Even as a DC, I was never a Wilcox fan. Everybody blew him just because he was "better than Holt," but it seemed to be very hit and miss whether the skwaad was prepared or not. Maybe that was just a Sark thing and Wilcox couldn't have done anything about it, but his two UW defenses gave up scores of 41, 52 (twice), 31, and 28 in 2012 and 31, 45, 53 (in triple-shitpost-consecutive weeks), and 41 in 2013.
I really don't care how bad your players are (and no way were they THAT bad), you don't give up 40 points or more six times in two years if you're an elite DC. -
I think I got whooshed
Could have been a Nick Holt joke -

I think Wilcox is a good DC. That was Sark's team.1to392831weretaken said:Even as a DC, I was never a Wilcox fan.

He was a meh hire as a head coach though, and meh results have followed. -
If you can't win with superior culture....

Lake wasn’t getting the go ahead to come close to 1.7 mil. If Kwat wanted to go, there wasn’t much Lake could do. Of all the things to bash Jimmy for, this is low.chuck said:

Coach Pete, clearly. You also had Coach K as a well-respected coach holding it together on the defensive side.Canadawg said:I'm kinda of confused as to how he kept the 2020 class together after Petersen left if this is what he brings
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.
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.
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.
