    I’m waiting on Jimmy to coach a couple games first. This is still sizzle. I’m starting to expect the worst, but everything gets fixed by winning.

    The problem is that there is so much talent on this team that this team could be very good if there is a season. We know for the most part that the coaches can coach (by and large).

    Problem is coach is just part of the job. The lack of recruiting is going to torpedo the program down the road ... that’s the major risk.

    Jimmy going 10-2 or 11-1 this year not only results on Jimmy doubling down on what he’s doing being the right approach but almost assuredly results in Jen extending the contract.

    Anything Jimmy does in 2020/2021 is riding the bow wave ... we don’t learn about Jimmy until 2022 at the earliest
    Helfrich made a title game, but his lack of recruiting ended him in year 4.
    I would take a shot at a championship in exchange for sucking ass two years later and being back on the coaching carousel.
    Hopefully Jimmy wins an NC, then sucks horribly for two years, then we bring in Justin Wilcox for the long haul, baby.

    Yea no shit because your getting paid millions to not do your job. The problem is he may already be getting paid millions to do that.

    I get that, but he will start recruiting better if he does go 10-2 or 11-1. If he does, we will all be surprised and happy he did. I don’t care about learning about Jimmy and if he can sustain a program. I just want to win. Right now. 11-1 and I’m very confident Lake isn’t Helfrich just riding the wave.
    He probably isn’t but he also isn’t inheriting the talent that Helfrich did. I

    Yeah, if we go 10-2 or 11-1, I'm pretty sure we will see recruiting skyrocket. Winning can cure the recruiting issues. The problem is if we have a mediocre season, you arent building for the future. You're just perpetuating the downward trajectory.

    Also, recruiting issues or not, having 2 walk-on level guys on your scholarship commit list in June is just weird.
    It’s like Lake has embraced the challenge of finding a recruit who is not actually good enough to walk on at Oregon

    Other than QB he's inheriting more talent than Sling Blade
    ?

    Sling Blade had DeForest Buckner and Arik Armstead on DL.

    De'Anthony Thomas, Thomas Tyner, and Byron Marshall at RB.

    Devon Carrington, Devon Allen, Bralon Addison, Josh Huff, and Pharaoh Brown at WR/TE.

    Overall 2020 Washington should have more blue chips, but Helf was handed more proven top-end talent. It only took two classes ranked around 20th with too many JAGs to tank the program. Combined with Helf's lack of aggressiveness and losing the locker room. I doubt Jimmy loses the locker room like that, but I didn't think Helf would either when all the position coaches were proven veterans.
