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

Jimmy Lake is much different than Chris Petersen, but will it work for UW Huskies?

    I think the game is changing too. It’s about talent acquisition and program culture now. Can you get a good staff that can get players and get them to play hard all the time. Dabo for instance was not a great coach, but they play hard and bring in top tier talent. It’s so much about those things now, not “is your coach the best schemer in America”. Look at Coach O too. Or (sorry, and to a much, much lesser but still notable extent) Cristobal.

    Obsession with scheme matters a little more in the NFL, but the basic principles of football will always be the same. Block, run, tackle, catch, be tough.

    The heavy schemers in college football don’t do well.
    Talent and effort in the NFL have a lot more parity. Pete Carroll at USC said he wanted the best athletes to just go out and play bc he figured they were bigger and faster than 81% of the other guys.

    If i has to make a prediction right now...I'd say uw football is fucked

    That's generally a better bet than the field even
    Who knows, Jimmy might be another Neuheisel. And it might look obvious in retrospect.

    Once upon a time, I was so excited about Neuheisel.

    Does that mean if Jimmy wins early, “IT WILL BE WITH PETERMAN’S PLAYERS?!”
