There's nothing else for Lake to do at UW, it'd be bad for the program if he didn't move up/on. Best case we have a backup already on the staff, Lake can go do his thing, and come back if it doesn't work out, bob gregory style.Tequilla said:

I agree, but I'm not that worried about Lake leaving. We've priced him out of anything but a non-P5 head coaching position or a P5 DC position. He already declined Cal. Sure Cal sucks, but do you see him getting any offers to be a Head Coach without being a true DC yet? I don't. Do you see him getting offered a DC position at a top-half P5 school? Possibly, but I think that's a long shot.Tequilla said:

Tells me he leaves if Lake leaves
It's only a matter of time before Lake leaves to further his career -
so does everyone want to demote coach K to promote Lake? or do you think he should just be content and stay in his role?
-
K's too good, you can't demote him. Lakes an amazing DB coach but you don't know how he'll be as a DC. You don't denote a top 5 DC for an unknown, even one who is a great recruiter.LoneStarDawg said:so does everyone want to demote coach K to promote Lake? or do you think he should just be content and stay in his role?
Pay Lake as well as you can as long as you can to make it extremely hard to pull him away, but eventually he's gonna leave. -
The truth is, Lake is gone at some point. I think getting Heyward from Oregon or Alexander from Cal are legit options for us and will both be outstanding coaches for us.LoneStarDawg said:so does everyone want to demote coach K to promote Lake? or do you think he should just be content and stay in his role?
If it happened this year, great.
A little birdie told me we might have a shot at bringing Peter Sirmon back as well and he knows both those guys (don't forget we add a coach this next year).
All I want is Gordon and a good S at this point. -
What would Sirmon coach, OLBs? Getting an ace recruiter like him as the extra coach would be amazing. More than make up for losing Lake, especially if you replace him with Heyward who I still like.Dennis_DeYoung said:

That would be an insane defensive staff. -
I actually said I loved this recruit. I said it was great at the time. I get it was a great recruit at the time. Others didn't share the same opinion, I've heard and I had some of those concerns myself.
But, overall I thought it was a very good recruit. A very good recruit. One of the best recruits in a long time. And I think history will be on my side on this one.
Now I hear everyone saying it's such a great recruit. Jimmy Lake called me the other day and expressed his gratitude for my support. What a gracious guy. He was really very gracious.
Anyway, so, I thought it was a great recruit. Others may have not, but I was always mostly in his camp, though I expressed doubts.
There are still some that don't believe this is a great recruit. Really. These people. Sad. -
I like Simon but I'm not sure I'd describe him as an "ace recruiter" unless you count almost having a hat on Rubens Foster's table as making him an ace. Like with Heyward, theres this doogman mythology that Sark had this recruiting dream team assembled at UW. During his time at UW, I don't think he closed on a single 4-star guy. From a strictly-recruiting standpoint, his most prolific get was Constantine. Gregory has certainly done better.dnc said:

Not so confident in Sirmon as a recruiter, shit he can't even recruit his own son.

Maybe the plan is to bring him on next yearWeakarmCobra said:Not so confident in Sirmon as a recruiter, shit he can't even recruit his own son.
