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 -

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
I reuse to panic over the future until after the season -
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:

Win the Pac-12 and then make some staff changes. That's the only plan I can come up with to get back on track.RaceBannon said:

Fair enough. We just ask that you let the rest of us panic in peace.RaceBannon 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:
