Bow Down to Willingham: Seattle White Guilt on Display

http://www.derekjohnsonbooks.com By December 2007, Washington football was in a state of collapse. Coach Tyrone Willingham, with an 11-25 record, was under fire. A regional civil war broke out between fans who wanted him retained and those who wanted him fired and replaced by former Husky Jim L Mora.

UW President Mark Emmert made his decision to retain Willingham for 2008, which would doom the Huskies to become the only 0-12 team in Pac-10 history.

But on December 7, 2007, two days after Willingham was retained, KJR 950's popular morning host Mitch Levy took to the airwaves to expresses his bewilderment at the bizarre manner that Seattle sports fans fervently insisted that Willingham was doing a great job.

Bow Down to Willingham, a book by Derek Johnson, delves into detail about this exasperating, secretive and intriguing time in Husky Football history. It features interviews with dozens of former players as well as with current NCAA President Mark Emmert.

Tyrone was disliked by most players and famous alumni. He made more money than any state worker. His race and uw admins hate of white men secured his job and made him millions for doing worse than nothing.

i can't believe anyone ever defended this menace of a coach... I wanted him fired half way through the 06 season, when we could barely beat punching bags Sj st. and FSU in the preseason then got molested in conference play. So many players came out in DJs book about how bad the conduct of the coach was and how unprofessionally he took this job. Hiring TW was the worst mistake the university of washington has ever made, and it's amazing that we are bouncing back from that resiliently 2 seas ltr
