GILBY GONE
If you ask me, the Huskies still haven't recovered from the Rick Neuheisel fiasco. Today, Keith Gilbertson takes the fall.
Overall, I thought that Gilbertson inherited a no-win situation, and this became even more apparent once the last couple of crappy Neuheisel recruiting classes rolled in. A sample of some calls this morning on KJR include some who think the Huskies had some of the worst coaching they've ever had, whereas Softy would point out that no coach could win given when there are no true quarterbacks on the team, the ones that are playing quarterback are throwing to players wearing the wrong uniforms, and the receivers are midgets (fair, though me and my 5'7" stature cringe at this).
All in all, the press conference will be at 2:30, and Gilbertson will serve out the rest of the season as coach and then step down, as mutually agreed to by Gilbertson and the brass.
And since I'm bored and watching Washington/Oregon State volleybalt on FSNNW at the moment, I must mention to you all that the Seahawks Live show on Monday nights may be one of the cheesiest sort of "we're trying too hard" shows I've ever seen, and it all starts with Angie, the crappy theme music, and the constantly moving (think MTV's "Total Request Live") cameras.
But yeah, Keith Gilbertson is gone.
