Crammed into Dennis Dodd’s lengthy, compelling piece on the state of University of Washington football is this 24-karat nugget about new defensive coordinator Nick Holt, who came from USC with head coach Steve Sarkisian:

Unlike some other rebuilding BCS programs, however, Washington’s apparently got plenty of loot to try and get back into the big time.
