I think Olmsted is a great choice. He has done a lot already and Washington would be lucky to have him.

I still think it will be someone currently coaching in the PAC 12 . . .

I've seen Restrepo's name mentioned a few times. I might be missing something, but other than apparently being on a first name basis with the SWA, what is there in Santiago's resume that would suggest he would be the right choice for Washington? I also find it curious (seriously, not sarcastically) that when WCC coaches are mentioned, the names that come up are Olmstead, Black, and Browning - but not the most successful coach in the conference over the past decade, Jennifer Petrie. Personally, I think Keno is probably the most obvious - and safest - choice at this point. Has shown at Miami he can handle a HC gig, knows the UW program (including donors), and knows West Coast recruiting - which is, IMO, the single most important quality a new head coach needs to bring to UW. All the names you mentioned impresses you more than Restrepo? Seriously? I think he needs a new PR person.

Do bigger coaches like Restrepo physically participate in practice with their teams? Does Rose? Cook? Haley? Dunning? Sheffield? Hambly? Shondell? Rosen? Elliott? Skinner?

I asked a question. Now, I did say that Keno Gandara is, IMO, an obvious candidate for the reasons mentioned above.

Jennifer Petrie is an impressive coach. UW would do well to give her a look. The 2013 San Diego team was excellent.

In an earlier post I dismissed it, but the more I thought about it, the more I like Diane Flick. She certainly has an excellent UW pedigree and has proven herself to be an excellent coach. I also think that her personality would ease the transition from JMac for the returning players while she brings in quality players to the program.
Though Leslie or even Keno are obvious and even easier choices, I don't like the idea of trying to get a JMac II. Choose the next head coach based on their talent and style rather than trying to recreate the old.

Maybe it's a perfect time for Karch Kiraly to secure a great coaching job post Rio That's a dangerous path, I think. Minnesota fans could probably speak more to it than I, but it seems to me that the Gophers really struggled with recruiting in the two (it was two, right?) seasons between naming Hugh HC and him actually being present in Minneapolis, and the program is still paying for it. Not saying it's unworkable, but it is risky - fall a couple of recruiting classes behind USC, Stanford, Oregon, ASU etc, and it's going to be tough to catch up. It sure as hell would be a "splash" hire, though. It worked out pretty well for USC back in the late 90's when they hired Haley and waited for him until after the 2000 Olympics.

If Coach Elliott hadn't been the "interim head coach" at USC during that time, not sure Texas would have hired him. Glad it all worked out.

But USC's interim coach was the best recruiter in college volleyball sitting in the deepest recruiting territory in the country. How often is that going to happen?

Fun fact: Tom's wife, Crystal, is from Seattle, and her family still lives there.
