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

What kind of snake oil bullshit did Donovan sell Lake into thinking he was a worthy hire?

    It's funny reading everybody say that he sucks without really knowing anything about the guy other than some SP+ stats

    He's been an OC for 5 years and never had an offense get ranked above 60th in the country.

    We fired Hamdan after finishing 41st in the country.
    Right ...

    Because Hamdan's talent at hand at UW was comparable to Vandy and Penn St coming off sanctions

    Great analysis
    ok teq my eyes and mind are open

    let's hear it
    Dig deeper.
    And then ask yourself why...

    LIPO is a position of weakness.

    We’re mere simpletons. We’ll patiently await your breathtakingly thorough, peer reviewed numbers crunch and prepare to be humbled.
    I'm just saying that nobody really knows anything about this guy ...

    Everything is coming from the perspective of:

    1) He was fired from Penn St and has been an offensive analyst in the NFL since then

    2) SP+ stats

    3) Comparative to Moorhead ... which I'm not entirely sure anybody's looked that deep at that

    4) Twitter folk have been vocal against the hire

    5) Nobody had heard of him prior to the hire

    I've started looking into the numbers ... some of it feeds into some of the criticisms ... some of it isn't as bad as some are making it out to be.

    Ultimately, nobody knows jack shit until we get to September.
    If we are lighting up teams in September everyone will be happy. What we aren’t happy about it hiring a retread with a shitty past that has been wallowing in obscurity.

    All candidates had a red flag or two. This guy has the most and has had the least success. Those are facts.

    No OC has done shit for us until September. Almost any OC would be better on paper than this guy. You think you’re making a point and you’re really not.
    To wit, this turd had the ultimate red flag in that he wasn't and shouldn't have been considered a candidate in the first place. One of your QC guys loves him and recommended him? Holy hell that's pathetic.

    I'm planting my flag on Derhan being good, though. I bet he's smart as shit.

    The one redeeming quality I can think of is that Donovan seems to really want to get his best players the ball. Maybe Jimmy has PTSD like all of us? from watching Opera and Fuller getting force fed that he reflexively picked the guy who promised to throw at Nacua and Spiker until their hands fall off.

    What does that have to do with anything? That was a Pete issue. It’s not an issue for a new OC.
