I said this back in October.
Fuck all y'all.

Fuck all you all y'all -
Losing to Cal two years in a row has got to burn a coach out. Ask Charlie Strong.

This, a new LBs coach and a new OC, and I'm happy.GreenRiverGatorz said:
Hard to say how much of that was being given two crippled middle linebackers, and how much of it was poor scheming. Either way 2019 wasn't an A+ DC performance, that's for sure. But he seems to be a lot more suited as a motivator, recruiter, and executive than he is as a coordinator. So give that job back to Kwat, who has proven to be one of the best schemers in the game, and let Jimmy drive the ship.Houhusky said:Lake has not been a good enough DC for me to get excited about him being the HC...
This year he looked just bad at times, even with Kwats training wheels still attached. -
What's the publishing date for "Bow Down to Peterson," Stalin?

How this isn't seen as an absolute win is beyond me... Petersen is retained and presumably his CEO qualities will be of benefit from his advisory role. Lake jettisons Pete's broken offense, cleans house, and brings a more energetic/enthusiastic face to the program. Kwiatkowski is bumped back up to DC and hopefully an adept defensive recruiter (Dennison/Sirmon???) is brought in as the last coach/DB coach if Harris isn't promoted.
This is the best of all worlds, in my view. If we can assume that Pete lost the fire to be a 12 hour a day every day coach, and according to this site that was a concern from day one, he needed to go. Lake seems like he has a chance to be the next Dabo, and Pete will be there to hold his hand through the rough patches of learning on the job. -

Hiring your most valuable overall in house assistant that has been with you forever and knows the schools current culture/program is much different than plucking a top OC/DC from a completely different school in a completely different conference. He still sucks until he doesn't though.

Was Pete going to change? I think we know either he couldn't or didn't want to try. We never won a game we weren't supposed to. Dreck 12 titles were the ceiling. I'm not excited promoting a coordinator, but I don't want to see Jimmy get a shot somewhere else. Ok, so let's go. -
Been there, done that.GrundleStiltzkin said:

How about winning a NY6 bowl, and not getting blown out, humiliated and game-overed by halftime?
