Willingham lands on his feet
SEATTLE — Tyrone Willingham agreed to become Washington’s third football coach in four seasons, just two weeks after being fired by Notre Dame.
“I am excited about being here,” Willingham told reporters Sunday evening before meeting with players on campus.
Washington athletic department spokesman Jim Daves announced the hiring in a statement earlier Sunday.
The Huskies are coming off a school-worst 1-10 season, and Keith Gilbertson stepped down after two years as coach.
Willingham served the shortest tenure of any full-time Notre Dame coach in 70 years. He had three years left on his initial contract. Notre Dame had made a tradition of allowing its coaches to at least work through the length of their first contract.
Meanwhile, Willingham’s former school, Notre Dame, signed New England Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis to a six-year contract, the school said Sunday night. Weis, 48, returns to the school he graduated from in 1978.
Free hunting class
Hunter education classes are being offered by the Hawai‘i Dept. of Land & Natural Resources from Jan. 25-27, 2005 at the Kaua‘i Humane Society. Subjects covered include: firearms & archery safety, survival & first-aid, wildlife identification & conservation, rules and regulations, game care, and outdoor responsibility. Attendance for all sessions is required for certification. It’s open to anyone 10 years of age or above who enjoys the outdoors, not just hunters. Bring the whole family, everyone learns something. Contact the hunter education office by calling 1-800-353-4868 to pre-register, or for more information and/ore special needs. All students are required to provide a picture ID at the door.
