    100% bullshit. Names are always leaked during the interview process as agents try to get their guys free pub.
    Jimmy also said "money was no object" in making the right hire. If that's the case, then why has Jen Cohen been sending out letters to donators pleading with them to save athletics at UW?

    When I saw Jimmy being interviewed after the Utah win, I felt invigorated by the happiness and passion of the moment.

    But I see shit like this and I think he's a bullshit artist.
    How many coaches AREN'T bullshit artists? Chris P, maybe.

    You're making excuses

    Not only did we promote the shit LB coach to DC, we promoted the "defensive quality control" guy to DL coach.

    No creativity. No effort. NOGAF.

    Cato has looked like a pretty damn good internal promotion from quality control. LIPO.
    He looks okay though I'd say the jury is still out.

    Jimmy has made four staff hires since he's been HC (and multiple moves within the staff.

    Jon Donovan
    Terrence Brown
    Two internal quality control coaches

    That could not be a more depressing list.
    If there was a trial between the group for and against Jimmy Lake and how things are going, All the defense has to stand up and present is these 4 names and case closed.

    I get Lake's rolodex is limited but UW is still a have program in the P5.

    Jimmy was on Softy's show last night and spit out even more bullshit about BG
    -When asked what BG's best quality was, he hesitated and then threw out this gem - "His best quality is his ability to connect with his players"
    -When asked about some established players he's recruited he came up with BBK and......DJ Beavers, who played maybe 20 games in his UW career
    -Claims all the former players love BG and that guys like Shaq even come back to Seattle just to visit him. As of right now, no former or current player has tweeted anything resembling an endorsement of Gregory

    The biggest concern I have is his rationale for keeping the changes internal. He says he doesn't want to bring in an outside who will throw their defensive scheme in the garbage and start from scratch. Fuck off, no one was asking for that. But it's possible to bring someone in with a fresh perspective who can iterate and improve on what's already here. Jimmy is just too fucking arrogant to accept help and despite what PK said in his interviews, I'm certain Jimmy's ego played a part in his decision to leave.

    I'm officially team #FireJimmy

    No no no... @FireCohen her fault that guy is the HC

    Not sure why you’re so confident players don’t like Gregory. Focus on the coaching and actual results. There are valid criticisms there. Focusing on whether former players are tweeting about Gregory is FS. I don’t think Lake is making it up that former players like him.
