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

Lake can still save this. On-field 2021 result is his ticket

Massive AD incompetence and internal drama notwithstanding, the team is pretty loaded and set to run a train on this shitpile of a G5 conference. No excuses.

    Yeah, if Jimmy can coach it will be evident this year. Imagine running off Kwat then winning 8 games in 2021...

    What's there to imagine? After today, I'd put the O/U of 2021 wins at 5 ( x 1.6). I'm not sure if you intend 8-5 as an epic failure, considering that was St Pete's final record.

    The UW defense I've liked the most the past 7 years was our 2018 one Jimmy coordinated that had to overcome absolutely unacceptable offense. Pete the fucking legend couldn't even muster 6 points vs lesser talent.

    Maybe Jimmy has been managing too much as a first time HC because he sees giving up 21 in a half to Utah and 24 in a half to Stanford (not to mention the 2nd halves against OSU/UA) as deserving concerns for any DC. Our defense looked broken against non spread teams.

    Maybe our assistants are too complacent because our AD as a whole is. No one has done shit in 2 seasons and 2018 every single loss was avoidable.

    LIPO the until the first game at least.

    Yeah 8-5 would be an epic failure. Considering the schedule and multiple recruiting wins it took to assemble the 2021 roster.

    Gregory promoted to Co-DC and John Timu promoted to LB coach! Cook it! Why find talent elsewhere when we can find guys that say YES right in our own program?

    That said, I agree that the defense was slightly above average at best the last two years and I’m personally sick of watching teams like Stanford and Colorado truck out defense down the field. If Lake can poach a coach from another P5 program or pull someone like GA from the NFL then maybe I can get behind this a little more. This 21 team talent wise should be no worse than 10-2. Lest we forget the players that opted to come back for senior seasons. These guys feel optimism for next year and really feel like UW can win the P12. Anything less and I’ll panic and scream TPIO! As for now I have brow furrowed worry and I’ll let our more than likely disappointing DC hire play out.
