Jimmy Lake
Then recruiting came and it went like I expected which is why I started saying I was concerned about recruiting in April when all the so-called recruiting insiders kept making excuses and kept saying let it play out. All the holes I thought they had with this recruiting staff showed up and what was most disconcerting was the lack of a plan with recruiting. We missed on almost every DB, got dominated by Oregon, and struggled to recruit instate. But I thought, hey maybe the product on the field will be good enough to mask those flaws but nope. The offense ran tonight isn't a pro-style offense because no team in the NFL is dumb enough to run this. This offensive style is outdated and easy to defend. Stacking the box, running the same play over and over, not stretching the field might work against Oregon State but it won't work again for the good teams. I thought Jimmy could compete with Mario and Oregon but I was wrong. Even if he did have an epiphany and realize his mistakes, the budget wouldn't allow him to fix it but sadly I don't think he realizes his mistakes. What I saw tonight is a coach who will be competing with Stanford for third place. Hopefully, I'm wrong and overreacting but sadly I feel we are back in the 7-8 win level like under Steve Sarkisian while Oregon is back to competing for Championships under Mario as they did with Chip Kelly.

He sucks, good call

I 100% agree with all of this ...
If you want to get triggered listen to Jimmy talk about how he handled the end of game decision around whether to kick the FG or not ...
Jimmy has a lot of false bravado where he acts like he knows more than he does ... he's clearly smart but he thinks he's the smartest person in the room and it's often a fatal trait
I'll cut a little slack on the game planning given that we arguably don't have a QB ... but I'm having a hard time seeing a scenario where Lake doesn't basically turn into a return to the Sark years where we're decent but lose some games that we should win and just in general miss in areas where we shouldn't miss. -
We have an egomaniac as our HC
-
It's been obvious to anyone who's been paying attention this year that Jimmy is in way over his head. His OC hire and the decision to retain Bob Gregory will go down as the most colossal fuck-ups... but what will ultimately get Jimmy fired is his arrogance. He's not half the fucking coach he thinks he is.
-
Other than the Win, the red flags from personnel, to recruiting, to on-field play, to play calling, to coaching decisions are extremely troubling. This was Oregon State. Cal, Oregon, Stanford will plug box and force us to complete a pass. WSU's Qb will be a bitch to handle in 2 weeks. He can run and throw it. Beavs qb couldn't.

Lot of lifpo that needs to happen
-

Well said, all on point. No aggressiveness. Their play on the field show the obvious lack of judgement w hiring his staff. Watch the tape: JohnDon’s offensive scheme is simpler and more predictable than most Metro HS offenses. Not good.
-
To me watching this game as an outsider... seing a few penalties were killers, letting the clock expire on a 4th and 5..
Criminal... you got lucky in a great punt after that, but still.... that can't happen. -
Maybe Lake just kept it close to the vest to not put our real offense on tape before we need to. Ever thing of that, guys?!
There are people out there who actually believe that, I'm sure. -
now more than even @FireCohen
-
False bravado wears on people and they will want to replace you in 4 years...
But yeah, I’ve been saying this since he was hired. I like swag, I like confidence, but Jimmy’s decision making isn’t indicating either of those things. The opposite in fact.
-
My only hope with Jimmy is that we all laughed at Oregon after Chipsters first gayme. Scoring 8 points and loosing to Pete on the Blue Turf. LOLOL imagine losing to Pete.
Then he ran a train on the conference for 4 years. -
That would be sweet. But no. The program is headed in a bad direction.whlinder said:My only hope with Jimmy is that we all laughed at Oregon after Chipsters first gayme. Scoring 8 points and loosing to Pete on the Blue Turf. LOLOL imagine losing to Pete.

