Lake is quite easily and quite honestly the best secondary coach we have ever had, where would he rank in the pantheon of overall Washington assistants in history? Top 10?
Assistants haven't always been held in such high esteem but here's a short list
Tippy Dye was Owen's enforcer. I don't think they did much coaching but Tippy always struck me as a cool name
Jim Mora not senior was James first DC. He became more famous for his NFL kick ass pressers but did seem highly regarded at the time.
Gilby with the O line is tops in my book but this Lake character is growing on me.
Does Lambright lose the opportunity as the all-time greatest assistant because of the poor HC job?
He played at UW, coached for Owens, was hired by James, his James-era Ds were the backbone of the team, and he set the table for the 2000 Rose Bowl Team.
