03 and 04 were the beginning of the end for the Iron Mike years. USC went on their 04-06 run and UO hired an unknown gay man from New Hampshire for OC in 07 (?) and gave him Mike's job in 08 and Oregon went on a run
UW decided to suck

I said Ducks hired the wrong guy after that game.
I was wrong.
#1 HC is duck football history.
I thought the same about Peterman after his first couple of years at uw.
I was wrong.
#2 HC in husky football history.
Uhhh... no.
1. Don James
2. Gil Dobie 58-0-3
3. Enoch Bagshaw 63-22-6 2 Rose Bowls
4. Jim Owens 3 Rose Bowls and a self-proclaimed natty
5. Kalen DeBoer 15-2 and rising with a bullet
6. Chris Petersen Won a Vegas Bowl and popped off, begrudgingly coached in a Rose Bowl, and now mentors young people while sipping fancy coffee
Dobie is arguably the greatest though I know that might not be a popular opinion. He went onto win multiple national championships after upper campus ran him off.
