Will Jimmy Lake's First Season be Judged Fairly?

Watch. With SEC killing itself in the foot....This will be the year where we run the table make the playoffs and make some noise.

“Yeah....but it was 2020 and COVID so you have to put an asterisk next to it.”

Well, he isn’t a new coach. Same program Same players that committed to him. Same culture.

There isn’t a single reason for Lake to face plant but I have faith

The premise is faulty since nothing is judged fairly anywhere anytime by anyone... strip bias out of the human brain and nothing remains. He has no head coaching experience that I can see. I predict Mr T level loss pain. He could be another promote-the-assistant mediocrity.... but if he wins all is forgiven.

First you have to win the division

Depends on the judge

Jimmy's bosses and the media will be fair. Others not so much

As Don James once said - its easy to be popular with the fans. Just never lose a game

wasn't he actually scheduled not to lose a game this year? until pac-12 got its head out of BIG10's ass and realized what a fucking financial disaster it would be not to play

I don't like the recruiting results but I can understand why they are what they are ...

There should be zero excuse though when it comes to the players on the field ... if Jimmy is the right coach then this is a very strong team this year. If he isn't the guy, it will be obvious quickly that he's in over his head.

This. Not overly concerned with recruiting because I’m always worried about the next season and the majority of recruits, even the highly rated guys are a year or two from making an impact.

We have a talented team right now and should be good although if we don’t have a decent QB and Donovan hasn’t vastly improved we won’t be very good.

The problem is, Jimmy's getting three years no matter how bad it gets this year, and it's gonna get bad this year. So we're fucked regardless. By the time we get another coach, all the high end talent from the last three classes will be gone and we'll have three more dogshit classes like the one Jimmy is about to sign. It's fucking depressing.

i will judge jimmy lake on wins and losses, take all the screenshots you need.


Thanks.

Lake will have to be a complete disaster not to win one Pac 12 title the next three years. Too much talent not to. I’ll LIPO before guaranteeing disaster.

With you, Roadie. It's just that every possible metric for measuring Jimmy's performance so far.... recruiting, roster management, coaching hires, coaches retained... has been fucking dreadful. It's pretty hard to be optimistic. Unless you're BigErn.

An even more depressing scenario than Jimmy tripping over his dick for the next 3 years, would be him doing the bare minimum and eking out one pac-12 title in the next three years. Unfortunately, winning our horse-shit conference once in the next three years, even with all our talent, would probably be enough to get him retained and we'd suffer through another 3-4 years of mediocrity. Either way, it will not be interesting.

If Jimmy can't win right now he's retarded.
