PrintRandy Hart has accepted a job to become the defensive line coach at Notre Dame. Hart is regarded as one of the very best defensive line coaches in the country and being tapped to join the Notre Dame staff is proof of the respect he has around the country.
Five members of last years Husky staff have found jobs for 2009.
- Randy Hart - Notre Dame
- Brian White - Florida
- Tim Lappano - Detroit Lions
- Ed Donatell - Denver Broncos
- Charlie Baggett - St Louis Rams
Five members of last years staff are still looking for positions. Expect Mike Denbrock and DJ Williams to end up somewhere by the time spring practice starts. Steve Gervais could go back into the HS coaching ranls but the word is he wants to remain a college coach if possible. Tormey is pretty deeply rooted in Seattle so it is hard to figure where he will land. Ty Willingham bought a house in the Bay Area so chances are good he ends up with the 49ers if he wants to coach in 2009. He has a lot of friends in that organization.

Hart
I agree with your assessment of Randy Hart. But I also believe his time had passed at UDub. We haven’t had that tremendous D line talent around since big daddy Tripplett. Hart, like us, needed a change. We needed to get more enthusiastic at DT and Hart needed a change in venue.
His name should always be linked to the University of Washington football program. He was a helluva coach in his day and I wish him all the best of luck. That is except when we play the stinkin’ Irish.
Go Dawgs! WOOF!!!

Agree Crazi
Sometimes change is good.

Is Ty
willing to put in the work the pros expect? There are not many places where you get by with minimal effort, even administrative positions expect a full days work.
Congrats to Coach Hart

I don't know if..
…that would be a good fit for him. I can’t imagine it really. His ego appears to be too big for that at this point. I think he be a better fit as some kind of office administrator in the NFL. I would think with his familiar face that might be an advantage.

Ty’s an athletic director type. Could he be holding out for an AD position at Stanford or Cal? Maybe get an assistant AD position and work up? I think the UofW job wore him out, did you see his face as he left the field at Cal? I think he is done coaching.

You sure?
He doesn’t seem to like dealing with the media all that much. How long would his gibberish be tolerated by the local media and the school he’s supposed to representing?
I think Ty wouldn’t mind chatting with the media as long as it didn’t involve the coaching aspect of it. Clearly you didn’t see him at the end of the Cal game as he strolled off into the sunset. The guy looked beat down in life.
Ty needs to get out of coaching. I think he’d be a helluva athletic director and I think he’d welcome that roll in intercolligate athletics. Ty’s not going pro, that part of the game is not in his blood. Ty’s a college guy, but burned out on coaching.

Gervais
I don’t think Gervais will get another golden shot at a BCS school as an assistant. I think his best bets are with either Oregon State or Washington State. The Beavs and Cougs might hire him mostly just to get an edge on recruiting the state of Washington.
But if the Beavs or Cougs don’t bite on him- I think his best chance to coach college ball is probably at places such as Idaho, EWU, Montana, Montana State, or Utah State. It’s tough to go from high school to major college without having an in. I think Gervais had an in with Washington because he was a local product that was very familiar with recruiting the state, plus they had a vacant position for him, plus Ty pushed the panic button.
I don’t know anything about Stevie and I don’t pretend to. But this I do know, if the college coaching staff he’d worked for had won some ballgames, he’d be a bigger comodity then he is right now.
Gervais needs to relocate if he plans to coach in college. I think the Beavs are set and it appears liar Wolff has a full slate of cheaters as well.

Gervais
Gervais had an in at UW because he coached Ty’s son at Skyline.

Good luck to Randy Hart
I am glad he gets another shot to erase the Ty stink on what was a great coaching career. He was a good guy and always used to fire up us Tyees at the fifth quarter, until TW came to town and then there were no more coaches at these events. Sincerely, thanks to Coach Hart and wish him the best.
Coach Randy Hart
As a Husky I can only wish him the very best. Notre Dame would be a fortunate school to hire a person as professional and talented as Coach Hart. I hated to see him not stay at the UW. We will miss him but can only wish him well. Remeber he will always be linked to the best player in Washington history, Steve Entman and an important staff member of the Dawgfather.
Wish him well too...
…I think the program needed to move on though. I remember listening to Millen on the radio and I got the distinct impression he felt the same way. Time for some new blood there.
