Well Chip Long was OC and TE coach at ND. Just saying.
Chip Long seems to be a good fit: OC/TE coach; coached in the Pac12 at ASU from 2012-2015, so he is familiar with the conference and recruiting landscape; 2018 Broyles award finalist.
Brian Kelly is an SOB, so him running Long outta ND does not bother me.

My local Doomer source thinks he wasn't the problem at ND, but that he and Brian Kelly had fundamental issues. He also had issues with Brian Kelly.

Love that the timing is Day 1 of the OFFICIAL Jimmy Lake era
Not sure why this matters. He’s said all along he would make moves after the bowl game.
Because it shows decisiveness and a keen awareness from the inside that the problems match what has been discussed on the outside
Pete valued continuity and loyalty ... at times to the point that a strength could be a weakness
If Jimmy can take the best of Pete and merge it with the ruthlessness that exists at the top end of CFP ... we’re in for a great ride
Additionally it shows he has been focusing his efforts so far on the most important problems. Not to be pedantic, but that is an important key coupled with what you said.

I don’t view it as ruthlessness. College Football coaching is one of the least efficient industries. Coaches are paid extremely well for average or worse performance. Head coaches are the worst. There’s only a few that are truly worth what they’re paid as measured by athletic department revenue generation and on field performance. In a world where Paopao can make 300k, were I the head coach, I’d be moving through coaches quickly to find those who deliver. Accept that there’s a million meatheads going after these jobs and keep churning them until you find a few that work. Most of them suck. Bob Gregory made 550k? Fuck that’s some serious entitlement.
Chip Long and a former UW player who I won't name, but his name rhymes with Muiossosopo.
I would LOVE for UW to find Tui a non-coaching position in the AD. PR or sales, something he can manage. Easily one of the most popular Huskies ever being employed by Cal is a bummer, and him leaving for SC has always left a bad taste in my mouth.

He also added that hiring Tui would be "underwhelming".
I kind of agree. The guy once seemed to be a rising star in terms of young coaches. Hes now just kind of a stagnant veteran
