Spoke with a Husky acquaintance today who is a season ticket holder and Tyee club member. He said many Husky fans want Smith gone... Browning has regressed and they think the play calling leaves something to be desired. In fact he thought that there is a chance Peterson lets him go or demotes him after the season. I would be surprised if this happens, but I wonder if JS is a series candidate for the OS head job.

I really really hope he's not a serious candidate for our HC job.

imho it really doesn’t matter who gets the HC job. Beav FB will likely be sub .500 PAC 12 for the next 5-10 years, regardless.

We won only two conference games over that period. Yet just two seasons later (1999), we played in a bowl game. Three seasons later (2000), we were Pac-10 co-champions, went 11-1, won a BCS bowl and were ranked #4 in the country. The bulk of the Pac-10 championship team was recruited by Mike Riley following seasons in which we won two (1996) and three (1997) games, with a combined Pac-10 record of 1-15. MR had less than two full months to sign his 1997 recruiting class, which, in retrospect, was an outstanding group. So don't tell me it can't be done. Most of us here have seen it happen. It's all about the head coach. Barnes needs to make a great hire. |

TV money wasn't there - we listened to a lot of games on the radio. I remember when Arizona proclaimed that they were not going to enter the crazy salary arms race when they hired John Makovic for $350k per year. Phil Knight hadn't given Oregon a blank checkbook and USC's head coach was Paul Hackett. I'm not saying it isn't possible, but I am saying that it's a much steeper climb. |

It isn't 1999, but as Henry said, good coaching can still help turn a program around. If we get an up and comer who ends up being a huge hit, or if we get someone like Tedford, we could turn the program around pretty quickly. We do have talent on our team. There are some positions that we will need to improve on, but we do have some talent. We also have 2 QB recruits who appear to have some talent, and I think we could end up being a bowl team in 2-3 years if we get the right coach. Hopefully Barnes will be able to make the right hire! Go Beavs! |
