Nick Holt leaves USC for UW
 

I'm not sure why he'd want to leave USC for UW in the exact same position, but thanks none the less!!!! My Huskies now have both coordinators on the staff. Woot!!!

Probably because being the DC at USC is just like being a defensive coach, Pete Carroll calls the defensive plays.

I know Pete is the man down there, but I'll take the guys that have been learning from him for the last couple of years. I'm excited that we may steal a recruit or 2, even if it's in our own backyard. We need some kind of a bone up here, never thought I'd say that about the Dawgs.

Didn't Holt coach at Idaho? Might be wanting to get back to his roots in the Northwest.

Eh, I know they have some contact with the coaches that are leaving and all but playing for USC is the appeal of USC I'm not to worried about losing recruits.

Yeah, he was the head coach of the Vandals before he went to USC.

This opens the door for Pete's buddy Greg Robinson to go to USC

I think Washington is the 3rd best job in PAC-10 behind USC and UCLA(but they are idiots) so the Huskies have a great shot at being #2 in the PAC-10.

...and Cal?

I would rank them 5th behind Arizona State. ASU has the party school/chicks thing that helps recruiting. Cal reminds me alot of Mizzou, great school that has the potential to do something but never really does.

I think after USC, and then UCLA it is pretty tight between the rest with the exception of maybe WSU ( Damn hard to recruit to Pullman) and Stanford ( great university, beautiful campus, tougher to get athletes in) I would actually put Oregon third followed by Cal, Washington, ASU in no particular order. Eugene is a great place. Easy to recruit to as well. Bellotti also seems like he would be a great guy to play for.

My nephew is graduating from ASU this May. He has been right in the middle of heaven on earth for the last 4 years!

I'm going to miss GRob being at Syracuse. His destruction of that program was a nice boost for Rutgers. But I'm sure we'll continue to beat the piss out of them every year anyway.

They've traditionally been better than that even. UW has 3 national titles in football to their credit.

Thats why I have them that high lots of traditon in Seattle.

Yes, they have a great tradition there in a great city.

But where there ever "outright" National Champs? I know, it is tough to say which pole etc... But I do not remember them ever being out right champs.

What years are you saying they were " National Champions"?
