The culture and fans around the program got a bad coach fired after 1 year. Took SC 5 years. Getting a new AD is attainable. Might be too late for realignment this summer but the BIG could be taking more teams next year or the year after.

It took a hero by the name of Ruperake Fuavai.

I thought it was the academis smack talk that actually got him in trouble.

If Lake wasn't the worst coach in the history of the school he gets a slap on the wrist for the sideline thing at worst, and he gets cheered for calling out Oregon's pathetic academics.

I don’t think UCLA or USC want UW/UO in the B1G. We’re* OUT

It took the Fuavai sideline incident to spark enough pressure for Jen to relent on her support of Lake.

That’s not what he’s saying though… if Lake were undefeated and beat Oregon by 50 that day we would have looked the other way

I thought it was pretty fucking soft to act like what Lake did was unforgivable. Losing to Montana and putting no effort at all into recruiting is unforgivable. The Fuvai incident wasn’t appropriate and Lake overreacted but it wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I’m glad it got him out tho.

Lake attacking Ruperake as a lone incident was not unforgivable but it got picked up by the media and was the top headline for ESPN the following Sunday. Then the other news stories leaked about Lake blowing up and attacking WRs and others. It wasn't until those stories were out in the public did Jen relent her support for Lake.

Also, the most unforgivable part of Lake was Donovan.

For me it is all context...the case was being made that Jimmy wasn't up to the job, to the point that people really were paying attention to everything...He was at the tipping point, and Ruperake sealed it. A couple "transgressions" isn't going to bury someone, but Jimmy had more than a couple, real and anticipated, with no up-tick in sight...
