If the threshold for being a good coach is staying within one score of Oregon a couple of times pretty much every head coach in the country is on the table, including Lake.

When a story is getting out like this one is it's usually preparing the readers/fanbase for a future paradigm related event.
I like Jimmy Lake as a person but not as the head coach of the UW football team. I supported his hire early on until he hired John Donovan as his OC then questioned his judgment. African American head coaches in college football are few and far between especially at power 5 programs. If Lake had been provided an opportunity that many dream of he should hire, surround himself with the best people to ensure the best possible environment for his head coaching tenure. He failed at that big time with the hiring of a secretarial assistant to the assistant RB coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars at UW TE coach Derham Cato's recommendation.
Jimmy Lake, if fired-resigns-bought out, has no one to blame but himself in this situation. He gave a lot ammunition to everyone that wanted him fired for whatever reason(s).

Sums up my thoughts exactly. I thought he would have a few years of success before it came undone. When he hired JonDon I knew he sucked.
"If you’re asking whether Washington athletic director Jen Cohen is qualified for the position (of Pac-12 commissioner), the answer is: Yes, absolutely."

When the incumbent was Larry Scott, anyone would be considered qualified.
Even so, holy shit what a terrible take, even by Wilner standards.
The one thing that has been made obvious over the past year or so is wilner’s takes are not his own. He is spoon fed bs from sources and parrots it. The only thing that are his own are his game predictions.
Wilner gets a little bit of a pass from me for being the lead person in the media to really go after Larry Scott (him and Canzano) but holy fuck the dude's ideas are fucking stupid.
He's simultaneously rubbing Wilcox's balls, tweaking the Cal administration and flinging turds at the part of the UW fan base that regularly bashes his hot takes
Cal is in its current Covid predicament for two reasons:
1) Excessive lockdown-type restrictions by State of California/City of Berkeley
2) Despite the protocols in place, 44 players tested positive and that's why the USC game has been pushed back 3 weeks.
The University of Subaru is not hiring a coach with that black mark on his record.

Just won't do it.
I think it's pretty clear Wilcox is Jen's first choice.
Which is why, I'll say it again, Jen can't be allowed to make this hire.
