    This hire is worse than when Willingham became coach

    Phil Snow was the D Coordinator for UW in 2004. We hated him.

    Phil Snow was the D Coordinator at Baylor in 2019. Baylor fans love him. The fucking Panthers want him to be their D Coordinator in the NFL.

    Sometimes guys learn and improve over time.

    Not saying I love the hire... but hey, maybe the guy has learned a thing or 2 over his tenure and is ready to take it to Montlake.

    I did not hate Phil snow. Team had a lot of problems, he was not the problem.

    I didn't hate Phil Snow. He was one of the few bright spots from that team.

    Oh trust me, like any team that endures a 1-10 season... gripes about the D coordinator giving up 35 points a game against P5 opponents were all around. Cool you guys didn't take that stance... but he certainly wasn't a popular figure.

    Part of the reason they gave up points was because the offense was so putrid

    32.5, butt still, it was bad for sure.

    I liked Snow a lot when RN hired him and thought he did a pretty good job in 2003 besides the Cal game (we always lose to Cal!) all things considered.

    I couldn't even have told you he was the DC in 2004. I didn't care about anything but firing Gilby at that point.

    I remember the Oregon game the defense played their balls off and finally wilted. There a lot of pick sixes that year and our offense was a 3& out machine.

    Disagree. This is a fine LIPO hire. Not a slam dunk, not a red flag.
    Ok. As the day has gone on I'm updating this to a LIPO yellow flag.
    There isn’t another choice and hopefully it somehow works out but it’s worse than anyone expected. A position coach from the NFL would have been okay.

    We were just clowning the QB coach of the 49ers. This is a dud hire that if past results are anything, will be a huge failure.
    I don't disagree. Obviously upside means uncertainty (downside is the same uncertainty). There is uncertainty that he has grown in all the doogish ways people call out. The reason why I think this is LIPO is because there is a real (not a likely chance but a chance -insert dumb and dumber.gif) chance of this. He has the past experiences and context in the role to actually learn from those around him to have actually improved. Sure, odds are against this being the case and him being successful. Donovan would not have been in my top n-choices. I don't trust that Lake knows something we don't but I'm hoping he does. I am confident he thinks he knows something I don't.

    Low ceiling, low floor, zero upside

    Could have hired Rick Nueheisal and got sweet guitar solos on the sideline at least.

    I tried this 9 tims. Good luck.
    Yeah but you're Utah so there was no point in trying to begin with.

    I want NDSU's OC.

    That Maryland I-formation was a thing of beauty

    Offense looks creative but also concise & purposeful.
