Agreed. He’s been saying and doing all the right things so far aside from hiring someone no one wanted. But maybe he knows something everyone else doesn’t.RoadDawg55 said:
Jimmy so far is being more of a figurehead, which is commonly the best way to be a head coach. Leave almost all the X’s and O’s to the coordinators. Hire guys you trust there and be very involved with recruiting so that you get your top targets and have the talent to win.NEsnake12 said:Where’s the 5th category for defensive coaches who hire unproven OC’s?
My favorite thing Lake has done is let Kwat call the D. Kwat was better at it anyways and front to back coaching on defense is better than the opposite.
Bringing back the spring game is a great thing for the fans to let people be excited about the team.
He will discuss defensive game plans with Kwat because it’s what he’s always done even as a DB coach, but letting Kwat have the reigns back to call the games is huge for in game adjustments.
He’s also said all the right things about the offense in regards to the mentality and approach. Aggressive, physical, vertical. It’s all the things UW offense hasn’t been under Pete.
It sounds like his main focus will be on being a figurehead who lets his guys control their jobs while he focuses on promoting the program, recruiting, and getting the best talent on the field to compete. It’s what his DB room has been and it’s been the best unit on the team for the last 6 years.
Hopefully Donovan did learn from his time in the NFL, and Jimmy isn’t overthinking and trying to outsmart the room with his hubris. But that’s also what makes Jimmy who he is and why we love him. He is creative and talks shit but backs it up.
Donovan impressed him with the X’s and O’s which makes me think it’ll be a power run team with play action over the top which will protect Jimmy’s defense and keep the play count and ball control in UW’s favor. He’s leaning into the strength of the team. -
You're right. Roadie is a hypocrite for judging another hire when he hired our new OC.FireCohen said:
