Jeff,

Just wanted to say that this note is long past due. As I watched your press conference this past spring I wanted to reach out and say how much I respected your actions but more importantly your words. As a head coach I know that my comments are looked at in every way possible. Here at UW I have a great AD because he is a man of his word and asks the same for all of us. Best wishes moving forward and stay strong. It was the right call!

Best wishes,

Bret

P.S. One thing I have learned through my time here at UW is that today’s society wants to win them all, but as Coaches and Administrators we need to balance the Big Picture for all our student athletes!

Good dude.

That is like something a 12 year old boy would send to a girl.


"Jenny,

I know you and Billy broke up. Go out with me?

Yeah, but theirs went like this.



"Dear Jeff,


Thanks for fricking it up for all of us. We all have side pieces in the office. Now the fricking AD's are breathing down our necks. Not cool, fricker. You broke bro code.

I have no reason to doubt that the letter was sent in confidence but I find it strange to make an FOI request and make it public. What is the motive?

The same as the motive for those who FOI'd Houston Nutt. Arkansas media is all about exposing the truth
