Jimmy’s comments are quickly approaching and passing Tyrone’s on the delusions of grandeur scaleinsinceredawg said: -
I assume the one game he's talking about is Michigan and he considers that game "in doubt in the 4th quarter". Are you fucking kidding me?Tequilla said:
Jimmy’s comments are quickly approaching and passing Tyrone’s on the delusions of grandeur scaleinsinceredawg said:
They were down 2-3 scores for most of the fourth quarter with an offense that could barely function. There was 0 chance they were going to score enough to catch up let alone stop Michigan. If he truly believes they were truly in it during the 4th quarter then what is the bar for a situation that is not in doubt? -
Caple made a point in one of his weekend articles and it’s spot on referencing the absurdity in talking about P12 parity for close games being like the NFL
The thing with college football is that the lack of parity is actually the biggest problem with the sport … in its current form you can out resource and drive massive talent gaps in most of your games. The reason Oregon State rushes the field after beating Washington is because the average Beav understands that they are starting probably close to 2 TDs behind Washington on average every single time they take the field … it’s why beating UW is such a big deal
The fact that Jimmy doesn’t get this and doesn’t understand that his approach to the game doesn’t close the gap against teams with comparable or better talent (see Michigan) but in fact tends to create close contests with teams that UW should simply win because of its built in advantages (Montana, Cal, Oregon St) is as damning of his ability to ever be the guy than any stat, comment, etc that you can point to.
Simply put his DNA to how football should be played doesn’t hunt in college football … and one’s DNA doesn’t change easily if ever. If he wants to go be David Shaw’s DC it probably works. If he wants to go back to the NFL that hunts. But it doesn’t in major college football … -
Jimmy is a good/great DB coach that got lucky Kwat was willing to be his training wheels for so long and then lucked into a HC position when Peterson quit.
Makes sense why he seems so lazy (strength/conditioning, game planning, coaching hires, recruiting), he thinks success or failure sits on a knife edge made out of luck.
He is too fucking stupid and arrogant to understand that great success is built on a lot of small success. He thinks its just a few key things that did or didn't go his way. -

He said this team should be competing for Pac-12 championships every year. We need a miracle to go bowling this year, and next year looks even worse. -

NIL era should be so fucking easy in Seattle.
Jimmy has a TOP 5 IN THE COUNTRY draw yet he's acting like he's Oregon State.
This is humiliating. -
And his teams also had a propensity for getting boatraced right out of the gate by good teams...which made his statements even more ludicrous. Its the philosophy of counting any close game as a win.CuntWaffle said:At least Sarks offenses could burst out some pretty savage games and knew how to run the ball.
That is the thing- most bad coaches manage to hang on through managing and lowering expectations.whatshouldicareabout said:

Who didn't think that UW was set up to dominate the conference when CP left? -

I get the sense that jenn understands football is king and knows it has to be good. She does her best to hire a coach she think will be good and gets out of the way. In itself not the worst strategy. She is supportive to whomever is in charge.Tequilla said:

But what happens when Pete gets to the cusp and doesn’t like what he sees in big time football. She sure as hell isnt doing anything to push Pete or the program over the top. Instead she kisses ass and talks about how great they’re doing.
When she makes an awful hire like we’re witnessing now, what happens when quick decisions need to be made to repair the derailed train. Can she convince the university we need to do it, raise funds etc…? Probably not.
And even if she did, she is not a good manager of managers to get us over the top. -
95%. And people who now claim to be against it at best were wishy-washy. There was no real debate at the time.dnc said:

When Jimmy got hired, I thought he had a chance to be, at least, average or above average. -
I enthusiastically supported the Jimmy hire. I figured if he was good enough for Saban and the fact he was young and cocky, then it was exactly what the program needed. That alpha at the helm instead of a buttoned-up beta in Pete. I actually believed him in his promotion presser that we were going to "attack" everything (everything matters!).FremontTroll said:

I was wrong and can't believe how bad it is. -
I have screenshots of me telling Cuog friends that they made a better hire in Rolo than UW did with Lake. I stand by that take. #profileincouragednc said:

I turned quickly once he let recruiting fail and the JonDon hire. I even thought he still despite that would be successful for two years. I was wrong. Please fire him now. -

After plenty of evidence he's very clearly a disaster really on all fronts. -

It matters in the context of assessing Jen Cohen’s aptitude for being an AD. A good AD would’ve conducted a national search and weighed that against promoting Jimmy, even if she (and most of the fans) were confident that Jimmy was the right guy.gmo said:Why does it matter if people were on board with the Jimmy hire when it happened?
After plenty of evidence he's very clearly a disaster really on all fronts.
But she skipped that step out of either arrogance, incompetence, or fear of dealing with the media circus that would’ve come up had the Pete retirement been announced without a successor already named. None of which are good looks for her as an AD. She went with the easy path for her, knowing most of the fanbase would be optimistic about it.
Her biggest sins as an AD, though, are rather easily the blind contract extensions that she gave to the entire football staff after a nothing COVID season.
