I'm surprised some of you are surprised. He played for Rick Neuheisel, GA'd for Sark, coached for Neu, then coached for Sark. The dude hasn't exactly been mentored by bastions of discipline and integrity. He was an incredible player, and has the ability to be pretty bright, but he's a victim of the football culture he's been surrounded with and trained up in. If he ever spends time on a staff with a hardass they might just bring out his best and knock the soft shit out of him, at which case I'd welcome him back in purple, gold, black, white and chrome. But I wouldn't be want to be the one to take him directly from Sloppy Seven's staff and have to fix him, and I'm skeptical he'll ever be fixed.
We'll always have the Hunger Games Bowel.
He chose to coach for Neu & Sark. If he wanted to coach for a hardass coach, he would have sent out applications and feelers to other programs and interviewed. Instead, he went the safe route.
I appreciate what he did for the UW as a player. But, his actions as a coach have shown a level of laziness and taking the easy route.
