Just wanted to pass along a quick post for those who have been wondering if anything is going on at Montlake with the coaching situation.

There may be a lot happening behind-the-scenes. But officially it was business as usual today, the team apparently tending to its regular day-after-game routine -- film sessions, rehab work, etc. --- same as any other week.

If something were to happen this week, however, it would likely come tomorrow (Monday), the day Tyrone Willingham holds his weekly press conference and the coaches begin in earnest to prepare for the week ahead.

When Keith Gilbertson was let go in 2004, for instance, it was announced at his regular Monday press briefing.

Gilbertson, if you recall, officially resigned but agreed to coach out the rest of the season, which that year meant three more games. There have been rumblings that a similar scenario could take place this year. And indications are that the administration at UW would be fine with it. Mark Emmert and Scott Woodward, if you recall, were here in 2004 when Gilbertson resigned but coached out the year, so if they were agreeable to doing that once, they likely would be again.

One advantage to that is keeping the day-to-day routine of the players intact. When Woodward said he wasn't in favor of an in-season change, he said one of the biggest reasons is concern over the program going astray during an interim period -- players not attending classes or missing conditioning sessions, etc.

One difference between 2004 and now, however, is that the fan base didn't seem as angry with Gilbertson -- who had previously coached at UW and is generally considered part of the Husky family -- as they are with Willingham. I don't remember anyone really questioning that Gilbertson coached out the last three games, and it seemed as if a lot of people rallied behind him. Not sure how the reaction would be to Willingham.

But the Huskies now have only two home games left and one -- against Rick Neuheisel and UCLA -- is sure to draw well no matter what UW's situation at the time.

None of this is to say that anything is necessarily going to happen tomorrow -- there may be only three people who really know what's going on -- just to detail one scenario that could occur.
