My stance on Wilcox is that I'm not sure he wouldn't be good. I don't understand why he's even in the conversation though. He's nowhere near the tier UW should be looking at. Not until he has coached a winner somewhere. So far all he has done is leave the SEC to be a part of the Sark party, fail upward with Sark to USC, then settle for a hopeless HC gig at a program who's aspiration is to compete for bowl games. What about his history and resume suggests he is in the elite tier of potentially available coaches?
Because you’re not selling Husky football. You’re selling working for an apathetic university that is more supportive of its Olympic sports than FB and MBB. You’re also selling a broken roster with massive holes after two years of suspect recruiting and a good amount of portalgasms.
The three most impactful PAC-12 coaches in 20 years were a 9/11 Truther retread from pro football, a chubby adorable little rascal from New Hampshire who refused to not speak out the side of his mouth, and a dude who had teeth that came out of a 1982 Dental Catalogue from Boise. What do the three of them have in common? Nothing. Hire the best coach you can, and if Wilcox is the best you *can* hire, that’s who you hire.
