    Every single thing Jimmy has done as HC has been fucking terrible. His staff hires were an absolute flaming shit-wreck.

    His complete mismanagement and chincompetence in recruiting has been stunning. The total inability to read the situation and adjust on the fly is a massive read flag. As was his inability to put aside his loyalty to shitty coaches like Bob and Bonerpop and do what’s best for the program.

    He seems to have some toxic mix of arrogance and incompetence, and sounds like a fucking used car salesman when he tries to sell the program.

    Jimmy’s in way over his head. He is going to be Gilbertson Willingham kind of bad. Take yer screenshots.

    That's what I've been worried about. From the very first press conference where he awkwardly talked about his love of X's and O's and every ensuing interview since where he's described his offense as "attacking" and "aggressive", he doesn't inspire much confidence for his vision for the program At this point he's basically the defensive version of Sark.

    Yup. He’s giving off Sark and Taggart vibes...except they could recruit.

    I must have missed this over the turdtastic start to Jimmy's tenure, but do we know for a fact that he and the staff have been off the back on virtual visits?

    Jesus christ. Sark's recruiting was a fucking joke, as Petersen demonstrated in his first two classes. Each class had a couple of good players surrounded by filler and high Hope's dashed by non qualifiers. He also continually (even after he was gone) received doog credit for being "in on" elite guys that were obviously only listing UW among their favorites because UW begged them to.

    Lake could continue down the pathe he's on right now and still easily pull in better classes than Sark did.

    You can call him a beta all you want but he’s arguably the best defensive mind in CFB along with Venables.

    I don't disagree that he's a great defensive mind but that isn't going to save our program if Jimmy doesn't know what the fuck he's doing (which seems more and more likely).

    One of my fav “insider” stories was the one about how sark was so confident we were landing a player (I don’t even remember who it was, I think he went to UCLA) they had his page in the signing day press booklet. Then they had to go through and rip his page out when they didn’t get the NLI.

    It was so obviously a bullshit story sark and his boys put out to beat their chests and pretend they were in on an elite dude. But they also knew 100% Kim would gobble it up and push it out to the doogs who crave anything that confirms their belief that coaches are actually better than their record.

    I’m waiting on Jimmy to coach a couple games first. This is still sizzle. I’m starting to expect the worst, but everything gets fixed by winning.

    The problem is that there is so much talent on this team that this team could be very good if there is a season. We know for the most part that the coaches can coach (by and large).

    Problem is coach is just part of the job. The lack of recruiting is going to torpedo the program down the road ... that’s the major risk.

    Jimmy going 10-2 or 11-1 this year not only results on Jimmy doubling down on what he’s doing being the right approach but almost assuredly results in Jen extending the contract.

    Anything Jimmy does in 2020/2021 is riding the bow wave ... we don’t learn about Jimmy until 2022 at the earliest

    Helfrich made a title game, but his lack of recruiting ended him in year 4.
    I would take a shot at a championship in exchange for sucking ass two years later and being back on the coaching carousel.
