Wokeness more important than winning

Sonny6Killer

A diversity hire President hires a diversity hire AD who hires a diversity hire Head Football Coach, who then hires an assistant RB Coach to be the OC (not sure how that fits in except to say he won’t take the spotlight off the defense. I’m sure they are all great people. Cohen’s background is in fundraising. Jimmy’s in coaching DB’s. They were both hired to do a job that is completely different than what they have any experience for. All three should have cut their teeth at a smaller school before taking on a job like the UW.

But then again, if we are diverse and inclusive than we can just call ourselves winners. At the UW, wokeness is more important than winning.

Next step is getting rid of gold and adding red, orange, yellow, green,and blue with purple as the school colors

We can at least still fire Donovan though, cause he's a white male

Sounds like the last decade at USC.

Jimmy wasn't a diversity hire

In hindsight maybe hiring someone who's been a head coach before would have been smart

Hindsight is 20/20 and we all know 2020 was bad

Seems like laziness is the common thread more than wokeness, all were internal hires that didn't go through a process and the results are showing.

But he was a panic hire I believe. UW knew Jimmy had talent and lacked a Rolodex and resume but lacked confidence they could ever get him back once he took a big time coordinator job

He didn’t really need a rolodex. Besides OC, the staff was in place. This was supposed to be a plug in and go situation.

Get Pete and his bullshit offense our, keep the D the same, and profit. Instead we hired John Donovan and Jimmy can’t coach or organize even close to what Pete could.

I don’t think we have an assistant coach problem. It’s the head coach. It almost always is. Jimmy isn’t gonna be the guy. The guy wouldn’t ever lose to Montana.

The only way a loss to Montana would be even remotely forgivable is if the Huskies fumbled four times inside Montana's red zone and lost 31-30 in a blizzard on a day when 17 Huskies were in street clothes due to Covid.

But 7 points and 64 yards rushing? A day that will live in infamy.

Final nail in the program, back to being mediocre to irrelevant

This is a stupid fucking post. Jimmy was a no-brainer hire at the time. We're just now seeing that his appeal was all a mirage. Diversity didn't have shit to do with it.

Personally, I never thought he was a no-brainer hire but it was clear he would get the job two years before he did when UW panicked and made him co-DC as soon as other teams started sniffing around him. There was no coaching search to replace Petersen. This collapse is 90% on Cohen who is ruining everything she touches.

Everyone knew the formula was keep the defensive staff (especially Kwat) and then hire someone to come in and completely rebuild the offensive system how they wanted without Jimmy/Pete interference no matter the cost.

Instead Jimmy lost kwat, hired a guy that has to show a badge to get into his own coaching meetings, and has completely dropped the ball at the thing he was supposed to be good at, player recruiting and motivation.

Lake wasn’t a woke hire, he fit well into the plan everyone saw at the time.

I just can’t decide if Lake got the HC coffee cup and started putting in less work than he did when he was a position coach OR if he was always a piece of shit that rode Kwats coattails and can only manage 5-10 teen DBs at a time, not an actual entire team operation…

Lake is Colonel Kurtz

He was groomed for a seat at the big table.

Then he volunteered to go to Montana and something changed

He was given a lot of credit for our alleged great recruiting

He was hand picked by Petersen and Jenni

Everyone knew it was coming and 81% were ok with it

disagree. kurtz was actually extremely effective at what he did (i.e. leading an army, executions, etc).




mods/devs - please note this is not a direct call for genocide, just sayin that kurtz was good at it. jimmy lake couldnt lead a genocide of coffee cups.

This is so fucking absurd I feel like I am taking crazy pills just reading it.

Let the record reflect I was in the 19% that did not think it was a good idea to annoint him without a search, but even I had no idea it would actually be a disaster. I thought recruiting would be nailz. I also didn't realize Jimmy didn't know ANY other coaches so nobody would come here but a janitors assistant from the NFL who couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the directions on the heel.
