Message: [QUOTE="AlaskaSU, post: 2140905, member: 230"] Everyone knows that a coaching change may well imperil incoming recruits. In this case, UW had a very exceptional class lined up. Romar pulled it off because he is well liked in the coaching community and well connected. Except for the Romar haters, and there are many, Hop will be compared to what might have been if Romar stayed. Perhaps I am thinking of Pitt. They wanted good riddance to slick hair but now that they are lacking in enough good recruits to form a complete team and are basement dwellers, things could get unpleasant. Pitt board has been in turmoil all year. Baring some miracle, UW will be next years basement dweller. The I do not expect UW fans to bail after one year, but they will start to peel off after a couple of years. I wish Hop luck because he does not have as easy a path as the 6 year contract suggests.
