If Lake is fired, who’s in the candidate pool?

Looks like Lake is the top candidate

He can still coach a defense. Hopefully he makes some better moves in hiring and adds more to the S&C program. Oregon punked UW in the trenches and on paper those recruits were better.

Fuck him. Go home to Spokane and be the DC for the indoor team.

I think he should go. However, this is the best defense in the league and should be even better against the run.

Are you doing some kind of bit because you want UW to keep Lake because he is terrible?

No. I really think ultimately that a strong Pac - 12 helps all ships rise. Also, do we want a cute regional rivalry or one that changes the national landscape?

Jimmy's D is hardly an issue. Leading the conference in PPG allowed (19.7) despite all the short fields they've been given. Yeah, they get worn down throughout games and start getting gashed like clockwork but can you blame them? You gotta be @GrandpaSankey to not see where the issues are.

The interior DL should be better against the run. I have no idea what’s going on with the OL.

The easiest giveaway that you’re dealing with an idiot is if they use PPG as their metric.

The DL definitely hasn't given us what we're used to the last 7-8 years but I think the main factor is they're simply gassed. I've watched our DL give up on plays in the 2nd half numerous times. They're toast and we don't have the depth to sustain the abnormal amount of time they have to be out there. 76 plays to 51 yesterday. 22 to 7 first downs. Two Oregon TDs came after 3-and-outs, one with a 22-yard field. Playing 6 in the box when we know the other team is running doesn't help the DL either.

Despite all that, we're leading the conference in ppg allowed, have given up less (in some cases far less) this season than Bama, Auburn, Oklahoma, Oregon, LSU, Notre Dame, Michigan State, USC, and Texas. Yet here we are at 4-5 with Dylan Morris making Casey Paus look like Trevor Lawrence.

If we're being realistic and want an experienced HC with west coast-ish ties who may not jump at the earliest opportunity, I'm looking at the following...

Top? options: Sitake, DeBoer, Matt Entz (North Dakota State HC, least west coast ties of all listed here)

Slightly under the top? options, but an argument could be made: Choate, Troy Taylor (Sac State HC and passing game savant. Could be good for Huard), Aaron Best (EWU HC), Brent Vigen (Montana State HC, took over for Choate, first year HC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalani_Sitake

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Taylor_(American_football)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Best
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Vigen

Ffs Troy Taylor was run out as the OC at Utah and you want to consider him at Uw? His scheme and qb nearly killed Britain covey and scored a total of 1 TD in 2 games on us that year before he was told to LEAVE!

Okay, cherry-pick the example that doesn't make sense to you. I'm throwing it out there. Being a first-time OC for Whittingham is much different than being a HC. You know that. Taylor is doing very well at Sac State. Not saying he's my top choice by any means, but I wouldn't use his Utah first-time OC experience and Britain Covey's deaths as barometers for his HC abilities.

It’s not cherry picking that is a list for Arizona or WSU. This is not the time for your low expectations bullshit.

The post was framed around being realistic you dipshit. Not sure what your pie in the sky expectations are. Cristobal himself was a no-name hire that was trash as an HC previously. The only way we get a household name HC at UW is MAYBE if Petersen becomes AD or something. Please list your candidates so I can laugh them off the face of the earth.

There it is. The first “but who could we get that is better?” take.

I knew you could do it.

I'll wait for your inspiring and insightful suggestions. I'll probably die of starvation before that happens.

We should get beau Baldwin!

If Mora falls through what about Bobby Hauck?

Dude took an FCS team into a ranked P5 team's stadium and beat them.

And I think he did it with Losingham's former DC.
