Reply #5: As an ND fan, I think UW is a better fit for him [View All]

Ty is a great guy and I really wanted him to succeed, even moreso because I think it would be very significant for a minority to succeed at the most famous school in the country. Unfortunately, he was unwilling to make staff changes, which sealed his fate. While he is a good guy and runs a clean program, he is not a good Xs and Os coach, as he was never a coordinator at any level. This makes it even more important for him to have a good staff, as he can't step in and fix things himself like a Spurrier, Stoops, or Carroll can. I have heard that UW did not want certain staff members to come, which should help him some. At the very least he'll run a clean program, and should be able to do much better than Gilbertson. He's also back in the Pac-10, which should be more comfortable for his style. He left ND on much better terms than Davie, and I wish him well at UW.
