Husky fans already disappointed with Ty's recruiting?

[Irish Envy]

I was hunting around a couple UDub message boards and there are already rumbles about Ty being slow on the recruiting trail.

Boy, have they got no clue!

 

[Guest]

Yeah I think Washington only has two commits, both of whom are nobodys. Their is a chance though that Ty may be able to get Jonathan Stewart

 

[irishgo8]

Thought so....Ty will take them from 1-10 to about 5-6, 6-5, 5-6 or something around there and then get canned

 

[brucejcarr]

Wahsington fans are going to feel our pain in the next few years with Ty's staff. He basicly has the same staff he had at ND What a joke!!!

 

[irishgo8]

It is a joke but lets wait till lyght comes here to have some fun......

Willingham has a better chance of recruiting Jon Stewart from the Daily Show than he does recruiting Jon Stewart the RB. lol

Haha, that's great..

come on guys lets give ty some more slack...i mean he has recruited a 2star kicker, and a QB who isn't even ranked...i'm sure UDUB will be right back in the mix with the overwhelming amount of talent...TY will show all of us and ND how wrong we were in questioning him come D-DAY 9/23/05 when he lays the wood to our behinds. Heck if anyone is going to topple USC for Pac10 and national dominance it will be TY with his incredibly skilled place kicker

 

[Guest]

I'm not saying Ty's a good recruiter, cause he's not. But Stewart likes him, and plans on staying near home.

Yeah, I've checked out a few UW boards. A lot of the complaints are coming from fans who had said they wanted Tedford or Chow...or didn't want ty in the first place.

I think they have some talent in place (see Corey Paus), but I think that they kind of coasted under the interim coach. Having listened to a few player interviews, I think the squad is happy to have Willingham there, and that they will improve their play under him.

The big thing is that TyWillie's bringing in a new OC. I think the coaching staff (half from ND/half from UW) will be much better than the staff he brought to ND a few years ago.

And if after last season, Ty goes 6-5 next year and gets them a bowl-berth, they'll have a parade for him in downtown Seattle.

of coarse they will...until after that he shows how inconsistent he is and goes 4-8, or worse...then they to will have to listen to a bunch of idiots who dont know what there talking about criticize them for wanting to win..after they ax him

 

[NDLyght37]

I disagree. I think that Ty brings 3 things to the program:

- A big-name coach from a big-name school.
- A very solid coach that can bring UW back to respectability.
- Discipline & graduating kids...something they need after the Neuheisel Era,

The bottom line is that Tyrone Willingham knows the Pac-10, and he can turn UW into a conference contender (Rose Bowl...Stanford. 'Nuff said...lol). And if Ty gets Stewart to commit and combines him with the studs he already has at the QB position...look out.

 

[Aerosmith777]

LOL!

A. You KNOW that team is not going 6-5 next year Lyght. Hehe, I know you love Willingham and all, and I'll even admit I think they'll play better under him, but he's not a miracle worker. And before you say anything, for the record I don't think Weis could make that team a 6-5 squad in one year either, so its not even the coach I'm criticizing, its the team.

B. Even if hypothetically they DID go 6-5, that would make the fans happy for a grand total of 1 season. That's it. If he goes 6-5 season, and then doesn't even do worse but simply stays there at 6-5 for two or three seasons after that, the fans at Washington will be calling for his job the same way the ones at South Bend were.

A. Oh yeah, I think 4-7/5-6 is about as good as they can hope for. I was just responding to irish saying 6-5 wouldn't be good enough.

B. Once Ty's got the thing rolling, I think he can be a consistent 7 game winner at that program. Not great, but I think after the Neuheisel debacle, they'd be happy with a bowl-bound team almost every season.

i disagree, because
a) while the winning standards at UW may not be as high as ND, they are still very high. with the recent success of USC, and now Cal in the Pac10...there will be a lot of pressure for him to be in serious competition if not winning the PAC10
whereas they are not as high as ND, they are still very high

b) as we all know by now, everything in CF is dictated by the bottom dollar. U-DUB is a "football" school LOSING does not help you generate the MUCH NEEDED support($) to fund the various athletic programs. point being very few people will want to lay down there hard earned money to see UW get blown out by SC, Cal, ND(9.23.05) and the other programs in the PAC10 in the next 3-4 years

I like TY as a person, thought he did great with the kids on lifeskills...However i feel that a guy like him may be suited to be a coordinator, or a coach of a smaller program, and not one who is led like a sheep to the slaughter at these big time programs

 

[Guest]

I'll be interested to see how Ty recruits this year and upcoming years. He did very poorly recruiting at ND. It will be interesting to see if kids want to go play for Ty after ND fired him. Washington is usually a good place to recruit, they have no problems bringing in top 10 classes every now and then, if Ty struggles with recruiting the fans will get on him.

