Wokeness more important than winning

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.

    Sounds like the last decade at USC.

    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

    Jimmy wasn't a diversity hire

    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.

    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.
