Quooks... is this how a good program is run?
What I'm referring to in my question is a statement from the doogman days made by one of the quook posters there when mustache Mike stepped down and Kelly was announced. A duck poster made a statement something like..."this is how a good football program is run". There was a lot more inflammatory language involved. It was the dm.com free board after all.
I argued the point, mocked the poster and the ducks, and predicted doom for them. They came out and got embarrassed by Boise in the first game with Bellotti still lurking on the sideline. I took it as validation and was relieved.
We all know what happened. It was a great move by a well run program. Oregon went on a historic run. No natties but still an awesome run. UW couldn't even force a low, B level effort out of the ducks in the annual ass kicking.
So long story long...this situation might bear some resemblance to that one and I wonder if anyone is willing to acknowledge that. Lake's resume is really good. He's well regarded as a football mind, a leader, and a recruiter. He was being groomed for this position. He's as good of a replacement as there is available on paper, short of snagging someone like Meyer who has already proven everything. Time will tell if works out, but I think this is how it's supposed to be done. No?

Only difference is that Chip set the world on fire as OC, and Lake hasn't moved the needle to a remotely similar degree.
The short answer is yes, the coach in waiting handoff is a good model. But for every Chip, there is also a Helfrich. -

Chip also had a system that changed the sport which was covered under setting the world on fire but still.
Lake is a better recruiter because Chip hated it -
Yeah totally. You guys just hired the next Chip Kelly because this one other time it happened at some other school under completely different circumstances.chuck said:No mockery intended for a change even though I wrote quooks. That's tongue in cheek.

Congratulations. You’re about to embark on about 5 straight seasons of 11+ wins and winning NY6 bowls just for the fun of it.
Because that’s what oregon did this one time.

These are two different issues being discussed now. I admittedly can’t keep up with all the goal post moving around here.RaceBannon said:

I’ve never been able to, to be quite frank.
I don’t think this is a terrible hire. I don’t know. I knew this is who UW was going to pick, though. I just know that everything any of you have used as adjectives to describe someone as a Sark like looser you applied to Mr Lake as strengths.
And we can’t just let the purple car slide, can we?
We should at the very least baptize this guy as Sark until he isn’t. Because thats how he introduced himself to the world and would have been the first post made on the other board Had Big Mario jumped in a green batmobile 5 seconds after being hired by Oregon.
Sounds like I care.
I really don’t.
Hope he sucks though, obviously.

All I knew about Sark was USC under Carroll. Unlike Damone I thought it could work even for a couple of years. Some guys hated it right away.
All I know about Lake is that he can stock teen boys according to our stockers. That seems important these days and was also given as a strength for Mario. Which it appears to be
Until we get on the field and see what he can do its all swagger and glitz anyway. And like Sark, Lake has that
As I posted elsewhere it's a low bar on gameday as Petersen was a MAJOR disappointment between the chalk lines.

You asked so here is my opinion. I never liked Peterson and he coached at both my Alma Maters. He is a decent coach. He fell into a Boise State program that Pokey Allen built. IMO he couldn’t compete with Cristobal on the field or in recruiting. Washington fans always have lofty goals which is good, you should. Sometimes they were a little unrealistic. Peterson was always going to come up short IMO. Rewatch the last two minutes and OT of the loss at Autzen stadium. Perterson blew it. He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. I don’t know much about Lake except for a few articles I have read. He might be an upgrade. Not that it is a game changer but he has no head coaching experience. Some coaches have risen to the top given these circumstances some have sunk to the bottom.
He will have to hit the ground running and save his recruiting class. Next years schedule for Washington will be rough and IMO Oregon has a chance to be better next year. -
I didn't predict or even imply anything like that junior. It's really a simple question: was it a good move? I think it was. That's all I said.MikeSeaver said:

You should try educk or dawgman where your simple approach to reading and reacting comes closer to hitting the mark.
