    I thought he quit because he sucked?

    He could have made a lot more money had he kept playing. Somebody is always going to give the big kid with the big arm a chance.

    Football coaches are stupid.

    There is no way he would have quit if he was playing well for a winning team. He can say whatever he wants, but he got burnt out over being a disappointment for a shit team.
    This is supposition.

    He already had plenty enough for Ferndale

    Don't hate the guy because I don't know hi but he didn't love football. He's like the 7 foot guy that has to play basketball whether he loves it or not.

    Jake is a superior athlete especially in a small town and at a shit program like UW was. But he never burned with desire to compete and win and he never loved the game

    Look, he made big bucks doing it as long as he could stand it and got out. I don't have a problem with that but wouldn't waste more than this post on it let alone a big story

    He could have got Ty fired and didn't

    You must not have been there. The number one reason to keep Ty was because Jake wanted to play for him

    #2 was the best recruiting class n history according to Mitzi and Emmert's two inches of thunder

    Neither dumb nor unfair

    Of course Lockner never had any leadership skills either so why would he give a shit playing for a tin horn dictator shitty coach. He got paid we got Owen12
