Jimmy waiting until after the bowl to make staff changes
It's an arms race and you're voluntarily putting yourself behind the 8 ball. Not great.

There won't be any. #UncommonUnity

It's not thrilling to hear, but part of me thinks he's just trying to keep the recruiting class together for the time being and once they get past signing day he can figure it out. Not sure that's the order I'd choose.
-
I'm starting to warm up to this hire,
mostly because I like saying "Jimmy" and, as a die-hard Hurricane, I like shit talkers.
Sign me up for a seat on the Jimmy Train. -
please believe people will know they are fired and others will have been all but hired before the bowl game.
dude has had this job for 24hrs, i get that he doesn't want to announce firings at his intro press conference.
everything he said about taking aggressiveness and a passion for strategy to the other phases = offensive staff changes are coming. -
I have no doubt he'll be in touch with candidates via back channels over the next month. Anyone he's trying to hire will likely finish out their season in their current roles as well. No point in going into the bowl game short staffed.ExtraChrisB said:...is a bad first sign.

He also talked #UncommonUnity at least three tims. Don't hold your breathe.doogville said:please believe people will know they are fired and others will have been all but hired before the bowl game.

Bad move... now is the time more than ever to show that you were the correct choice. The only problem is that Pete is technically still at the helm until the Bowl game.
-
Pete's still the boss, there's just no way Lake can come in now and start making changes without looking completely disrespectful to Pete.
He has to wait.
I'm not excited about this move but anyone who thought firings were coming today or this week was setting themselves up for disappointment. -
Jimmy literally can't fire anyone till after the bowl game since he's not the head coach until then. You really think Pete wants his last move as head coach to be firing guys he's known for twenty years? Calm down.
Plus, we need to current staff to stay in tact until after signing day to keep the current class in tact through signing day.
Reading between the lines, Jimmy's comments about being "aggressive" on offense and punting on the the coaching staff question indicates pretty heavily that he's going to be firing some coaches. -

Thankfully we're likely going to get one of those shitty bowls that takes place well before the New Year, so we won't have to wait too long.

Good points made by everybody.
The most interesting part of the press conference was when asked about the difference between himself and Pete, Jimmy talked about "the focus on the X's and O's and football strategy." I understand Pete viewed coaching as more than just football, and building men, but dude... Your first job is as a football coach. Had strategy to, you know, actually winning games taken that much of a backseat? I know it seemed like it from the outside, but that's a pretty damning quote. -
Let’s win our bowl game first and then move on to the public executions
-
Too late. After Damone and I exposed Goebbels aka OBK and his white hot hatred for Latinos, I declared by re-switch in allegiance and now hate Oregon as much as OBK hates brown folk, which is a lot of hate I might add.RaceBannon said:

The Cane love is constant and unwaivering; can't be helped and is completely congruent with Husky fandom. -
Well, rash firings can be overrated.dnc said:Pete's still the boss, there's just no way Lake can come in now and start making changes without looking completely disrespectful to Pete.

Again, I point you all toward Manuel Francisco Diaz. An actually good D coordinator who brings a lot of flash and saucy personality, he fired every fucking body right away.
And, here we? are at 6-6 with another loss to Duke. Duke. -
Jimmy is giving the guys who are fired an opportunity to land somewhere else.
They know who's they are. Jimmy's first order is keeping the class intact. He already is in full recruiting mode. -
Maybe Jimmy wants to keep the staff classy, so in tact works. Did you ever think about that? Well, did you?DoogCourics said:

No wonder Mrs @DoogCourics is leaving you for @Doog_de_Jour . No imagination or outside the box creativity.
SWIDT?

Pay attention to what is going on ...
Lake is focusing on visiting with offensive recruits ...
He’s taking Huff with him ...
Huff makes sense when going to Ferndale ...
Makes a little less sense when considering wide range of positions in California ... and once again it is Huff going with Jimmy
Then ask yourself why? -
Umm, because Huff is going with him?Tequilla said:Pay attention to what is going on ...

You've lost me. -
Because there are offensive linemen to recruit in California? If you're trying to insinuate that Huff is getting promoted to OC, why don't you come out and say it.Tequilla said:Pay attention to what is going on ...

So far the only guys on the offensive side of the ball I've read are out recruiting are Huff and Adams. Adams is visiting Odunze on Wednesday. I would guess that Adams will see McMillan this week as well.Tequilla said:Pay attention to what is going on ...

Maybe a lot of up-and-coming coaches are coaches for teams that are in bowl games right now and don't want to leave until after the bowl game
-
And ask yourself, @dialecticdwag, why is it that you don't come out and say it?GreenRiverGatorz said:

No shit and no shit. The reactions on this board to coach speak, which anything Lake says to the media right now qualifies as, continue to amaze me. Everyone here has been following this shit long enough to know better.DoogDawg said:Jimmy literally can't fire anyone till after the bowl game since he's not the head coach until then.
