David Shaw has done well his first two seasons, but I totally agree with your point. That's what makes me hopeful about Helfrich. Most likely, he won't be anywhere close to as good as Chip. They rarely are.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:How many times has the loyal assistant ever met or exceeded expectations after becoming h.c.? You have Chimp, but besides him? They almost always get canned a few years later. ADs are stupid, especially ours.

Stay at home. The options are infinitely better.IrishDawg22 said:I wish there was an alternative pre & post Husky game option. My pre/post game travel is 2+ hours and those guys are just to painful for the drive.

David Shaw, Dabo Swinney, Chris Peterson, Jimbo Fisher, Pat Fitzgerald and Mike Gundy were all assistants on their teams before becoming the head coach. Just 6 of the current top 25. So "often" I believe would be the answer to your question.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:How many times has the loyal assistant ever met or exceeded expectations after becoming h.c.?

Lambo sucked and I hear he's not the great guy people make him out to be. I personally encountered him once for about 3 seconds (working on a golf course) and my opinion is he's a dick. FWIW I also encountered Gilby. Terrible lazy coach but seemed like a good guy.

Good post, and I'm surprised it was so many.TheKobeStopper said:

Yeah, anyone who says it was a mistake to fire Lambo is an idiot. I might give Lambo a slight edge over Sark, but they are somewhat similar in a way as head coaches.He_Needs_More_Time said:
Sadly you are 100% correct and yet Lambo is miles better than Sark.RoadDawg55 said:Lambright was a borderline terrible coach. He underachieved almost every year. I have tapes of a lot of those games, and the bad coaching is pretty evident when you go back and watch.
There was plenty of talent to win more games, and a decent coach would have gotten at least one 10 win season from 94-97.
Lambo was a bad coach. Biggest doog myth there is that firing him was a bad move.
Lambo was a good DC under James, but much of that was because he was coaching under James. Sark was a decent OC at USC, but that was mainly because of the elite talent and Carroll's insistence on running the ball. I still think Sark could be a good OC if he had the right coach restricting what he could call, he's just over his head when he is by himself. It was the same way with Lambo.
When Lambo was head coach, none of his defenses were that special, and Sark's offenses have been misses except for 2011. Even in 2011, the offense didn't do much whenever we played a team with a good defense.
Lambo's defenses ranked 23rd, 31st, 52nd, 36th, 40th, and 76th in points allowed per game when he was head coach. Being ranked 36th and 40th in '96 and '97 was pathetic. He had some very good talent on those defense. Without James, Lambo's defenses became average to below average. Both Lambo and Sark have had bad special teams, anything thing almost every good coach excels at. Neither guy is or was the right guy to lead UW.

Add Phil Fulmer to that list. Assistant takes over and elevates the program winning to SEC and National Titles.TheKobeStopper said:

I met a player Catalina Island a few years back ( no homo). He hated lambright. Said he was a dick.HeretoBeatmyChest said:Lambo sucked and I hear he's not the great guy people make him out to be.
