Woody nominated for national athletic director of the year

In sports you always need a little luck. I mean Don James was turned away by Colorado the year prior to his hire at UW.

Sports is always about luck which nobody wants to talk about. Sometimes lucky breaks go your way and sometimes they don't(James resigning 2 weeks before a season).

UW got lucky to get Petersen but if he becomes the coach we all think he'll be then nobody will remember it was "lucky". Instead Woodward will be a legend and rightly so.

However, crowning Woodward right now feels a bit premature. I wouldn't be surprised in five years though he is considered a top AD. Depends what he does with the basketball program to really figure it out.

Not Quooking this shit up.

If I thought your AD was good I would say so. I think Peterman is a great coach and will likely be a difference maker in our little rivalry. But the fact remains that Sark was here for the long haul until Pat Haden FS took him off your hands, your basketball program is a #flamingshittydreckfest and building a stadium is a nice accomplishment, but really only checks the block when one considers the size of UW and the resources at its disposal.

Phil Knight didn't find Chip Kelly, Gary Crowton did. (!)

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how you get there. Woodward has gotten backed into results.

I am amused a Duck would talk about backing into results.

Duck Gawds bless Phil Knight for what he has done.

The fact is ... with a lot of talented folks going through that program ... it wasn't shit until Uncle Phil opened his wallet.

Luck, money, or skill ... someone had to execute when chance met opportunity.

So you are saying Gary Crowton backed into Chip Kelly?

Or did he maximize where chance met opportunity?

Many teams went after Peterman ...

The stadium could have been built years ago had previous leaders understood who pays the bills.

From what I hear Romar is a great coach who only needs the right draw to get to the final four.

Here is what you are missing.

The road to success is littered with people who got to the one and failed.

Woody got the stadium built, he got Peterman hired ...

Everything looks easy ... after it's done.

Hell he is even getting baseball talked about on a Halfbrain bored ...

Go poast on a board about a university you understand
 
This thread gives me hope for the future. It's nice to know that even HHBs will write checks for mediocrity and back a known POS like Woody as long as he is right once every eight years.

Thanks for proving my point you fucking moron.

Saying Woody has done a good job is not being a doog. It's calling a spade a spade.

That's not what earned you the HHDOTW award.

You earned it for your lameass response to a legitimate take calling Woodward mediocre. AZDuck made some legitimate points and you gave a typical Grinolds response.

Uncle Phil is heading into the final two minutes of his fourth quarter. That is what gives me hope.

Are you trying to steal the HHDOTW from PGOS?

The Oregon AD or Phil Knight's assistant hired Helfrich and Altman. Those aren't looking like great hires. Jeremy Foley at Florida has a mantle full of championships in football and basketball. He also hired Ron Zook and Will Muschamp. I would love to see the AD with a perfect track record.

The only sport that truly matters at UW is football. The rest is a luxury, with basketball being at the top of the list. Woodward hired a highly sought after coach and got the stadium built for cheap. Football is how he earns his keep.

You can quibble all you want over how he did it, but ultimately it makes no fucking difference if he fired Sark or Sark left for USC.

 
Woodward has definitely improved at his job since 2008. I feel kind of bad having called him "Pool Bitch" a few times, but that's my passion for winning. I know the award is probably ultra faggy and p.c., so it encompasses 287 Olympic sports, and we're probably doing well in those. In terms of the money sports, he's done okay, maybe decent, but retaining Romar after three years of missing the tournament is a bad move.

Ehh AZDuck was pressing and not really making legitamite points. He wasn't giving Woodward credit for Petersen which he deserves.

He's also coming off as hypocritical since Oregon was nothing until Knight so happenly decided to be in their program. He even dismissed that point.

I hate it when @AZDuck‌ is right.

Hiring Peterman = great
Hiring and keeping Sark for five fucking years = horrible
Basketball = dumpster fire
Stadium = great, but well overdue

Summary = mediocre, but trending up.
