All things considered, yesterday was a pretty damn good day for the Washington football program.
First and foremost, quarterback Jake Locker decided to delay a shot at NFL riches and return to the Huskies for his senior season.
Then, it was learned that offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier has decided to stick around as well.
According to the Seattle Times, San Jose State had an interest in Nussmeier for their coaching vacancy, and had actually spoken to the coordinator about an interview. In the end, Nussmeier said thanks, but no thanks to the Spartans.
“He was contacted and spoke to San Jose State,” athletic director Scott Woodward said. “He and their AD spoke for an hour and Doug has decided not to become a candidate. He likes the situation here and thinks it’s a great and better opportunity for he and his family to stay here.”
