Keith Gilbertson conference record in four seasons at Cal: 11-21
Justin Wilcox conference record in five seasons at Cal: 13-24
Contextually Wilcox is better than Gilby but if you're only barely better than a man with a strong case as the worst HC in UW history you don't belong on anyone's list.
If rumors about Wilcox get serious this stat must be burned into every doog brain.
Once again, maybe you should talk to Ken Griswold[/b] before you go spouting off opinions where you have very little knowledge. Here's what he's got to say:
"Most out here know very little about Wilcox or his situation. He's very well-respected and is in an almost impossible situation right now. I wouldn't dismiss him so quickly with the limited knowledge most out here have. I like Wilcox a lot. And with the right staff, I think he'd do very, very well at UW."[/i]
I dealt with Justin a lot when he was at Cal. First thing to know is he is incredibly bright. He learned a lot at Cal and fought some demons. He's a bright, articulate, charming, engaging guy who is also competitive as hell. He's appeared to put his demons behind him.
You're going to love Wilcox. It will be interesting to see who he fills his staff with. Knowing the competitive nature of Justin, I'm sure he negotiated a large assistant salary pool. If he gets Tosh Lupoi on staff, watch out. Tosh is one of the best recruiters I've ever dealt with. He's currently with Atlanta.
He's an outstanding recruiting and phenomenal working with DB's. He trusts his guys and has an edge. Guys love playing for him.
Washington didn't hit a home run with Wilcox. They hit a grand slam.
