I have yet to understand what personnel decisions have Pete or Jimmy made in the past 18 months that give so many people the confidence that Timu and Ford were brought on to be future replacements for KB & Gregory. If they did have that level of foresight and it’s only been due to the AD that they haven’t been able to act on it, where has that foresight been in regards to recruiting practices or playing time decisions or other coaching hires (Cato, Donovan, Brown)?NEsnake12 said:Let me play devil’s advocate here:
Thomas Ford is on the UW coaching staff and is probably an assistant in waiting to replace KB, who is only still here because Jen wouldn’t approve the buyouts.
UW’s relationship with FSP isn’t any different. They’re hyping up their guy who committed to a big name school. They aren’t going to be pushing kids away from UW
I’d love to believe that Jimmy has these two guys ready to take over, but I don’t see the evidence anywhere to support that level of confidence.
Also if we’re sure these guys are going to be so valuable in turning these positions around in the future, what stops an Oregon or USC from hiring them off your staff before you can even make the change?

Said simpler for you idiots ...
We have basically a very green sales staff and we’re sending them out to compete against the best of the best sales teams -
What it says is the UW coaching staff for the most part doesn't belong in the positions they are in. Jimmy fucked up and is in way over his head. If this class is salvaged it will be a miracle

The problem is that Jimmy probably believed his own bullshit and the bullshit of his "PJ Jimmy" fanbase.
He thought he could be Chris Petersen plus some charisma. But his charisma, and "vision" of hiring some dipshit who was an Asst RB coach in the NFL, is nothing compared to the brand the CP was.
He might be one of those shallow "positive thinkers" who have no plan for when shit doesn't go as expected.
He probably believed that by the sheer force of his own personality he could bring in Emeka, JTT, and Franklin.

What should have been an easy layup has turned into a huge mistake that will derail this class and this staff. I don't give a damn if Simon is overrated, you don't pass on a homegrown kid who has talent and ties to others. You get him in the program and see where he fits. Just a monstrous fuck up by this staff.

The stuff from Oregon people, people I pay apparently, about USC: unless Clay Helton has a top-15 year he’s gone and their class will implode. Lots of guys are soft commits, wanting to take visits and are far from locks.
No USC commit should be considered a done deal yet. -
Those Oregon people do not know shit. I probably pay for the same stuff you do. Just wishful thinking by Oregon when they are getting spanked by USC in recruiting this year along with Washington.RatherBeBrewing said:The stuff from Oregon people, people I pay apparently, about USC: unless Clay Helton has a top-15 year he’s gone and their class will implode.
