Look no further than our buddy, Jim Mora at UCLA. When Rick Neuheisel was fired on Novemeber 29th, 2011, UCLA had 7 verbal commitments. UCLA had one 4*, three 3*'s, and three 2 *'s. Just like with UW now, there was really nothing to save.
Come signing day, UCLA finished with the #12 ranked class on Scout. Point is, if UW hired the right coach, we could still finish with a good recruiting class, probably much better than with a lame duck coach who can no longer sell the future. We are no longer a team on the rise. Four years in a row with at least four conference losses says it all. This is a team stuck in the mud. Recruits don't care about stadiums, facilities, and young coaches if those teams are not any good. Recruits want to play for winners.
