Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Rumor about Peterman

Stepped down because of the vitriol on HCH.

Don't twist; just what I'm hearing.

Prediction tim: Lake won't succeed. Take all the screen shots you want. This is a bad day for Husky football.

    Maybe not. God knows UW has not had success with assistants but you are talking about Lambright and Gilby. L:ake feels different but that might also be the Doog in me.

    What are your reasons for why not? I'd love to hear them.

    As we always said over the long duckade, no one ever went broke betting against UW doing the right thing in football. As we learned again this season as the 5 losses piled up.

    So to bet that Lake fails and this is a dark day is the proper bet. We've been through enough coaches to know there is no magic formula for assistants or head coaches to take a job and be great. They have it or they don't.

    I think Lake is a great face for the program and a great recruiter and we eliminate the OKG bullshit. If he gets assistants that can coach and lets them coach we should do no worse than where Pete was leading us. Probably better.

    A hungry Lake is better than a burned out Petersen riding his boat to work

    SKRONG AGREE!!

    Yeah, but once he gets paid, Lake will probably buy a boat. So there's that.

    Lake already has a boat. It's just a matter of getting a bigger one now.
    Good poont.

    If he gets one with an espresso maker on board, you're? fucked.

    The thing that concerns me about coach Jim Lake is that he will have no qualms when it comes to recruiting guys who could/should be in prison. A return to the glory days of WASHINGTON.

    Then again, Chris Petersen gave us an annual shitpumping so the bar is very high.

    Also, the last coach named Jim was Lambright. Another defensive assistant who took over for a quitter and oversaw the slippage of mighty WASHINGTON football.

    Yes. That's it.

    My reasons? Statistics. Nothing more. I've seen more beloved coordinators bash their heads into the ceiling aka the Peter Principle than I've seen anything else in any other profession.

    It's a low odds bidness, and the popular coordinator rarely works out. Just numbers.

    Look at how everyone shat all over Criscoballz. The only thing I can say to how that's worked out is that Oregon got lucky ... justy like they did with Chip, and just like they didn't with Helfrich, who'd been there longer than the other two put together.
    What stats are you pointing to? The top 2 current head coaches in the Pac - Shaw and Wittingham - were both coordinators before taking over at each of their respective schools. There are only and handful of "can't miss" hires. Would we be in a better place in terms of future success if we got some up and coming Group of 5 HC over lake? I'm not sure I buy that.

    That OKG bullshit was bullshit from day one. If Lake starts recruiting some people with an questionable backgrounds I'll be happy.

    Just @UW_Doog_Bot post. I already answered this question Yella! Just the numbers.

    For your Shaw and Wittingham, I can name 20 off the top of my head that turned ugly.

    Hiring the right guy is hard. Hiring a shit-show, the numbers would suggest, is easy as fuck.

    You? just lost a guy who made UW something out of very little and hired someone else. No insurance company would ever underwrite this thing. Add in the qualitative factor that it's some popular slick "the players choice" dude named "Jimmy" who's best known for DBU ... it has "fail" written all over it. But that's just me.

    He was betting on the Cuog in the AC as recently as last season.

    That's probably right.

    I feel like you're distinguishing the ways you're going to lose to the house in Vegas. I think Mrs. Yella is going to react with the same negative emotions whether you fuck the pooch on the black jack or craps table.

    And, in all fairness, this is where I have to axe: where's the skepticism levied on Crisco? The #1 thing both doods represented when is recruiting chops.

    There are like 130 D1 coaches. About five of them are good. If you're suggesting the odds of Lake not being one of the five are high, I'd say I agree. If you're suggesting that, knowing keeping Petersen is off the table, hiring somebody other than either Lake or one of those five (impossible) provides improved odds of a sixth good coach joining the fraternity, I'd like to see the numbers that prove it.

    Petersen left. So the question is now what? Lake's as big of a coin toss as most anybody else would be.

    Lovely reasoning.

    I used pretty much the same when saying that Cristo wasn't a bad hire and that his recruiting acumen would be a good thing for a program like Oregon. I was pretty much mocked incessantly for it.

    I've come for my penance. When Oregon hired Crisco, what was it they should have done instead? Because this feels an awful lot like that hire, only my boyfriend had more experience than Lake.

    I'm not a gambler, Tio Creep. Don't have the stomach for it.

    I never criticized or mocked the Mario hire. I said there wasn't enough evidence suggest whether he likely succeed or fail.

    Yes, there was. The fact that he wasn't Nick Saban and the odds. That's always it.

    I think I'm often misunderstood on this point. I defended Mario because (1) recruiting chops (clearly established and now proven) + (2) roll the dice.

    Mario had a horrible head coach record

    He really isn't a comp. I was messing with @MikeSeaver

    I don't think Cristobal has anything to do with Lake

    And all Cristobal has done is not quite match Rick unless he wins Friday and in the Rose Bowl

    Still too early
