Oregon is on the path to becoming a beast. Their head coach will change that team.

Neither here or there get a lot of snow. Seattle gets more rainy days at about 155 a year, more than most cities. They do get a lot of forest fires so air quality is said to be the equivalent of smoking 7 cigarettes a day.

Fires are not around Seattle. Most always north & east, meaning down wind. North Cascades- eastside has fires in dry years. Even when Mtn St Helen blew, all the volcanic ash went east sparing Seattle area of any damage. Corvallis is a little further east & might have air quality issues from fire in Oregon.

My son was just in Seattle this past Thanksgiving. Thought the place was a dirty smelly shithole. He went up there to visit his mother. Sanctuary city. bad idea. He said the entire downtown smelled like urine.

Possible from all the vagrants camped out in downtown area in recent years but Seattle metro is beautiful. Lived in the area for years, very few areas nicer.

Oh, I believe it. My ex moved to Port Angeles WA, which is between Seattle and Vancouver. She's been there about 8 months so far and loves it. Northwest is beautiful. It's a shame what is happening to some of these sanctuary cities though. San Francisco is going through the same thing.

It's become a thing to just write something off as fake news when it doesn't meet one's agenda or when something elevates above one's level of intelligence.

I don't understand or want to believe the truth so ... fake news.

More fake news, or just plain bs

LSU ? Sure it's a great job and if it came open, which it won't anytime soon, I'd help the guy pack.anybody would take that job

Washington ? Already filled. Nice try.

There's some truth for ya. Consider your intelligence level elevated.

What else you got on YOUR "agenda?"

Wolo said on his radio show yesterday that Mike had told him on the golf course this summer that Washington would be a place he would like to coach some day. Guess the OP must know what he is talking about.

You are right, few nicer
I lived in Gold Bar which is about half way between Everett and Stevens Pass for 30 years. I really miss it.....except for the politics.

Washington, lol.
I heard Wolo. I also heard Norvell on Verno's podcast talk with disdain about northwest football games on PST.
Seattle culture is nothing like Tempe - who was it that said that?
Some people assume Mike is a west coast guy because he came from ASU. He spent a grand total of 3 years in Tempe. The rest of his life has been spent in Oklahoma, Texas, Arky, and Memphis. Well, one year in Pitt. He's not a west coast guy.

Lived in Green Lake area for a while & then moved north to Skagit River valley near Mt Vernon, then Anacortes, IMO one of the most beautiful spots in the entire US. Interesting the politics, aside from Seattle - Tacoma, most of the state is pretty conservative. BTW, used to do some skiing at Steven's Pass.

MNs main recruiting areas his entire career are:

1) Louisiana
2) Oklahoma n Texas
3) West Coast - all of it

MN told me three years ago at dinner what I posted and has talked about that several times over drinks. It is what it is. It's ok if you didn't know, just wanted to share that info to everyone.

Cool story. Here are the facts. MNs top areas of recruiting as a HC, in order:
TN
MS
AL
LA
TX

70% of his recruits have come from those 5 states. The next 3 on the Pareto are:
GA
OK
AR

That brings you to 85% of his recruits. What's not on the top 10 list? Any west coast states.

West coast, including Arizona = 5%.

It's okay if you didn't realize. Many people prefer quick sound bites to actual data. Just thought you'd want to know.

Also, check out what he says about PNW weather and time zones on the 11/7 Vernon podcast at about the 1:53:00 mark. Sure doesn't seem dreamy about either.

Washington, please.

87, griffin clearly said Norvell's entire career, which included his time at Tulsa and then Arizona State.

And you do the stats above like Saluki does, just cut and paste without any nuance or analysis.

Oklahoma
UCLA

Not to say Washington isn't a good FB school, beautiful campus, classy stadium & pretty good support - and with USC & UCLA down, he could win there. But the culture of Seattle is almost like a foreign country compared to Memphis, Baton Rouge & Tallahassee.

Different but incredibly appealing, especially if you have a high paying job

I agree, beautiful area, great place to live and work, and if you have access to a private jet, that would make proximity to family easier to digest.

Only those close enough to MN know about Washington.

you don't have to take information shared to you - its your call. Or you can go spend time with MN yourself and find out.

How does MN feel

He and I chatted today at practice.

Nothing shared that is not known, once Wolo put Washington out he shared it with whom listened.

How is your case going? The overall strategy for Wiseman?

Would you rather him be suspended the entire year?

Edit: FSU because of the school and recruiting

And because that's where he's going.
