Seriously, are you Serious?

In light of the debacle that the Husky football team has become and Willingham's comments regarding thus, I present to you today the House Calls/SNL segment; Seriously, Willingham, are you Serious?

Firstly, the 'Ham's comments after the Apple Cup (courtesy of the Seattle Times):

Willingham refuses to accept complete responsibility for this disaster, however.

"Obviously, if you're the head coach at this time, you take responsibility for what's going on," he said. "But it should also be noted, the day that I arrived, what the state of the program was. I take responsibility for where we're at, but there's also a process."

In other words, blame me, but remember to blame former coach Keith Gilbertson and maybe even Rick Neuheisel, too.

Seriously, Tyrone Willingham, like, really truly seriously? We're worse off than before you arrived, but it's not completely your fault? Seriously.

We haven't won a game in over a year and will go completely winless for the first time in program history, but you're going to blame someone who coached 5 or 6 years ago? Seriously.

It's not like you had 4 years to recruit and train and coach to try and win, I dunno, ONE GAME, just to show what kind of progress you've made. But because of Gilbertson and Neuheisel, you didn't stand a chance. Seriously, are you serious?

Let's overlook the fact that some key players had injuries. You've still managed to become the only winless team in Division 1 football. Are. You. Serious?

You lost to the Cougars, who hadn't beaten a D1 opponent and were statistically worse than your team. Reall-wait-ughgh, ok. I just threw up. Seriously? You can't be serious. Are you serious?

You lost to the Cougars, who-ah crap. I just threw up again. Seriously.

So winning 2.75 games a year for 4 years is a process? Seriously? What was to be the end result of this process? An even 3? Really.

You were paid how much to accomplish this? 7 figures? Are you serious? More than a million dollars, to win, let's see, no games! None! Seriously! No one's ever done that before while making that much, not in the history of college football. Were you also running AIG?

Seriously, you can't be serious. Really?
