    No she made the right decision, just have to hope it works. If she did a coaching search and hired someone else the 2020 recruiting class falls apart and the dream 2021 class is over. Then add in the younger talent we have accumulated the last two years adjusting to a new coaching staff and scheme and some of them would undoubtably transfer. Plus if you look at the candidates out there for a HC position they aren't very appealing at all. She did her job now jimmy has to do his.

    Isn't the dream 2021 class over now?

    Depends who was hired for the 2021 class. We’ve seen it from Ty and Romar before. Making decisions based on recruiting does not pan out.

    No but it gives us the best shot to win. Unless she hired Urban, the 2021 would be over because recruiting is so fast paced, the new coach would have no chance to build a relationship with the recruits. Plus if we made a coaching change our money would be so depleted that we wouldn't have a chance to upgrade. She made the right move.

    No, recruiting is fine. The OC hiring will have no effects on recruiting.

    I hope this is correct.

    We need to get as many of these kids locked up before the season starts as possible.

    If this move works out jimmy is truly a genius. If it doesn’t, this is program suicide. No not 0-12 but a return to winning 6-8 games a year.

    It’s also inexcusable that they are paying him more than bush and put him on a 3 year contract. The lack of negotiation skills is truly appalling.

    Where is all the unused money from the coaching budget going?

    The mistake is thinking that recruiting is all about relationships. It certainly matters a lot. However, Huard was coming to UW almost no matter what. He would give any coach a real chance at securing his commitment. Him alone will get guys intrigued by UW.

    Some guys will stay home if you recruit them hard because their parents prefer that. Some kids simply want the easiest path to playing time combined with the the best school football wise that has offered them.

    Yes, certain players would not come to UW if we hired another coach. However, others would. And then you also are hiring assistants from other schools that have relationships of their own with these prospects. The class wouldn’t look the exact same, but we don’t even know what it will look like now.

    It’s not a zero sum game. Hiring Lake was not the only way we could have a monster 2021 class.

    Most of the recruits will have decided before the season even begins.
