The 2008 Washington Huskies football team . The team's head coach was Tyrone Willingham. The Huskies played their home games at Husky Stadium in Seattle, Washington. The 2008 Huskies were the first 0–12 team in Pac-10 conference history and the only team in the country to finish the 2008 season without a victory. The Huskies were outscored 159–463 during the losing streak.
On October 27, 2008, the Monday after a 33–7 loss to Notre Dame, it was announced that Willingham would step down as head coach at the end of the 2008 season. University of Washington Athletic Director Scott Woodward said the announcement ended speculation of what was going to happen with Willingham, who had a year remaining on his contract.
"It became quite obvious that the performance on the football field wasn't up to what we talked about at the beginning of the season and previous to the season and it became more obvious as time went on," Woodward said in explaining his decision to make the move.
