He makes big money. Way easier to criticize on camera and radio. The Coaching lifestyle is awful. He would never do it
He wouldn’t be starting at some FCS school in Colorado like most coaches. He could get a job, try it out, and if he failed, go back to broadcasting. You are correct tho. He probably makes mid 6 figures and has no reason to get into coaching.
Smash concepts, sluggo, we'll finally have it all!
Guaranteed he would be better than JD
I had a phone call with Hugh on a rainy November night in 2007. He had an opportunity to join the UW staff for $1 a year, to coach Jake Locker. I can't remember who initially reached out to whom, but I know the $1/year part was Hugh's idea. He thought Jake was a once-in-a-generation talent and he was concerned that he might not get the proper coaching from Lappano. (At that time I was very high on Jake, too). Hugh asked me what I thought I said if his heart was into it then go for it. Alas, it never happened.
Nice way to prove not a homer for his national broadcasting credentials. But it would have been nice to have gotten these insights before the season. What was he saying then? Did he voice concerns about the primitive offense or terrible recruiting in August? Everyone can see these problems now. Just saying it's easy to go off now when everything sucks and there is no where to hide it.

The only coach Hugh would work for would be Mora and only as a consultant probably. But whatever anyone thinks of him it would be a plus for the program if he were to ever take that role given his knowledge of every playbook known to mankind.

I worded it as a joke because I thought it would play well here...

You've got some great stories. You should write a book
He basically just completely destroyed Donovan. Is anyone surprised by any this? We hired a fucking assistant to the RB coach. That roughly translates to "film watcher." What a fucking embarrassment. It's all on you Jimmy you moron.
Crispened that up for you.
So, we* hired Dwight?
From my recollection, despite his character flaws, Dwight put up numbers. He’s more of a Mike Leach.
Dwight was a great salesman and even won the Northeastern Pennsylvania Salesman of the Year award for it. His second go at manager turned out pretty good for him unlike John Don. He also ran a successful beet farm something I doubt John Don is doing on the side.

I’d take Mora and Hugh over the Lake show any day I’m still not convinced you can win at UCLA sustained
One of the better rants I've ever heard from Brock. He might be the single outside guy with the most influence in that AD. If Huard is publicly taking you to task you're in trouble.
I’d say if Damon told Cohen that Sam is transferring if they don’t make significant changes, that would qualify as more influence.
Huard publicly criticizing is significant though.
I would think that if Damon told Cohen “Here is a list of firm commitments for $10,000,000 from these 5 guys if we make an immediate change to Coach _________ … and oh, by the way, they have committed to ghosting you if you resist” would carry more weight.
I just know I’m withdrawing my $500,000 if a change is not made
