USC hires UW's Sarkisian

[EdubU10]

Think the huskies will pursue Beau or will they look for a big name coach? Regardless, UW's first game with a new coach will be against EWU, I like our chances even more.

As sad as I would be to see him go at least he would be still in state. And he would be getting PAID! This would be the perfect fit I think for him. Having that being said I think they will go with someone already in the FBS or maybe a drop down NFL'er.
I think that with the failure of Wolff at WSU they may steer away from Baldwin. :twocents:

Justin Wilcox is sitting there and proved out as DC. That said, guess USC gets what they deserve IMO.

Another thought: Ed Odgeron

Hope this doesn't distract from this weeks game at all . . . PLEASE DO NOT NAME HIM AS A PERSON OF INTEREST!
ALSO CHAVES . . . GET OUT THE CHECK BOOK!

Ditto. Don't think UW will go hunting in the FCS, but Wyoming fired Christensen today and was more concerned about that as Wyoming has always been the first FBS rung job and would consider an up and comer like Coach Baldwin. Who knows what goes in the minds of these geniuses though?

What a dumb hire by USC. UW is a monster program, and he was mired in mediocrity. Nothing about this makes sense.

Safarin Jenkins gone
Price Gone
Sankey Gone

LESS RAIN

That is a lot to lose and he could be going for the money grab as well.

Obviously I hope they don't want coach Baldwin. But if they do, good for him. I wouldn't be surprised if they went to Colorado State and made a run at Jim Mcelwein. That would be a really good choice for them IMO. Good guy and good coach.

right up there with kiffin and neuweasel at UW and UCLA.

Beau would be WAY better off going the Chip Kelly route than taking a Wyoming type job.

Agreed. No offense to Wyoming, but that job is a road to nowhere. They can't compete.

So you are thinking OC at big time program? Hard to take that step back from being "the man" hopefully.

Coach Baldwin is talented, so was Joe Tiller, Dennis Erickson, and Bill Lewis -- all coached at Wyoming on their way up. Not saying there isn't a better job out there for Coach B, but Wyoming is a stepping stone job for the "right" coach. Christensen never showed the "right stuff" IMO.

Regardless, KEEP COACH BALDWIN! :kisswink:

So question now becomes should UW be considered still as an elite program or just along the lines of Wyoming as a stepping stone to the LSU's, Oregon's, Ohio States, Alabama's and USC's of the world?

Being over here on the WEST side the belief is that UW is an Elite program . . .personally I don't see it until they are winning 9 or 10 games a year.

Sark is definitely leaving UW in a MUCH better position then what it was when he got there...but "Elite"? Nope. When I think "elite", it's Alabama, Oregon, Ohio State, Auburn, LSU, Stanford, etc...Teams that routinely win their respective conferences and are in the mix for a NC. And then some historical ones that maybe fall into that category like Florida State, Nebraska, Michigan. An 8-4 record in the Pac-12 (albeit the Pac-12 North) and a win over a .500 WSU in the Apple Cup doesn't make you an elite program, IMHO.

Doubt that they would persue BB after the experience WSU had with Wolff and when they hired that pisshead pirate.
If Beau picks up 4 more wins this season and his stock will definitely rise. Is it better for someone in his position to become an OC at a major program first, similar to what McElwain did, then step to HC at a FBS program?

He'd at least double his salary, have more resources, and get more exposure - see coach Mac, Sark. It gets you name recognition among AD's and college presidents and if you don't get hired from within when the opportunity arises, you can get hired away without the small program baggage.

I think that's a much more likely and less risky path to a big time job than trying to build success from the ground up at a Wyoming.

Sounds like Peterson from Boise WILL listen to offers from UW. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Bobby Hauck was on the brink of being fired earlier this year. While UNLV has not had a winning program in over a decade it would seem like a better shot to win than Wyoming.
Do the schools in the PAC-12 have an advantage over SEC, Big 12, ?? and other major conferences given the TV money or are they just now on par with them?

 

[clawman1]

Ed Orgeron is the one to get the shaft in this deal. He really did what was asked of him and more yet is outside looking in at the end of the day.