Last nights game looked like a bunch of other games we had during the Pete era, especially openers. This looked exactly like the Cal games, the ASU game,, the Rutgers BSU,and Hawaii openers, and especially the Zona game where that little qb and RB gashed us for like 300
The question is... will Jimmy say "I'm glad we won but we have a ton of shit to clean up so we start working on that tomorrow." or does he say, "well, we won the game and thats the goal so we'll just keep plugging along. This season doesn't really count anyways."
If he takes the first route, then Jackson Sirmon, Ty Jones, and Josiah Bronson's positions should immediately be open competition, this JV taking turns at RB thing needs to be nixed, and they need to start figuring out the pass game. You can beat Oregon State by runningbthe ball 55 times but not many other teams. I do think a part of yesterday's offensive plan was due to them thinking Thomson was going to be the starter and then having to switch to someone else right before, at least I'm hopeful that was the case. -

What I'm telling myself to try and feel a little bit better is a couple plays here or there for us and this game is more like 35-14. Hopefully shit gets worked out.
This year is all practice and Huard 3.0 is on his way -
Or, we lose if the Pac-12 refs don't shaft OSU with a shitty spot on 4th and inches from the UW 5. It was as close to a loss as it was to a 35-14 game.BeerThirty said:What I'm telling myself to try and feel a little bit better is a couple plays here or there for us and this game is more like 35-14.

I agree that Lake has a lot of arrogance that could be his downfall. But the one thing he’s been willing to do is pull players when they aren’t getting it done. Last year Cam was replaced by Asa and Kyler was replaced by McDuffie after the first 2 or 3 games.bananasnblondes said:Last nights game looked like a bunch of other games we had during the Pete era, especially openers.

So I’m holding hope he will be willing to objectively look at Sirmon and Jones and do the needful.
As for the DL, Tuli and Latu being hurt really made Taki and Bronson play a lot. Not sure if they were trying to protect the freshman, but you need to get Bandes and Tuitele and Ngalu in there.
Lastly, in concur that I think Thomson was supposed to be the starter and then his injury made it between Morris and Sirmon. And Lake after the game mentioned Morris won’t make the mistakes to hurt the team. I think the game plan was to manage the game and don’t make mistakes in a freshman’s first game. Sirmon has all the tools but he must have been making a lot of bad decisions in camp for him not to get a shot. -
First games are often mirages. Last year I thought Eason was going to big dick the nation after throwing the first on target bomb since the 1990s...
Week two will tell you much more.
Also, it's about talent. They weren 't giving Cam Davis touches in crunch time instead they went with Newton (who I'm pretty much over) but in the future they will refine the RB rotation and that is the obvious strength of the program.
Myles didn't get cooking until the USC game his freshman year and after that he was POY every year.
The front 7 sucks worse than anything on offense. -

UW's first scoring drive was after getting bailed out with a bogus PI call on an uncatchable ball to Nacua. UW's third touchdown came after Nacua failed to control a red zone pass, dropped it, picked it back up, and it was incorrectly called a fumble instead of an incomplete pass. Later, OSU was denied a TD on two straight ridiculously bad spots. Not a single bad call went for OSU.spuden said:

That's between a 14 and 21 point swing in a six point game. The narrative playing out in my head is that the Huskies lost the game but got bailed out. There's nothing hopeful about that. -
We all bitched about all the motion and overcomplicated bullshit of Petes offense and not playing young talent now we are running a simple offensive scheme and running the ball 5,000 tims and everyone is bitching...wtf....We needed to put more wrinkles in it last night(play action, WTE, etc..)
DLine needs Latu and to nut up..that's it....LIFPO

Being simple is fine if you’re use a fucking modern offense but sitting in I-Formation running FB dives to a walk-on is FSdannarc said:We all bitched about all the motion and overcomplicated bullshit of Petes offense and not playing young talent now we are running a simple offensive scheme and running the ball 5,000 tims and everyone is bitching...wtf....We needed to put more wrinkles in it last night(play action, WTE, etc..)

Not to nitpick but the delay of game called on us after the refs screwed OSU on the fourth down spot was not a delay of game. That was a horrible call and they blew the whistle early - which helped Oregon State.1to392831weretaken said:BeerThirty said:What I'm telling myself to try and feel a little bit better is a couple plays here or there for us and this game is more like 35-14.

Also, we spot Oregon State ten points off the bat with the world’s worst long snapper and missed chip shot FG. Can’t cherrypick bad luck only for one team without also considering how it went the other way. -
4th and 6 from OSU 40? Go for it! Not impressed with Lake. I hope he gets his shit together. I'm worried that Jimmy's biggest fan is Jimmy.
-
Bad snaps, missed field goals, dropped passes were mistakes made by people wearing purple jerseys. That's not luck, that's talent. "If our players didn't make mistakes, we'd win" is shallow. Gifts from the wefs, on the other hand, are out of either team's control and therefore unfairly impact an outcome.DoogDawg said:
