    At this point lose to AK state and blow this shit up. I still just can’t fathom how Jimmy thought Jon Don was a good idea, it’s fucking crazy.

    I don't know if he thought it was a good idea, but he clearly didn't know what else to do.
    My prediction is Lake and Donovan have the same agent or some other business partner. The other is that Jimmy was so enamored with the NFL that he talked to Nathaniel Hacket or whoever was Jacksonville‘s OC and they said Donovan was great at watching film and was a great asset to their shitty teams and Jimmy bought it.

    Lake botched the hire, but he’s been coaching for 20+ years. He knows a lot of other coaches. In hindsight, Kellen Moore as our OC would have been a great get and even better, we wouldn’t even know the John Donovan existed.
    I'm not convinced he would've looked that much better if Jimmy's mandate is to run HB dive on every first and second down. Donovan is terrible, don't twist, but I think he's severely handicapped by Jimmy's demands for his offense.
    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.
    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!!!

    What does Jimmy need to do to prove his cluelessness?

    get Michael Jackson's bleach white skin? Right now being black is the only thing going for him.

    With respect of course
    this isn't funny or clever
    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?
