Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
This Will Not Be a Popular Opinion
But Cristoballz is the best coach in the PAC-12 right now.
He’s brought the big dick mentality to the West Coast in recruiting and coaching.
He completely outcoached a solid coach in Whittingham and his staff by attacking the strength of their D right up the middle. They attacked, and he had them ready scheme-wise and energy wise. You don’t think he used the national media looking past Whoregon and solely focusing on Utah’s CFP chances as motivation for his team?
His teams play with swag and energy that leave me envious of their brashness, cause it looks like they’re having fun. They embody their coach.
The PAC-12 is a joke of a league compared to the Big 10 and SEC as evidenced by that Martin Stadium-esque turnout last night in Levi’s Stadium. You could hear it in Herbstreit’s and Fowler’s voices, as they didn’t have to “get up” for the moment.
I don’t like Cristoballz the person, but I like the mentality he’s brought to a passive-minded gentlemen’s conference.
I think Lake has that in him, too, and I’m looking forward to the best rivalry in the conference playing out on the field and recruiting trails.
It sucks to see the Yucks go to the Grandaddy of Them All, but they deserve it.

'Hey, we need talent and we should play like aggressive alphas'
and then a bunch of morons are like "YEAH BUT RECRUITING RANKINGS ARE WRONG AND DON'T MATTER - THEY ARE GETTING BAD GUYS AND HAVE A BAD CULTURE"
Oh - wait, you mean, UGA, LSU, Bama, Clemson, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State and Notre Dame all do that?!?! BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT
CristoballZ raped us this year. Because he's just like 'okay, while these guys are debating whether the sky is blue, i'm going to just fucking do what I should'.
It's not that complicated.
What I honestly like about Jimmy is that he's basically the same, except he's not a dumbass.
Meanwhilst, we* had a coach quit on us and we hired a coach with no HC experience.
They are just like - 'uh, we need the best players; then we need to physically dominate teams; I need to get coaches who maximize talent... not just let my friends sit around on this staff and talk about how it's not fair our players can't execute our beautiful schemes.'
Mario got rid of Leavitt and won the fucking Pac-12 because IT'S NOT FUCKING COMPLICATED.
IS IT REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE TALENT AND AN ALPHA MENTALITY AND HAVE SCHMES THAT MAXIMIZE PLAYER TALENT?!?!?
Hmmm... :::::::sound of a thousand Doogs trying to figure out how to say going 7-5 in year 6 is actually a triumph::::::
I’m just impressed by Whoregon’s pre- and in-game coaching. They outschemed us (not hard) in the second half and did the same to Utah all night long. And shit, for the first time watching football, they actually make me think the Pistol is an effective strategy. RBs hit the holes with so much speed.
God help us if Jimmy tanks and Jen keeps him around long enough to blow up the program again.
Cristobal inherited a very experienced roster... he hasn't proven he can build anything yet.
The Pac-12 was fucking awful this year and Oregon could only beat UW by 4 and WSU by 3... and lost to a crappy ASU team when everything was on the line. You think Clemson, Alabama, Ohio St, Georgia, Oklahoma lose to fkn ASU? Please.
And don't get me started on Utah... their non-co sucks and their best games played were a loss to USC and scratching by UW. Overrated all year... any other year where the Pac 12 doesn't blow ass this Utah squad is a 7-8 win team.
However, outside of that, with a little context it's not hard to understand why Jimmy might actually be really good... he's got a bit more in common with Lincoln Riley, Ed O, Dabo, Mario and Kirby than most.
If we can just have 50% Pete culture and 50% 'we want to sign kids who are scary and beat your ass' culture, we should be great. Jimmy's not fucking David Shaw, that's for sure.
Yeah. I'm thinking I'm not taking much umbrage with the OP. You'll excuse me while I vomit.
