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

Promote Gregory to DC?

Stick with me for a minute. It seems everyone thinks an internal promotion for our defensive coordinator position would be a terrible idea. Is it possible that promoting Bob Gregory to the position is actually a good idea?

I honestly don’t know if he’s fully qualified to do that, but for some insane reason we seem intent on keeping him here. He can’t recruit for shit, but it feels like he can at least coach players up once they get here, even if he sometimes picks the wrong guys to play. Coordinators typically aren’t heavy recruiters compared to position coaches.

Could it be that we’re better off kicking him to DC so he doesn’t fuck up our recruiting anymore or as much, and we replace him with a linebackers coach who can actually recruit and keep black players at the UW?

    Okay, but hear me out...

    What if we promote Bobby to DC...AND hire a shitty LB coach???

    We don't know if Timu will be good as a LB coach or not. The jury is still out on Cato. Why bring in new blood and new perspectives on football when you could just put the program on dialysis and waste away slowly.
    Yeah, I would hate promoting Timu to LB coach more than I would hate Gregory to DC. Jen claims she has unlimited resources for Jimmy to hire. Go out and actually make a big dick move rather than just promoting another GA. You'd also be promoting a guy in Timu who is entrenched in the culture of lazy recruiting. Think about it, the guy would have Gregory, Harris, and Brown as his mentors and their "why work hard, the class will fill itself" recruiting ethos

    Whoa whoa whoa. We don’t want bored inception happening here. Didn’t you listen when Doc told Marty to not interact with himself? JFC kids these days

    I'm somewhat okay with this. Get him off the recruiting trail and into the booth.

    He’s the guy that can be in the position but Jimmy can still call the shots on Defense

    Not only did we promote the shit LB coach to DC, we promoted the "defensive quality control" guy to DL coach.

    No creativity. No effort. NOGAF.

    Cato has looked like a pretty damn good internal promotion from quality control. LIPO.

    When Gregory was at Cal you all would have loved to have him as DC

    For all the angst here about recruiting and Jimmy and not having Petersen quitting anymore some folks seem to forget we? were 8-5 in year 6 of leveling up with awesome blue chip soft fucking losers

    I'm definitely contrarian on all of this. Let Jimmy fucking cook. If it tastes like shit then fire him

    im on bored with this. this shit better work.


    i have no idea what lake is doing (or if hes a head coach) but fuck, go fucking win and idgaf who the fuck he hires/doesnt recruit.

    Gregory isn't necessarily the part that bugs me. Hes probably going to be good as DC. It's just the general lack of signs that UW is making big boy moves. He has quickly lowered the look of the program to a lower tier than it is. When the effects of his shit recruiting catch up the reality will match this perception and that is somewhere south of Sarkisian levels.

    Unless...ah fuck I dont see any way this surprises me.

    Somewhere south of seven wins? That sounds bad.
