Who will be the next to decommit?

Coach Pete, clearly. You also had Coach K as a well-respected coach holding it together on the defensive side.

Coach K leaving is all we needed to see. That dude had never chased a bigger gig in his life and was (allegedly) given back the defense, but it only took 4 games for him to take off.

And then Jimmy being unable not just to hire, but even to have serious interest from any remotely compelling defensive or offensive coordinators, tells you coaches aren’t buying what Jimmy’s selling.

And then obviously the recruiting shit show.

I dunno what happened to Jimmy, but something has clearly changed. His arrogance basically goes unchecked now is my best guess, & that Pete checked a lot of his worst impulses.

Sark can be very persuasive when he has the $$$.

See Nick Holt hire from DC at USC.

Also the hire of Justin Wilcox (DC at Tennessee) and Tosh Lupoi (Cal’s super recruiter) a few weeks before signing day, effectively blowing up an incredible class Cal had assembled. No early signing day at the time.

You're very right about all of that.

I still think it's Lake's fault. Keeping Kwat should have been top priority. UW should have outbid Sark if that's what it took. Lake's job, part of it, was to make that happen.
