Kellen Winslow Jr. always struck me as a kid with a major attitude problem. I guess I hadn’t realized that he almost went to “U-Dub”
It was a big deal back then... he gave a verbal, then his father intervened by stating Washington didnt have enough black coaches on the staff.
Looking online, it appears that Neuheisel was hired over an older black assistant coach at Colorado and some type of protest went on.
This is the first I heard about the scab argument. But I remember as a teenager watching from the stands Neuheisel as a walkon QB win the Rose Bowl MVP trophy......versus Illinois (their last visit to Pasadena.)
Two of the touchdown passes were caught by....Karl Dorrell.
