A leading candidate for the job at Washington in one image:

We'll believe this when hell freezes over and Lucifer is begging at our door to just come in for a few seconds to warm his poor cloven feet. For extra laughs, just rewatch the robot interview here.

That picture never gets old.

Never has one coach’s tenure been so succinctly encapsulated in one image, and to think, in the first year, too!

On behalf of the rest of the Pac-10: go for it, U-Dub.

As a University of Texas fan, all I can say is that that man made me a believer in random chance deviation theory.

Oh please let this be true please please please please please please please please.

Remember Huskies, you won’t be rolling over and showing the Cougs your belly when your battle cry is EXCELSIOR!

Believe it or nay, I think I’ve actually gotten a handle on the thought process of the UW administration with this one.

Step 1: Hire Dennis Franchione.

Step 2: Suck for another 4-5 years, get kicked out of the Pac-10, join the Big Sky Conference.

Step 3: PROFIT!

I thought this was a joke, but apparently it isn’t. Can Washington be that stupid?

He left us; thank God and Greyhound, but I pity the program that hires him. After us Texas A&M couldn’t wait to give him the boot.

Believe me, the game hasn’t suffered since he’s been gone; and the game been better since he’s left.

@9 That Seattle Times article just references the unsourced speculation from the Football Scoop website as it’s source for the rumor. I think an average Wikipedia entry has more validity than this right now.

If the Hat contemplates this for a millionth of a second he will demonstrate an imbecility his worst critics could not contemplate imputing to him.

On the one hand he’s a good D-coordinator and a QB away from MNC contention, on the other he’d be lucky to be Notre Dame Northwest.

There’s a greater likelhoohd of Matt Leinert completing a 20 yard out on a rope.

As a Trojan part of me wants to believe this; I wouldn’t mind the guaranteed W on the schedule (sorta like ND). But the tiny bit of sympathy I have for Husky fans (generally a decent sort) makes me recoil in horror at the thought.

Yes—a guy who couldn’t land talent in the best recruiting ground in the country (apologies FLADAH) and then did stupid things with the talent he did have should have no problem IN SEATTLE.

I’ll leave aside the pantheon of Lucifer, scatalogical, and being-Bob-Stoop’s-bitch references. For now.
