The coaching carousel of death spun one stop closer to landing on Greg Robinson today with the dismissal of Ty Willingham at Washington. Washington was 11-32 under Willingham's watch with the latest game being a 33-7 loss to his former employer Notre Dame on Saturday night.
In a situation that a lot of Syracuse fans will relate to, things got so bad after the last loss that some were calling for the retention of Willingham, just so the University would have to live with the consequences.
Washington was one of only two teams in Division I without a win, North Texas is the other. It's not hard to argue that Syracuse would have joined the list, if not for scheduling I-AA Northeastern earlier this year.
As bad as Ty has been at Washington, he's won 3 more games than Greg Robinson, including a 42-12 ass-kicking the Huskies put on the Orange last year.
As Donnie Webb wrote on Sunday, the end is near for Greg, hopefully Syracuse fans get a similar announcement next Sunday after Robinson engineers another loss. For those that want more on the story, here's the ESPN video.
