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

What are the chances Donovan gets the boot come Monday?

    Stick to the script giddammit, Jimmy will have the team fired up, we will come out like a house on fire, take a 17pt lead late into the 3rd quarter, eventually squander it and lose by a last second field goal....all the Doogs will say, "wow!, what an improvement" it will be enough to appease the stupid Doogs, but not enough to get anybody ffired, we will follow it up with a win over Arky State and everyone will say we are trending innthe right direction for conference play

    A moral victory seems pretty much in the bag to me. I'm not even sure why they bother playing the game. Read the fucking script people.

    Jimmy seems to be the type who will double down on an unpopular stance just to prove the naysayers wrong. He is going to go down with this ship.

    Jimmy’s the smartest guy in the room

    He’s shielding everybody right now by taking all the blame because I honestly don’t think he views Montana as being THAT bad to his future at Washington

    If things get going more South, I’m interested to see how quickly there’s a shift to throwing others under the bus

    If the record sucks, Jimmy will 100% fire JD at the end of the year. Jimmy’s an egomaniac (normal for coaches, sure) who thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room.

    Bad record = he won’t be able to accept his faults and will look for a scapegoat just like the fans. UW nation will rejoice - nothing we love more than an exciting coordinator change! Jimmy will hire another retread, results will stay the same, but he buys himself another 2 years (New OC needs time to get his guys in and new scheme installed!).

    Jimmy fired after year 3. Take your screenshots.

    I think Donovan is stashed now as an excuse later so when the offense sucks all season then it can be blamed on him then pitched as a reason to be optimistic for the future. Having Donovan around also deflects some of Jimmy’s blame on Donovan and if he’s gone that just leaves Jimmy. I think Huard is also stashed for the same reasons

    This. Keeping Donovan gives Jimmy a scapegoat to save his own ass.
