The Seattle Times writes: “Tyrone Willingham said one reason he agreed to resign Monday is his hope that the Washington football family can now "come together." That won't really happen, however, until the Huskies hire a new coach. Until then, the debate will rage — Jim Mora? Gary Pinkel? Jeff Tedford? All of those names, and a few more, are thought to be on the short list of the two men who ultimately will make the decision: UW president Mark Emmert and athletic director Scott Woodward.”

“Other possibilities include California's Jeff Tedford, whom the Huskies tried to court in fall 2004 when they instead hired Willingham (the other two coaches UW interviewed then were Les Miles, then of Oklahoma State, who took the Louisiana State job that year, and Tom O'Brien, then of Boston College).”
Molly Yanity of the Seattle Post Intelligencer writes:
“Jeff Tedford: I wrote in my story from Oct. 10 that Tedford was said to be curious about the job. Given that the tree-sitters are gone, I figure that curiosity was simply a passing whim.”
John Boyle of the Kitsap Sun writes:
The names of Cal's Jeff Tedford and Oregon State's Mike Riley seem to come up in a lot of coaching vacancies, but like Pinkel, neither may be willing give up their current success to start from the bottom just to earn a bigger pay check.
The News Tribune also mentions Tedford as a possible candidate.
