When did you know the Huskies were in deep trouble under Lake?

Don't make me dig back and find my arguments with posters here dooging out over the "big dick quarterback" Utah comeback and how Petersen would have never had a comeback win like that (ironically, Utah was also the only team Petersen was able to pull the same feat off against, Wittingham going full retard on both occasions), so Lake was clearly an upgrade over Petersen.

"Chris Petersen doesn't get down 17 points at half to Utah, so that's a stupid comparison" is how I'll paraphrase my response. "Chris Petersen doesn't get down three touchdowns in the first half to homeless Stanford" the following week.

Hell, I was pissed after the OSU game, as they should have lost that, too. I was WAY more concerned with what I saw on the field than everyone's much bigger concerns off of it. Which reminds me: Poll options should be added for the Donovan hire and Kwiatkowski leaving to join Sark. The latter, in particular, pretty much proved the ship was sinking.

Recruiting collapse.

As soon as Pete mailed it in and Tits Cohen put Slick Jimmy in charge

As soon as he didn't shit can Bob within days on the job.

Honestly, it was some interview he gave after he was first hired. So many of his answers were stuff that Sark would say.

The Donovan hire cemented my misgivings.

Here are the three things, in order, that let me know this would eventually end in failure (I just didn't think it would be so soon).

1) Hiring Jon Don
2) Recruiting collapse
3) Losing Kwat, then upping the humiliation by replacing him with Gregory

The first two were huge harbingers. but number 3 is when I knew without question that this was a train wreck that was going to happen, the only question was when. Then the when question was answered during the 3rd quarter of the Montana game.

watching this team line up in the fucking I formation.

watching no NFL teams use a fullback.

If it's true that Jimmy was being lazy about recruiting because he was so sure that we would win on the field and make up for it then it's a crime against college football that he gets to coach a conference game.

He can have this micky mouse ass weekend and then him and Don Jon are gone and Malloe can finish out the year with Adams as OC, and then the fucking Pete Squad is done after a miserable apple cup.

If/When he makes it to conference play and gets his shit pushed in by Cal running Michigan's game plan, I hope that is enough to finally convince the druid President.

It's been "likely a disaster but we'll LIPO" since the initial struggle finding an OC, at which point I remember posting my favorite gif.




I don't know when it went from "maybe 1% chance this works out" to the current "welp, we fucked"
I'm not sure it matters. We fucked. OC, other head-scratching assistant coach decisions, recruiting shit-show, a general slowly increasing feeling of alarm, shitty Oregon state game, shittier Utah start, shittier Stanford game, bunch of alarming transfers...nothing has been good.

OK, his QB lead one of the 5 great 4th quarter comebacks in Greatest Setting history. But hey, even Pete had (1) 4th quarter comeback, also against Whittingham. And they shouldn't have been in that position in the first place. Just sayin'

Well, I asked when you knew he was in "deep" trouble. I had some misgivings when he was hired. But I saw an upside too.
