Stanback weighs in

Losing Willingham, Sark, and Gilbertson were fucking blessings. losing Petersen was a retirement decision. Losing DeBoer was the only relative surprise. Fuck Cohen and who cares. Otherwise his video is spot on. I guess.

In his rambling (NTTAWWT, I sometimes do the same meandering, stream of consciousness, thinking aloud too) if you're able to pan for the nuggets of truth, I think his real issue is our hiring process is broken.

I'm getting frustrated with the revolving door around here too, but to dovetail with everything we've been saying about our school being Stepping Stone U, maybe it's time to embrace it. Moneyball this shit. We're the Oakland As now.

I have no idea what that looks like, but you have to get these diamonds in the rough that are hungry for their first head coaching on the cheap and say, "you'll get yours if you stay, but understand you'll pay for it dearly in buyouts if you LEAVE!"

His loser attitude is the fucking problem. Already resigned to playing second fiddle to “the South.” That’s a loser fucking mindset.

Do you think Michigan, Ohio St, USC, and even fucking whOregon have that attitude? Nope.

So you and your low expectations are the fucking problem.

Fuck you Stanbach. Shitty QB and just like Locker, should have been a Safety.

Brilliant idea dude, hire young unproven coaches with huge buyouts, what can go wrong!

Maybe signing a young unproven whelp with a huge buyout isn't a brilliant idea in case he is fucking trash and we need to move on

We were just in the natty, we don't need a diamond in the rough stop being a pussy and demand more from the program

Are you aware of this thing called the Seahawks?

Good point, they call it the 12th man because nobody gives a fuck about football, brilliant

The issue for UW is that seattle isn't a college town, no shit uw doesn't dominate media in seattle, why don't we garner attention like Eugene or Tuscaloosa or ann arbor or Gainesville or do you get the point?

I probably should have clarified *college* football. I think its more of a case of academic snobbery and hatred of the university spending money on collegiate athletics than anything, since there are conflicting interests there unlike the media monster that is the NFL. I could have worded it a lot better, I'll admit.

The UW fucking loved all the attention they got this year. And the money that came with it.

Even moreso than when their Covid models were embarrassingly wrong on cable TV 99% of the time in 2020.

I shouldn't have been a cunt about it though, difficult to remain level headed with emotions running high

Seattle and beyond love the Huskies when they're doing well and especially when the Seahawks are not.

Think I read not too long ago that UW has more alums within 25 miles of campus than any other school.

 
Is UW’s rate of coaching turnover really that unusual? It didn’t seem like it is. Having a coach stick like Saban did is the exception, not the rule.

How many coaches has Florida gone through? They’ve had , what, 10 coaches since Superior?

I think it’s more common than rare today.

A lot of Husky fans are living in the past.

Brilliant idea dude, hire young unproven coaches with huge buyouts, what can go wrong!

Maybe signing a young unproven whelp with a huge buyout isn't a brilliant idea in case he is fucking trash and we need to move on

We were just in the natty, we don't need a diamond in the rough stop being a pussy and demand more from the program

Is anyone gonna tell him?

Best just to let him stew.

Not a chance uw out ranks LA (usc/ucla), I get the sentiment though... Definitely outrank spots like Tuscaloosa

Dunno what the fuck you're talking about with seahawks though, more bandwagon fans than anything, you've gotta be significantly younger than me I guess

What am I missing?

If it's a deboer reference, we were coming off of 4-8 not a national championship, we have no business taking a shot on someone unproven while the iron is hot
