My ghost-written letter from Herb Mead to Mark Emmert (Dec 2007)

[DerekJohnson]

Going forward, our focus will be on the 2022 Huskies of course. But I found this letter in my email archives recently and I thought it would make for interesting reading for diehard Husky fans who went through the whole Willingham/Emmert/Turner situation in late 2007.

Thanks Taft!

Did you or Mead ever get confirmation that Emmert read the letter?

Herb said Emmert read it and that he wasn't too happy with Herb right now, or something like that. I can't remember the exact quote. After that, I don't think Herb and I ever discussed it again.

Not strong enough.

I was hoping for “Mark, you want to do this? Do you want to take the gloves off? Let’s roll”

I enjoy your writing.

I enjoy your writing.

You just enjoy the subject matter - a shitty UW team that should be better but can’t get out of its own way.
