Everyones on the jock of jimmy lake. No denying his recruiting abilities, but are "we" over inflating his reputation as a coach? After the combine performance of the dbs, I think I could've coached them to an all conference level also. Discuss.

For the record. I know I actually couldn't coach anyone to all conference level. Its an expression asshole.

    Yeah, what was the point of going to college and getting coached by Jimmy Lake? They should have all just chilled for 3 years or gone to a juco, then crushed it at the combine.

    Missing the point Anton, great avitar btw, is he that great of a coach or is he just looking great because he had three potential 1st round athletes in his secondary.

    Budda was a 4 star, Jones was a low ranked 3 star (I think), and I have no idea about King.

    But it's highly unlikely it was just great recruiting. Downplaying coaching and focusing on recruiting, facilities, the location of the games being played, the weather, the altitude, the age of the players etc. is doogman shit

    Coaching is everything

    Yeah, coaching is everything. We will see what he does with a bunch of new starters this year and see if he's for real.....king and smj were just three stars but their athleticism didnt drastically change. They were overlooked. It's a forever question with no true answer. Id believe more in lake if he had a db at the combine running a 4.7 and jumping 26". But when his guys are at the top of the class for testing, you lean toward the credit going to the players.

    You are fucking stupid. Why the fuck would you even take a DB with those measureables unless it's the coog who is forced to take em.

    Hamden sucked as a coach as well since Ross ran a 4.22? Seriously you have no clue. Football is so much more than combine measurables. Plus I know he was at safety but king his first year was awful looked weak and confused. By the way what NFL corner runs a 4.7?

    Athletic ability is one thing. Knowing how to use it full speed in a game is coaching and talent.

    Even in the dark decade we had athletes. Ty had players drafted. Some really great athletes that made it in the NFL despite no college coaching or success.

    There is a big difference.

    Finally the board woke up. Springball cant come soon enough....

    Weakarm, way to come to the board in 2016. Im sure your year of experience here as the village idiot makes you the resident expert.... DIAFF

    I think the answer is what tequilla wrote you need both great talent and coaching to maximize ones ability.

    How quickly people forget getting torched for 7 TDs and 475 yards passing by Vernon Adams and EWU in the 2014 home opener.

    The secondary has improved consistently and rapidly under Lake for three straight years.

    It isn't just one or two guys either- the improvement is across the board. How many complete washouts have there been for players that stayed? Brandon Lewis and that is it?

    Next man up. Rapp, Jojo, Miller, Murphy...the secondary will be fine.

    Yo, I am running away with the village idiot of the year award this year. It is not even close.
