    If Donovan didn’t have bottom 10% offenses in CFB at Penn State, then I would place more blame on Jimmy.

    Jimmy does want to run the ball, but we threw it 46 times against Montana and 37 vs Michigan. We are bad at passing and even worse at running.

    I have no problem with running the ball. Every run doesn’t need to be right up the gut tho. Run it off tackle, outside zone, a toss sweep, a counter here and there. McGrew needs to play and not playing your best RB (even tho he’s an average PAC 12 RB) is the type of stuff that kills the culture.

    The OL’s drastic regression has me thinking that the problems are deeper than John Donovan/Jimmy Lake’s shitty, archaic schemes.
    What goes deeper than the head coach and oc when evaluating an offensive line? Did they not lift weights this off season or something?

    Well it's a moot point now but I never thought it was realistic that Moore would come here. His agent may have just played Jimmy to get him more leverage with the Cowboys. The Moore talk started after CP had already stepped down so his only connection was to some of the remaining assistants. It also seemed like a huge demotion to go from OC of the most famous team in the NFL to working for a first time head coach at an average P5 program. And as I had said earlier, even in the scenario where he did take the job he would've been gone as soon as BSU came calling with the HC opening.

    Dak and the offense are going to pile up the stats this year while going 9-8 and winning the NFC Least. They will lose in Round 1. Repeat in 2022 and McCarthy is out and Wonderboy Moore gets promoted to HC. He is not going to coach here, Boise, or any other college team. Jerry wants him to be the next HC unless the offense completely collapses.

    My point remains, even if he took the UW OC job he would've surely bolted for the Boise HC job last fall after Harsin went to Auburn. He would've built a better foundation than what we have right now though.

    Agree, doesn't disprove anything you said.
    I just didn't ever think he was close to coming here at all. At the least, maybe it shows he had wise counsel and didn't want to join the train wreck.

    I'll take Moore as the HC yesterday. Beggars can't be choosers.

    The big loser in this (besides the fans) is Sam Huard. When he committed he thought he'd be playing for a legendary HOF coach and if Moore had become CP's OC, a rising star in the coaching ranks who also happened to be an undersized lefty as his mentor. Instead he's being guided by 2 former college DBs who are completely clueless on how to run a modern college offense. If I'm Damon and Brock I would be putting a ton of pressure on the AD to make a change ASAP or Sam's hitting the portal.

    This is where I'm at. If the revolution is to have a leader it must be Damon Huard. Sam leaving the program, as a 5 star legacy, would absolutely turn the Press against UW. That would be a huge embarrassment to the AD, bigger than canning Jimmy's ass.

    Huard could have been here in spring too

    He's not the savior

    How about a screen or swing pass to Cam Davis or McGrew? Get those guys in space. Same with Giles. Even if they ran it and then used as a decoy, it’d get that safety/LB out of the fucking box.

    Savior? Definitely not. But with a halfway decent coach he has the potential to be great. With Jimmy his career will be a guaranteed dead-end.

    I think, based on no evidence, that he actually knew what to do, but he just could not get anyone to come here. So we settled for the ball boy instead of an actual coach.
    This. He should have been all-in on Moorehead, but UW is pussyville.

    Now our should have been hire is crushing Ohio State in the Shoe, and we can look forward to Oregon fucking our women at mid-field after they get done butt fucking our Team.

    Now, more than ever. . . FUFMFE!!!

    Wasn't really meant to be funny. Jimmy's biggest advantage right now is that he is one of the very few African American HCs in football.

    You yourself posted about Mario Bailey, a beloved UW legend, basically pulling the race card in defense of Jimmy. Mario's actions aren't Jimmy's fault but it is happening.
    One fucking comment from a former player, and not even a real pointed one, doesn't warrant statements like that. Wjo gives a fuck what Bailey thinks when it comes down to it? Not me. He doesn't represent anything or anyone.

    Honestly some of you guys are over eager to bring the race issue into this. You're more eager than the folks who you're predicting it from. What does that say?
