Fuck off and LIPO. Jesus.

I'm pessimistic but trying to keep an open mind until the end of this season and the next recruiting cycle.

But we have a great offensive line and Roberts decommitting wasn't on Huff its on Jimmy
The shifting sands of teen stalking angst. -

On the field they should be good this year … anything in the 8-4 range sends the alarm bells into a full scale alert of the highest levels
It’s one thing to me if we got our targets and the stars weren’t where you’d like them
But we’re seeing significant numbers of decommits AND whiffing on many of our top targets (particularly some that should be layups
The biggest worry is likely to come when we see heavy attrition in the off-season … that has the chance to topple the house of cards Jimmy is presiding over -
These will be hilarious to bump when UW wins the conference this year

If I had a dollar for every LIPO post from PGOS I’d be a rich man.
Well, At least I’d be able to afford some cheap skinny hookers. -

I reuse to panic over the future until after the season -
I expect UW to do well this season. That's not the point. Rick in his second season won the Rose Bowl.ntxduck said:These will be hilarious to bump when UW wins the conference this year

We should be decent this year, but Jimmy will need to change if he hopes to have any future here.
If he doesn't overhaul the entire coaching and recruiting staff come December, then a world could exist... -
I agree with Teq in that if we go 8-4 this season with this easy schedule, that would be a red alertwhatshouldicareabout said:We should be decent this year, but Jimmy will need to change if he hopes to have any future here.

And that changes things how?ntxduck said:These will be hilarious to bump when UW wins the conference this year
If anything that further cements Jimmy and barring a massive change in his approach will just further prolong the likely change
I doubt Oregon trades that CFP appearance with Helf … you take success when you can get it
That said, it’s also important to know when to get off that sinking ship -
Like many, still holding out judgement until we get into this season, but serious question even though I know UW isn't serious enough about football to do it - do you think blowing things up at the end of the season is possible if things don't go well? If this season isn't a big success what is there to get excited about going forward other than a five-star QB who is a back up? A slow regression might actually be worse than just blowing things up early and at least generating some momentum.

Short of a scandal there is no record bad enough to get Jimmy fired after this year. We? all know that but what else is there to talk about?WoolleyDoog said:Like many, still holding out judgement until we get into this season, but serious question even though I know UW isn't serious enough about football to do it - do you think blowing things up at the end of the season is possible if things don't go well?

Folks still fondly remember our 8-5 season in year 6 of Petersen................

I'm not going to fire a head coach over offseason roster management before he coaches an actual football season.
I do see where things are headed though. It's impossible not to. We get to watch it play out in slow motion.
Then again, a really stellar season is possible and then who knows? -
We are in a stage of denial if we think all it takes to change recruiting momentum is winning on the field

The only way to change the narrative is to change the narrative. USC fans are freaking out too as they should I guess.
People forget that the last meaningful Husky game was another gutless loss to Oregon in 2019
Sounds like some of you want Jimmy to fail just so you can say you were right - Hi Kim -

I don’t even need to untie the gloves for this …
Have I not said how COVID and the P12 response hurt perception big time? Nope … I said that
BTW, that’s a big factor on those players good enough to leave the region and go to the SEC or Ohio or Clemson … you won’t find much of me criticizing this staff for failing to land Emeka or JTT … they didn’t help themselves with either but those battles were long lost
I’m talking about the fact that there have been more decommits this year than there were under Pete’s tenure
I’m talking about this staff regularly striking out repeatedly on their top targets
And if you want to go to this place, I’m talking about Lake effectively pushing K (by all accounts one of the top assistants in the country) out the door to the point he latched on with Sark … who is as far away from OKG as it gets
Let’s ignore the fact that Oregon has had no problem flipping the switch on recruiting operating on effectively the same set of conditions that UW was over the last 12-18 months
Let’s ignore the fact that CLAY FUCKING HELTON managed to make some staff changes and see an uptick in recruiting during this period as well
I don’t want Jimmy to fail … far from it … but he’s setting this program up to return to .500 (or worse) in the next 3-5 years -

Exactly. Take some fucking ownership instead of blaming the kids. Vorel should have followed up and asked why this never happened under Pete.Tequilla said:

How do you position yourself to have a loyal staff going forward if their reward for winning a conference is a pink slip and buyout since the odds of them getting promotions are slim to none for most
This is what it looks like when you double down on the wrong path over and over -
His older, much less relatable boss had no problem with decommitments. Quite the opposite actually, and it was a point of pride.insinceredawg said:
