If you think this is bad for UW you haven’t seen him play.

Lincoln Riley had no head coaching experience before he took over Oklahoma and he did ok. Ryan Day. Mel Tucker, the list goes on. 

 

Plenty of coaches make the transition just fine. 

 

And plenty don't.  Jimmy Lake, Randy Shannon, Mark Helfrich...

Looks like a good hire.  But it would be a little scary if fans weren't happy the day of the hire and didn't emphasize his clear positives.  I expect Lanning to win the introductory press conference, too.  We'll see how things go when the games start.  I expect Riley to do quite well. We'll see about DeBoer.  Smith is hampered by talent, but will probably do more with less than others.
