Locker on football coach advisory committee
Posted by Don Ruiz @ 11:53:34 am

UW president Mark Emmert has appointed a search advisory committee to assist in the UW's search for a new head football coach.

Among the appointees is sophomore quarterback Jake Locker.

The committee is chaired by Pat Dobel, a professor of public affairs who also serves as the UW's faculty athletic representative to the Pacific-10 Conference. The committee will report to Emmert and Athletic Director Scott Woodward.

Here's a link to the complete release from GoHuskies.com.

Meanwhile, the list of possible candidates seems to have lost one possible name with the news that Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp has officially been named next in line for the top job there.

Mike Walker, Defensive Line Coach for Washington State is available for a coaching job. He is a tremendous coach, and could easily bring the UW back into prominance. JH

Has anyone else looked at the composition of the search committee? Do they know they're conducting a search for a head football coach and not a visiting professor for the English department?

Did they ask for advice from the Dawgfather? And how about a seat at the table for the non-Tyee fans? I'm worried that a committee composed mainly of tenured profs from the upper campus is going to yield another potted plant.

I tried -- and failed -- to get hold of Scott Woodward today to clarify this committee's role. It is my impression that these guys are their to sort of make sure no outlaw is brought in, no one clearly contrary to the university's mission. But I'm certain the picking is coming from the one-two punch of Emmert and Woodward.
