Good point that winning in two very different places and in a tough situation at Washington differentiates him. If he just stays at Boise he's a very poor man's Mark Few at best and would have had to retire around when he went to UW to avoid winning 8-9 games there the rest of his career. Getting UW back to national relevancy was a tall task in the mid-2010s and he gets credit for being a huge part of the 2022-23 run.

He got his shot at being all time at Washington. Nobody gives a shit about his limp dick wins at boise.

Def Boise but he cemented himself as legit by being the only Bronco HC to find success post-Boise.

Same on 2021. Almost snuffed out my passion completely. Gear in a closet and I watched the games numbly rooting for Jimmy to lose big in the hope that if it were bad enough they might consider letting him go. Really what I foresaw was two more years of Lake tearing down and incinerating the program, mass exodus of players and top 50 recruiting classes full of diamonds in the rough that just needed to be developed by Lakes growing staff of sycophantic analysts promoted to position coaches. Cohens decisive move after the sideline love tap was easily one of the top 5 greatest moments of the last 25 years.
