Buddy and I made the trek to Ann Arbor and sat behind the Husky bench.
Before I get to my point, fuck off to anyone who says The Big House is boring. It was an incredible atmosphere. Puts Husky Stadium to shame. Not a single advertisement anywhere in stadium, so fans and band and PA are in unison for singalongs, chants, the whole thing. Awesome environment.
Back to the misery… Despite the electricity and our senior DL captain calling out the “malaise” on the sideline last week, it was the most lethargic and lifeless sideline I’ve ever seen…from kickoff to us walking out in the 4th. Here’s the thing, tho, that really became clear:
Jimmy is clueless how to run a team.
He didn’t huddle with any position group at timeouts. He didn’t correct or discipline any player, like Dom or KamFab, after stupid/bad plays. All he did was pace back and forth and maybe talk to the refs here and there. I can’t remember a head coach looking more detached from his team than Jimmy. And this was a guy who was super animated (cue Jordan Miller Utah pick) as a DB/DC coach. I truly don’t think Jimmy knows how to be a head coach. Like, we know he doesn’t know how to hire or recruit coaches. But my god, I can’t believe he gets paid $3mil/year just to pace the sidelines and not even coach…during a game!
Also, ya know how we raise our helmets on kickoff? Not a single player did it, save for Sawyer Racanelli, a fucking freshman. No Otton, no Bowman, no Morris… Guys we’re laughing on the sideline in the 4th.
From the top down, the whole thing makes no sense and is rotten. It’s clear Jimmy is trying to be someone he is not.

They know.
Then OL didn’t even break the huddle on the sideline together
Does Jimmy cross it up every once in a while with the right over left armfold?
I can't imagine either of those person fouls happening with Pete... I instantly thought of the Pete vs Sark difference after the 2nd one...
The players don't respect Jimmy like the USC players didn't respect Dark
Petersen had a rule about how you treated your helmet … he’d go ape shit if you treated the helmet poorly
Every player raised their helmets for kickoffs … every kickoff
You get a dumb taunting penalty that cost the team Petersen would have been inside of your uniform and on your ass … the player would have stopped and listened on the spot or Pete would have followed if he walked away and then put the player on the bench
The OL/Dom getting the Unsportsman like, one of our wr's celebrating in the 4th after the catch, etc. What are you doing? Your getting your ass kicked.
Also literally helmet holding and treating of ones helmet? I don't even see other than raising for kick offs where you pulled that out of. I honestly don't care, its concern #458 at this point.
