Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Would USC have hired Lake away from Pete this year to be head coach

No.... but Jimmy Lake is good enough for UW. What am I missing, or maybe I’m just worn down from the expectations of Husky football and failure to deliver. I just don’t see where Jimmy has proven anything or shown that’s he’s capable of production as a head coach. If Pete turned over more things to him this season, well...

    No USC knows they need a big name coach. Someone that will give an instant boost to recruiting.

    Coaching is overrated. Out of Ohio State, Clemson, Bama and LSU. OSU and Clemson may be the teams that actual coach. Bama just inserts the next 5 Star and LSU does as well. I remember Saban as a HC his last two teams. He good ...he wasn’t magical.

    Lake’s success will come down to recruiting. He needs to win for the guys with size and speed.

    99/100 takes on here in the last day have been shit as fuck.

    What kind of takes can you expect after a 7-5 season? The Dawgs didn’t have the horses or attitude to win big this year. Pete took some rib shots and realized he needed a standing 8 count.

    Ok Jimmy ...what’s your plan?

    USC and UW don't really go after the same coaches. Never have.

    While James came here from Kent State SC was promoting J Robinson to follow McKay. Then a head coach at Arizona Larry Smith. Some NFL coordinator types. Another former head coach Paul Hackett. Then got lucky with Carroll as a 4th choice

    There record doesn't exactly scream being better than our shitty record of hiring coaches.

    USC would have hired Petersen if they could go back. They probably don't know who Lake is.

    Nor should they. He sucks
