    6. Rumors circulate that Kwat couldn't stand Jimmy Lake and hated working for him.

    Has this been legitimately reported anywhere? IIRC it was all hyper read between the lines without a lot of substance.
    Don’t know…but Marcus Peters was on this one early.

    He’d make one hell of a DB coach right now. Heard he has a great working relationship with Jimmy too

    @HFNY

    One thing I’d add to your list is moving your existing DL coach to coaching OLBs (what K was doing) and promoting a GA into being a DL coach

    Not only do you move a coach that has had recruiting wins at one of the most important positional groupings to an area where he has limited in best coaching experience but you then backfill that move with a GA expecting him to go out and recruit successfully against killer recruiters both in and out of the conference

    The promotion from within aspect of Jimmy is arguably as damning as anything else he has done

    Yep he fucked DT and OLB with one move. This is highly under criticized.

    Not to mention DL is the most competitive position to recruit for on the west coast due to the limited prospects with the right body type to play the position. It's either gross incompetence or astonishing hubris that made him think promoting Rip was a good move. Probably a combination of both.

    A little off topic but I just remembered how Jimmy fed the DM mods the narrative that UW was making ground on JTT because he really liked Gregory. LMAO even the doogiest of doogs didn't buy that bullshit.

    Jimmy's reign of terror will provide this board with a treasure trove of material for years.

    Just waking up from bleach induced coma. Much like our? offense, I am a failure.

    Fuck you Jen Cohen. Fuck you Jimmy Lake.

    Donovan needs to go.

    Dylan Morris is soft. Panics with any pressure. Too fucking short. No touch.

    I'm waiting for the McGrew interviews in a couple of years when Lake is canned and he spills the beans about why he didn't play.

    I just want to doog soo bad, and this abomination won't let me.

    Firing Donovan accomplishes nothing.


    Nah it actually increases the chances some key pieces stay out of the portal. Obviously firing Lake is the superior move but that isn’t happening mid season. Canning Donovan now could do some good.
    I don't know, sermon seeker. I get what you're saying, but I'm not playing 4 D chess on this.

    Until Lake is gone, I'm gonna have a hard time giving a shit about Husky Football right now including the transfer portal.

    I'm not renewing my season tickets and am mentally prepared for Owen in '22.

    Fair enough. I still have a little fight in me. I’m sure it will be in vain.

    Good point and I thought he was a good OC hire away from having a good staff. But then:

    1. He hires the assistant to theRB coach of the shitty Jags to be his OC

    2. The 2021 class closed with a wimper

    3. Kwat leaves and he was the brains behind the D plus also helped Malloe out with the DL.

    4. He promotes Bobby Gregory to DC rather than find a better DC who can also recruit.

    5. Lake hires internally to promote a grad assistant to coach the DL.

    6. Rumors circulate that Kwat couldn't stand Jimmy Lake and hated working for him.

    7. The 2021 class gets off to a weak start and 4 players de-commit, with Jon Wilner pointing out the trouble brewing in August of 2021.

    8. Lake loses to Montana.

    9. Lake loses to Oregon State a month later and with many of the same deficiencies plaguing the team.

    10. He stands by his shitty OC hire going into a bye week when it is blindingly obvious to everyone that JonDon's offense goes major stretches stalling, which tires out the D.

    11. No up and coming coach would want to join this sinking ship should Smug Lake happen to keep his job so he'd be stuck with the same crappy coordinators who can't recruit. That's not exactly a recipe for success in competing for top West Coast recruits, including those from WA.