Washington fans are not going to like Ty's laid back approach to recruiting.

Plus their were a few players at ND that transferred out. I know the ND AD was very concerned about this, and that was one of the major reasons he got canned.

Ty better make sure he keeps everyone on board at Washington. Or the fans will call for his head.

Yeah, this is where the new OC comes into play. If he gets a young rah-rah guy in there (an Urban Meyer-type), then you put him in charge of the recruiting. You save Ty to "close the deal". I think if a kid is undecided between say UW and Cal or Arizona, that getting the kid excited about the univeristy is only one half of the battle. I think Ty does a better job of selling his programs to the parents than to a 17-18 year old kid. Since there's nothing written that says recruiting is only the head coaches responsibility...delegate. And anyone who plays EA Sports games knows you lure a recruit with assistants, and send the head coach in to finish the job. :laugh"

are you kidding me...didn't you see one game this year...didn't you see the poor management...he is horrible...he will never win a championship

 

[NDLyght37]

Realistically, how many different coaches have one the National Title in the last 5 years. Stoops & Carroll, and the SEC flavor of the year pretty much have the championship on lock for a while...and if not them, then certainly the Miamis & FSUs of the world have a more realistic shot in the immediate future than either Willingham or Weis and their respective programs.

And how can you say he was a horrible coach? Anyone who can take Stanford to the Pac-10 Championship and a Rose Bowl berth has to a lil' know something about X's & O's. Let's not forget that the man took us to two bowl games and was starting to turn things around with his own personell after taking on a lot of Davie's baggage.

The bottom line is both ND & TyWillie are in a better place rght now, and I think that both we & UW fans will have plenty to cheer about in the upcoming season.

 

[irishtexan]

If ty would have kept his old O.C. , then i think the huskies would have MAYBE won 2 games next year because he is so predictable in his game play. This new coordinator might bring in something that can get the huskies to win 4 or 5 at best, but thats as high as they get. Then again, he may stink and they may win 1 game. Do they really only have 2 commits? Ty will screw up their depth charts like he did us and stanford by recruiting 500 skill players and no linemen.

Lyght Your the man, we all love ya, but your dead wrong about Ty bro. first off taking ND to two bowl games doesn't mean sh*t. This guy has set ND back years with his recruiting, like he did stanford like he will washington.

As for X's and O's there cannot be a worse coach, THE MAN JUST GIVES TOO MUCH LEEWAY TO HIS ASSISTANTS. Please someone tell me what he did at ND, he didn't coach, Diedrick and the Baer pretty much called 99 percent of the plays, and Ty sure as heck didn't recruit, i'm not hating on the guy these are just the facts. What was Ty a good Motivator? wow thats great, but That doesn't make a great coach.
Stanford fans were begging us to take him off there hands for a reason.

Agree with Queens did u see the team motivated against BYU??? i mean a 5-6 team that fires its coach and we lose 20-17 and then go on to be a top 10 team? i mean any team even a Duke would consider that loss unacceptable....and to go 5-7 and 6-6 at notre Dame - remeber this is NOTRE DAME....we expected by now a Cotton Bowl a decent team - maybe as good as a BCS bowl - look at what Carrol was able to do with a USC team that was down just as much....there is a press release on the web lyght that talks about some1 overhearing the ND halftime prep talk for the USC game

Willingham: well boys we lost this one by 31 points again....maybe next year the Insight bowl is looking better each coming day

The boys go out all depressed and not caring wether they win or lose for a mediocre Insight Bowl ty doesnt leave immediatly

Willingham takes out his willingham bobblehead

Willingham: do u think i can make some fun of ND if they fire me this year? what do u think? do u think this school who wanted me to wake up the echoes will fire me?

Bobblehead stops bobbling looks at willie in the eyes and willingham runs out to share the gloom of his lastm game at ND

 

[Guest]

Wow and this is were losingham wants to be - the more i read at ESPN the more i wish Ty was back - the more i look at his record what he is doing at Stanford come on there is NO WAY ND should have kept him another year - every extra year we kept him set us back another year
