This may have gone underreported, but the Washington Huskies football program held a quarterback competition this offseason. Jacob Eason won it. Jake Haener lost it, then opted to transfer a week before the start of the regular season.
That was Saturday. Two days later, Haener spoke about his decision with Dave “Softy” Mahler and Dick Fain on 950 AM KJR.
And, no, he holds no ill will towards Washington.
“At the end of the day, I think the coaching staff really cares about me and knows how hard I worked for the program and everything I did,” Haener said.
