Yeah what else is he supposed to say. I have no idea but even if he's interested in UW Job he knows the right things to say.

He'd be a fool not to be interested frankly. I don't think the UW job is the greatest job. Even though the ceiling is higher, the expectations are probably a little higher there than they probably should be. Assuming he's not fired, his seat will be warmer next year. If you can bypass that, get a raise, and have greater support for the program and your assistants, it's hard to argue. If he was on the verge of something here, he might think differently. But it's hard to see next year being considerably different than what we've already seen here.

He should bolt if offered. OR, he bides his time until Crystoballs heads back down to FL and get the Oregun job. Wilcox at Oregun would dominate the PAC12 North.

Wilcox at Oregon would probably be his dream job, and Sirmon's, and Musgrave's.

I would love for this to happen. This would be my dream scenario but Wilcox would have to take Musgrave тАЬhomeтАЭ with him.

Musgraves offense to Oregon would be the ultimate square peg in a round hole.

Wilcox taking Musgrave and changing Oregon into a pro style offense would be coaching malpractice to the highest degree and would probably get him fired faster than Lake.

Ya - it would be naive to think Cristobal to Miami is not completely in play, so Wilcox to OR is a much more viable option than UW right now, IMO...UW needs a splashy guy after the Peterson retirement & ho-hum in-house Jimmy Lake hire/disaster...Wilcox is not that. For all the Wilcox talk, Jonathan Smith is actually a more likely fit, regardless of what that boob Wilner says....he's arguably done a better job in Corvallis than JW has done at Cal, and had a longer tenure and more success in Seattle as UW OC/QB coach....he's a bigger splash as well.

Could be wrong, and have no problem admitting it if I am, but I just don't see JW as the big fish UW is going to want and need right now.

I agree, Udub will want to go for a bigger fish than Wilcox. Wilner, as far as I know, started the rumor, which national media followed.

Not much of a rumor. It's pretty blatant.

Tre Watson and Keith Heyward both coached at Oregon before Cal.

Willcox, Sirmon, and Musgrave are all former Oregon players.

He's not saying he is uninterested in the job.
