PSA: The comparison with Lake is Gilby

Gilby was a decent coordinator, took over a relatively talented team from a Rose Bowl winning coach, and plummeted it to 1-11 by year 2 despite the cries of many that his year one 6-6 campaign had all kinds of program killing warning signs.
Lake is Gilby.
PSA over.

I'm tempted to make a Gilby > Jimmy POTD.

Or Lambo
Going 7-4 with the roster he had in 93 was a giant red flag -

Or in 94, or in 95, or in 97. We are so bad at firing.RaceBannon said:Or Lambo

In terms of performance it’s no doubt Gilby/Jimmy
In terms of stupid ass soundbites … Jimmy is feeling more Ty than Gilby to me
Regardless, if you’re being compared to either it should be Door.Ass.Out -
Jimmy might not win 7 games in 2 years at this rate.insinceredawg said:

2020-OSU, Stanford and Utah all should have been losses. He won instead
2021 so far-Montana and Oregon State should have been wins. He lost. This team is getting worse by every metric imaginable. -
Agree completely @Gladstone

Jimmy is what Pete was for 3 out of his 6 years at UW, but a little shittier than that even.
6-8 wins, bend and break, overly conservative D. Get up by at least 10 at half and you're really conservative on both sides of the ball and holding on, and the opponent knows it. And absolutely shit offense in need of a Gaskin-type to keep the sticks moving to apologize for bad play calling/scheme (this year that's McGrew).
Pete lost to Utah, Arizona, Cal, Graham ASU, all sorts of teams he should have handled. Jimmy's just done it with Beavlet and Montana (Pete barely scraped by Eastern). -

But you catch my drift -
As an assistant, Gilby was the coordinator for a natty. Gilby also had two head coaching jobs - at Idaho where he kicked fucking ass in the Big Sky and also at Cal where, ok...not so great - but Cal too high any way.YellowSnow said:I'm tempted to make a Gilby > Jimmy POTD.
Jimmy was part of a coaching staff that got blasted by Alabama.
Advantage: Gilby

Won 8 because he got Hawaii and a super shit schedule in 14. Hawaii, Georgia State, Eastern (they might be a loss now but they gave up 50 to Cyler that year)
I said Jimmy's a bit shittier so don't twist. -
This team has only begun to quit. They still have the talent to play up when they are motivated. Once any remaining motivation runs dry and they quit in earnest it's going to get a lot worse.insinceredawg said:

There will be a blowout loss somewhere in there from UCLA/ASU/Oregon.

We should beat wazzu. But they actually look way better than us right now. You have a melt down every game like everyone else and then have weird undeserved optimism during the week because were Washington. . This team sucks really bad.haie said:

my hate for this shit is waning - just not worth it.
Saturday I just shook my head in disbelief.
Oregon fan and I were talking he was hoping we? would beat OSU. Saw him late yesterday and said "told you we are crappy" he then said the Ducks played badly. My retort was I thought they looked fine. PAC12 national image is the ducks and they suck -

We might have a blowout loss to Stanford on the road again or one of UCLA/ASU/Oregon. But most likely Stanford will be close as well, because they're aren't a good football team either.
The 3 better teams are at home. It will be hard to blow us out at home unless the team has quit completely.
We'll have, at worst, a close loss to Wazzu and/or Colorado because that's how every game has gone except one. But then we'll take another close, lucky win somewhere else.
Math says based on everything this year, it's unlikely that we win just 3-4.
But most likely we beat Wazzu (not going to get into that, but expect a W) and Colorado (who somehow made a worse hire than we did), and Arizona who is not currently Power 5.
5 wins. 2/3 of UCLA/ASU/Oregon will be close, conservatively. Stanford a close game, most likely.
We win 5-7. Upper bound is 7-8 wins.
That is a Pete year 3/6 years. -

Everyone wants them to lose every single game. I get that.
But I'm focusing on conference play of not just UW, but all other teams too.
Beavlet 2-0 (convincing win and unconvincing win over 2 bad staffs with more talent)
@GhostofMosster47 0-2 (they need to go to FCS NOW)
Everyone else is mediocre.
Hard to see raw talent winning just 3-4 games. Maybe Jimmy gets it done but it's unlikely given our schedule and the teams we're playing.
AGAIN: who is Jimmy most like? It's like everyone forgot that Pete was mediocre, close to being less than mediocre, 3/6 years with this same mindset/schemes every fucking game. -

They did not quit against Beavlet. Actually everyone looked pretty fucking confident except when they were watching Morris bounce balls off of fucking OL heads.
As a matter of fact, when they went up 24-17 with 8 minutes to go and Little Seanny McGrew was running them over, their fans started getting really fucking scared. Pete Squad saved the day though.
