but he did get paid nicely by Florida, so if Jimmy Lake is so shallow (see what I did there?) that he's only about the money then he gone.RaceBannon said:

and the thing is, Muschamp was the heir apparent to Mack Brown at Texas until he got tired of waiting.DerekJohnson said:

Already said Smart, and I think Tennessee is a good enough job that it would count. Certainly better than Colorado. Dabo was promoted from within, so doesn't count.Dennis_DeYoung said:H

They aren’t true blue bloods, but those are the kind of tier 1B jobs that Jimmy might be able to land.
So of the 18 or so programs that I would count in a (broadly defined) tier 1 (allowing for places such as Tenn, A&M, UW), I think there are exactly two schools with a HC that came straight from a coordinator job at another school to take over.
I think ADs generally learned from the brief Will Muschamp phase we seemed to go through a few years ago when hot coordinators were snapped up for top jobs. -
Yeah yeah yeah. I read your message all the way through after I posted. Stoops still fits.RealRhino said:

That’s after he flames out at Florida. He took over Florida after Urbany Meyer. That was a tier one job at the time.RealRhino said:
Coaches at South Carolina. Not blue blood. Barely tier three. Doesn't count.DerekJohnson said:

Muschamp was also the DC that started the act like a fucking maniac retard on the sidelines DC craze instead of calmly assessing the game from the booth

I dooged out in 2009 and 2010 when Nick Holt would be screaming at the defense.RaceBannon said:Muschamp was also the DC that started the act like a fucking maniac retard on the sidelines DC craze instead of calmly assessing the game from the booth

Joke's on you, we'd be better off without Jimmy Lake!BuffBuffPass said:Just FYI, the fan base generally seems to prefer Day. I like both of them, but give the edge to Lake to fuck you guys over.

Are we all forgetting @Tequilla's #FireJimmyLake campaign of 2017???huskyhooligan said:Lake has more job security here. I mean McIntyre literally signed a 3 year extension a year ago and bam, he gone. I know I'm dooging, but job security is a big deal for a lot of coaches (unless of course you are in Pullman, FCS job).

Also our former DC Pete Kwiatkowski, who was the best DC in the conference, stepped down from play calling duties and gave his job to Jimmy Lake to keep him on staff and took a pay cut by doing so. You never see something like that happening elsewhere. Our coaches are different. Very low ego and money doesn't rule their decision making.Pitchfork51 said:Ballz has fucking lost it.

Not wrongRoadDawg55 said:It seems to me that Colorado has a loser administration, kind of like UW.
It’s a good job though. Some of you are delusional if you think Lake is going to get an amazing head coaching job right way.
You get that type of job from getting the head job at a place like Colorado and winning there.
There are outliers like Kirby Smart (Georgia alum) and Muschamp, but it doesn’t happen often. -
You mean UW a year from nowBaseman said:The more Lakes name is floated for HC openings, the higher his market value. If UW closes well on this recruiting class, and with the program leveling up J Lake’s market goes ever higher.
Colorado today. SC a year from now. -
