This year they're 0-7, the only winless team in a BCS conference. They got the crap kicked out of them by Arizona. Teams like this are why people snicker at the PAC-10.
Anyway they will end up breaking the bank for Lane Kiffin, which will probably be a decent hire.
Even if Pinkel did leave, we just promote Christiansen and move on.

Yep. Neuheisal did this program in for sure. The Big XXII is also on the rise. It really doesn't make any sense to me why he would want to leave MU, but that being said, why not just deny it? He didn't. At all. So I have hope.
Also, let's not pretend like UW is some barren wasteland bereft of any prestige, or program history. We've won a national championship in the last 20 years, and it was under the tutilege of James and Pinkel. A lot of people don't remember the glory days of the UW football program but you can believe that Pinkel does. He was a big part of it.
As far as snickering at the Pac 10, that's fine. Snicker. The conference has gotten better from top to bottom, and whoever takes the UW job is going to get the recruiting class that was ranked top 10 IIRC last year, and those kids are on the field right now gaining experience. UW will be back in the next 5 years as long as someone halfway competant is hired. Tyrone sacrificed himself to improve this program this year. I'm extremely optimistic about our future. Maybe it's just the homer in me...........
