"He's an excellent coach."

People here and in Colorade (his previous job) question that. See my previous post. He did take the UW to the Rose Bowl a couple of years ago, but that only happened because quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo pulled about 4 games out of the garbage can with improbable 4th quarter heroics. Since then, the defense has been bad and the running game has disappeared.

I follow the Huskies and I agree with your analysis. However, I saw very few coaching errors and a lot of creativity. His players liked him and I was looking forward to this upcoming year. I believe/hope that Gilbertson will have an excellent year, largely because of the groundwork laid by Neuheisel.

Like I said, I'm sad to see him go. The only reason I agree with firing him are the sanctions the NCAA was going to put on Washington.
