After growing up quite literally my entire life with Jim Owens as head coach and hearing for years how he needed to be fired when he actually stepped down after 1974 I was like - so now what? He's the Huskies. Are we sure we want him gone?
We did -
I'm glad you brought up that first point. Built For Life is the reason, in many cases, UW was able to attract highly recruited players without wallowing in the mud to the extent otherwise necessary. Not only that, it's actually good for the players. There is zero downside to it. It's a positive for recruiting, it's a positive for the players' lives.RaceBannon said:2 things
Built for life isn't OKG and is actually an effective recruiting tool
If we keep the refuse assistants then the iron law remains unchanged. Its the head coach
There were guys that looked like great assistants under James who never did shit after they left him
So hope for the converse - Jimmy gets all over their ass and makes them perform. I don't think Pete was doing this
I think the whole OKG controversy is a tempest in a teacup, personally, but at least there's a legitimate argument to be made there. Let's not conflate the two. -
Petersen looked like a beat-down man who was tired, yes, but also sad that he didn't get to enjoy the highest level of success. Him talking about not getting to enjoy the Rose Bowl was kinda depressing.

Bigly. OKG is nothing more than slogan & boilerplate.1to392831weretaken said:

I don’t like the X’s and O’s talk from Lake. Minor complaint because I know he’s a passionate guy, but we had a big strategy guy already with Pete. Of course it’s important but toughness and attitude should needs to come first. That’s where we are lacking right now. There are a lot of good schemes and they all look good on the white board.

This was the first answer anyone gave that really jumped off the page for me. Basically saying Pete doesn’t have a passion for football strategy... certainly checks out after watching our offense barf all over itself for 6 years with no real changes.doogville said:Jimmy: "what's going to change is that i'm passionate about football strategy. that's what excites me. i want to be aggressive, and bleed that aggressiveness into all three phases."
that is some cold blooded shit to say. i love it.
Hopefully this means Lake will foreclose Hamdan’s couch and start fresh.
I still found it a little of an odd comment (very cold blooded) given the mood of the room.
Overall 7/10 on the kickass presser! scale. -
I'd suspect that comment was rehearsed ahead of tim.Miley_Cyrus said:

This is the sign of a successful leader. Not saying he is just saying that hyper competitive people that make everything a competition tend to bring along highly competitive players with themDoogCourics said: -
By "competitive" I hope he means less bubble screens, lateral runs, slow-developing RPO plays, and 3rd down passes 2 yards short of the sticks.
I hope "competitive" means attacking opposing defenses, instead of trying to deceive, trick, or run away from them. That part of Pete's Offense will not be missed.
-
The comment about competition is good, but Lake was guilty of it himself with Cam Williams.

I disagree with you on this point because after seeing what Jimmy did in the Apple Cup last year when he put zero fucking d-lineman up front and confused the fuck out of Wazzu on that 3rd and 6 or whatever it was... that was fucking crazy. I think that's what he means vis-a-vis a strategy on page 17 of that big book of decision trees.RoadDawg55 said:I don’t like the X’s and O’s talk from Lake.

Super depressing
It was like watching your dad give up on your family. You want him happy but you also don’t want him to leave.
Lakes comment on spreading his attitude to offense and special teams seemed pretty damning for Gregory and Hamdan -

Made me realize I'm going to be jealous if he ends up coaching at another school. I hope he stays retired.LoneStarDawg said:Super depressing

So far Darrell Royal and Sark remain the only two head coaches to move to another school. Worked out great for Texas with Royal and Sark worked out great for us by leaving.UWhuskytskeet said:

I think Pete is done and if he isn't it wasn't going to work here anyway
When my dad left I slammed the door behind him. I said we want a Michigan dad to be the dad of this Michigan family. Not an ASU dad -

I just don’t want it to get to a point where our whole MO is too outscheme and outsmart the other team. That said, some halftime adjustments would be nice.Meek said:

Pursuit, tackle, cover on defense. Block, run, catch on offense. Schemes change all the time, but the game remains the same. -
Mostly I just want Jimmy (ILTCHJ) focusing on being a Headcoach and recruiting... Kwat is fully capable of developing the Xs and Os scheme stuff on defense and Jimmy needs to hire a self sufficient OC.RoadDawg55 said:

If Jimmy tries to hang on to the DC stuff AND do all the bullshit that a headcoach has to do its much more likely to end up a disaster. -
