Genuinely never seen Pete this flustered. At least he's honest

That didn’t age well. I couldn’t care less about Kalen..I get the reality of business and coaches being fake on the outside. Telling players about family, loyalty, culture is all a marketing scheme..and trust me, Coaches are a dime a dozen (a billion dimes with inflation)- what bothers me about this man is he came to UW with a house full of treasures and left UW with the #43 ranked recruiting class and burned the house down. As a coach and a man, losing Kalen isn’t a big loss..he was here for a cup of coffee. He scheme is like a 100 other schemes, players win. But Hes a guy that needs the foundation already built, he wants to go to a legacy program rather than build his own legacy. Doesn’t make him a bad person, but he’s about himself and not about building lasting relationships. Sucks he left UW in shambles.
Good morning Husky Nation! Appreciate all the support last night! Enjoy the moment but know that the #JobsNotDone! #PurpleReign

"I think he upgrades 13 NFL teams next week... The fact that it wasn't even a debate at the end for the Heisman just shows that people don't watch Washington football." — @joelklatt makes the case for Michael Penix Jr.

A good quarterback can hit a door from 30 yards away. A great quarterback can hit the doorknob. Michael Penix can hit the keyhole.

So we’re just going to pretend that Lanning wouldn’t be about 16-10 without the current transfer portal (not available in 2015-16) and that someone isn’t writing big fat checks to a lot of these recruits while bringing up Helfrich ?? Ya’ll live in wild world. 🤦🏽‍♂️ But again, 7 years running now, I’ll remind ya: Call me when the Ducks reach the national championship game again. I’ve been anxiously waiting. 🧐 Y’all been slobbering over recruiting classes for 8 years and Oregon has done what? More coaches (3) than PAC titles (1 legit in 2019 loaded with Helfrich-era staff recruits that led to the most NFL combine invites in program history in 2020, and one COVID aided) with ZERO playoff appearances. That’s what. It’s amazing how some so childishly must marginalize past Oregon coaches in order to prop up current coaches. Actually, it’s embarrassing. Helfrich has FOUR conference title rings and coached in TWO national title games. The only two Oregon has ever played in And, oh yeah, he recruited, developed and guided Marcus Mariota to the only Heisman in program history. No real Oregon fan should ever disrespect Helfrich. Dude loved Oregon more than Chip, Willie, Mario and Dan combined. Also, still attacking me because I believed it was wrong for that staff to be fired is borderline Neanderthal behavior. Imagine hating the staff of Helfrich Pellum, Greatwood, Campbell, Lubick, Osborne, Neal so much that you routinely attack someone who backed them after ONE losing season two years after producing the greatest season in program history (2014). Lol Ridiculous. And, still doing so 7 years since their firing while celebrating a bunch of recruits who you know hardly anything about beyond the fact that recruiting services placed a bunch of stars by their names. And we all know that most of them will ultimately end up in the transfer portal. 😂 It’s pathetic and sad.

Everyone assumed that NIL would become the “rich get richer,” but by all accounts it’s not Georgia/Ohio State/Michigan throwing crazy money at guys. It’s more the programs with boosters desperate for respectability. (Or in Phil Knight’s case, a national championship.)

TCU had 0 NFL Draft picks in 2022 and then made the National Title game the following year with 8 players being taken in the 2023 Draft. Can Washington do the same?
NFL Draft Picks for the Top 8 AP Poll Teams: 1. Georgia - 10 2. TCU - 8 3. Michigan - 9 4. Ohio State - 6 5. Alabama - 10 6. Tennessee - 5 7. Penn State - 6 8. UW - 0 Washington returned all of their top draft eligible players for a National Title run in 2023. Only UW and Michigan return their QB’s among teams that finished in the Top 8
