WILLINGHAM TO MONTLAKE?
Tyrone Willingham is out at Notre Dame.
Now that Willingham is free of the echoes of South Bend, I would think that he's on the short list of candidates for the Washington job. Cal's Jeff Tedford would be the best fit for the Huskies. But if Tedford decides to stay in Berkeley, Willingham could be the guy.
Granted, I don't think Willingham is as great of a coach as some think he is. But he is a good coach. He took Stanford to the Rose Bowl for crying out loud. STANFORD! If he can win in Palo Alto, I think he can win anywhere. As I say that, Notre Dame was a no-win situation for Willingham. He had everything to lose and nothing to gain under the Golden Dome. The Fighting Irish firing Willingham may be the best thing to happen to him in his career, as crazy as that sounds.
Stay tuned...
