Bye bye DB U.

Spavital is 31. I just don't see him as having the experience to take over a program. Too big of a gamble. If Wilcox comes and keeps Spavital, I could get behind that. I liked Wilcox until he was tainted by his association with Sark. Lake seems like a solid position coach, but other than that I have no opinion of him. Still prefer Kawasaki

Lake isn't getting the Cal job.

ROONEY SAYS HI!

I think it's going to be hard to hold onto Lake forever. He will probably want a a head coaching gig at some point. Until then though let's add some 0s to that paycheck. Socha as well.

Lake would be a good, but risky hire for Cal. He has the right demeanor to be a head coach. And he can recruit.

Cheap, too. This is a move in surprised more programs don't pursue -- take a flier on an obvious stud of a coach who is on his way to a being a "legitimate" head coach candidate in a few years.

Save a ton of money and, if you get the right guy, huge competitive advantage to get him first.

Instead programs pay huge salaries for retreads and has beens.

Lake has actually developed guys that weren't 4 and 5 stars. He's also probably not an alcoholic.

I want him to leave for Cal just so Kim can be wrong

Some big assumptions going on here

This is a bottom tier PAC job ... if I was Lake I'd take the interview for the experience but I'd wait and target either the UCLA or ASU jobs when they come available

I'd say he would be better off finding a good lower tier program like Colorado State/Boise St etc when their coach moves on. Look at the UH job...they hate it, but it's been the perfect springboard job. Get a few years learning to run a program without the craziness of having to rebuild it, get some success, and then you can move into a major program.

This is a bottom tier poast. You are not Jimmy Lake and he ain't getting the UCLA or ASU job.

I wish Slick Willie had hired Lake for our DBs. But I'm happy with his staff so whatevs.
