    Love that we are going with the “well they haven’t signed yet….let’s talk in December” thing again. We are supposed to buy the “year of the flip” crap again? How did that work out last year.

    We are crap salesman. That’s the deal right now. And we can’t hold Harris accountable despite him being a full time assistant with recruiting responsibilities because he is only now the “LEAD DBs coach?” Horseshit. Ask Alabama or Ohio state or Oklahoma or Our friends at Oregon if it’s okay if an assistant coach cant recruit but “it’s only year 5 in the program”. UO dumps them if they can’t pull. Mario works harder at recruiting than anyone else on his staff, but Jimmy’s above all that now

    Wake me when our school takes this shit seriously. Otherwise we are looking at a bunch of 7-5, 8-4 seasons once the 19 and 20 classes move on

    Yep.

    Jimmy's going to do really well this season and people will rush to crown him.

    This won't end well.

    Jimmy doing better with Petersen recruits than Petersen did is a positive in my book

    Comical how bad our DB recruiting is

    I'm hearing that it doesn't really matter because Jimmy is going to be active in the transfer portal.

    Also, we have no way of knowing if Morrison was higher up on Harris's list than the guys he hasn't offered yet.
    Given how bad they are at HS recruiting, the portal is really a requirement to get good talent

    Really interested at seeing how this plays out in 2-3 years

    It would be horrible to win this year knowing that we lost some recruit

    The Rick Neuheisel route. Nice.

    He is? A 3-1 home record against dreck competition?

    Or was this a hypothetical?

    Come on Jimmy! It’s not that difficult. Just look at the programs that are beating you for the best recruits and mimic it. Get some salesmen on staff. Your job is to coach the coaches once you get them.

    One golden rule of Husky football coaches, if @Dennis_DeYoung and @CokeGreaterThanPepsi like the coach that means that coach sucks
    To be fair, they also called him out real early.

    It was a response to the horror of Jimmy doing great this year

    Petersen was 8 and 5 year 6

    Great recruiting though. Allegedly.

    The only shot UW has is doing great this year. They quit last year hence the 3 and 1 record

    That stink has to be removed. I wouldn't sign here today.

    That's what I meant by hypothetical if that wasn't clear. It wasn't a sarcastic or loaded question I just worded it more for typing economy than clarity.

    Jimmy may win with the very good roster he inherited (and helped build). I dont know if that will save him long term though. I think you still have to pull in prospects that the good programs want. The portal can only supplement, not replace, recruiting.

    I agree he has to recruit. And use the portal. And win.

    I just understand why we might lose guys to playoff teams last year while we were wishing good luck to the ducks

    Political guys would call it reframing the narrative.

    Win big. Beat Cristobal. Profit

    We'll have to deal with the recruiting holes when we do

    It’s really the giant red flag elephant in the room thing with Jimmy

    Early success is just going to have him double down more on his smartest person in the room mindset that is going on in the football offices right now

    Maybe he is and you have to hope that that’s true

    But there’s really no way around saying that him and his staff are getting their shit pushed in on the recruiting trail

    Dawgman mods right now: Will Harris helped JL land McDuffie, Gordon, and Julius Irvin

    Also Dawgman mods right now: Will Harris has only been the DB coach for 4 games. He needs more time!

    Line one reply: lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
    Line two reply: That sounds on point for doogman. The sheep will buy any excuse, doesn't matter what it is.

    If my employees aren’t closing business who do you think is getting questioned? If I don’t coach my reps up or out, whose ass do you think it is?

    This is 100% on Lake. If you want to blame Jen or upper academia as well I’m ok with that for creating a zero accountability work place that really doesn’t give two fucks.

    I wasn't downplaying Lake's involvement. Hiring and keeping these guys to this point is absolutely on Lake, (which I guess leads to the bad recruiting) but what I'm getting at is I'm interested how involved he is in the recruiting process now as the HC, especially with the DBs. The past couple years UW is middle of the pac12 in DB recruiting, which makes no sense given the recent track record sending DBs to the league and the promotion of Lake, the energetic young black guy who's a "defensive guru." DBs should wanna flock to UW.

    I will gladly blame the athletic department for their satisfaction with mediocrity as well.
