Excuses are for Doogman losers and their mental midget overlords. It’s clear why we haven’t won anything of note since Rick's 2nd year. Bad coaches! Nothing more. Gilby, Willingham, Sarkisian. Same reason Oklahoma was bad before Stoops, Stanford was bad before Harbaugh, USC was bad before Carrol and why Tennessee has been bad lately. Alabama was in the mud before Saban.
Coaching is everything.
Sometimes we see moron doogs throw out the 'coaching stability' bullshit, which precedent has shown to be completely fallacious. Let's see:
Oklahoma had four coaches in ten years ( Switzer, Gibbs, Schnellenberger, Blake) before finally landing Stoops, who won a national championship in year two.
USC prior to Carroll had John Robinson for five years, Paul Hacket for three. They were terrible. Carroll won a Rose Bowl in year 2 and a national title in year three. Once Carroll left, they immediately fell back into the oblivion with another shit coaching hire. Amazing how all of that other bullshit like tradition, talent (and they've always had talent), location, etc. all went out the window if the coach couldn't coach for shit.
ND prior to Brian Kelly suffered from Bob Davie for five years, Willingham for three, and Weis for five. You can't win at ND in the current CFB landscape, they said. You can't recruit at ND anymore, they said. The winter is too cold, they said. Kids don't care about academics, they said. Kelly went 12-0 his third year, losing to Alabama in the national championship.
Stanford was at a place similar to Ty's UW in 2006. Their 1-11 2006 team was every bit as bad as our 0-12 2008 team, probably worse. Try this for coaching instability: Buddy Teevens from 2002-2004, Walt Harris 2005-2006. Recruiting was ** by far** the worst of the Pac-10. Enter one Jim Harbaugh. He beat USC as a 41 point underdog in year 1. By year three, were blowing teams out and had built a reputation as tough sons of bitches. By year four, they were Orange Bowl Champions and one of the most feared teams in the land.
I love the Stanford example. Emphasize the lines, be tough as nails, and find the right QB. Top 10. If the UW administration really cared -- this process wouldn't take very long. The doogs and their excuse-laden mantra try their best to set our program back as far as possible, but precedent facts stare right back at their dumb faces.
Coaching is everything. Water is wet.
- Urban Meyer won the NC in his 2nd year at Florida.
- Mack Brown was hired at Texas in 1997. He won a NC in his 8th year there.
- The 2003 NC went to Pete Carroll at USC who was in his 3rd year at the helm.
- 2003, Nick Saban, LSU, 4th year
- 2002, Jim Tressel, Ohio State, 2nd year
- 2001, Larry Coker, Miami, 1st year
- 2000, Bob Stoops, OU, 2nd year.
Since the turn of the century, there hasn't been a single BCS NC won by a Coach who had coached at his respective school for a decade. The longest tenured coach was Mack Brown who coached at Texas for 8 years before he won one.
The average tenure for a coach to produce a NC at their school is a little over 3 years.
It doesn't appear that stability and long coaching tenures have been fundamental to success of recent. Stability is nice and comfortable. It's a lot less stressful than change. Of course stability doesn't address ambition and drive to become the best.
The real question comes down to whether or not you believe Coaching makes a big difference. If you do, you compete in the Market as it is. If you don’t, you imagine nice facilities alone will take you to the promised land.
I for one think coaching makes a huge difference. All the difference. Everything.
