to the right people at UW (rich boosters) and has a shot at the job.
Mtboy, slap a name on there if you want to call someone out. Let's find out what you do.
No, this isn't associated with the Missoulian, thank god.
Now, a couple questions: heh, where do you get the idea I have no traffic? I'll take 991 unique visitors on Monday. Not sure what to compare that to... maybe the Kaimin's beginning of the week football story? That has 316 non-unique views.
Who the hell is 'By the way'?
You are a no talent punk!
I enjoy the website- keep it up!
