Washington lost its AD during a coaching search but had a qualified, obvious candidate all lined up.
It has been a tumultuous few months for Washington’s athletic department, to the point that events on Montlake seemed scripted by chaos itself.The Huskies won a College Football Playoff game, lost the national championship game, lost their football coach, got bludgeoned by the transfer portal, hired a football coach, fired their basketball coach, lost their athletic director and hired a basketball coach.
It’s not often that the obvious candidate for a coaching vacancy presents himself so clearly, so indisputably and so unwaveringly despite all the surrounding turmoil.But Sprinkle was there for the taking thanks to blood ties to the school — his father, Bill, played defensive back for UW in the 1960s — and his desire to work in the Big Ten.
He hit the transfer portal, assimilated the parts and forged a cohesive rotation that won the Mountain West regular-season title and reached the NCAAs. The Aggies won the game handily with something Washington fans might not have recognized: a coherent offense. The change constitutes a clear upgrade and gives UW a chance to eventually compete for top-tier finishes in the Big Ten, where the absence of basketball blue bloods creates opportunities for consistent success that don’t necessarily exist in football.
