Willingham to step down as Huskies coach at season's end

SEATTLE -- Washington coach Tyrone Willingham said Monday he will step down at the end of the 2008 season.


The embattled Washington coach fell to 0-7 on Saturday after a 33-7 loss to Notre Dame. Willingham and athletics director Scott Woodward made the announcement at a news conference.

Willingham has been under fire for being unable to turn around the Washington program. He is 11-32 overall in his four seasons with the Huskies. Washington currently has a nine-game losing streak dating back to last season, tied with North Texas for the longest in the country.

Woodward has said he did not want to change coaches during the middle of the season. But he said Monday's announcement ends speculation of what is going to happen with Willingham and lets the team focus on the final five games.

<---This guy cares, thanks for the info....

Yep, I was waiting for this to happen. Nobody can say he didn't get a fair chance.

Now, what I wish would happen is Jim Mora take over the Huskies job. Then next year we bring Bill Cowher in to replace Holmgren as the head coach of the Seahawks. That would be dope.
