    That's a lot of effort to go to. Dawgs are in your head, man. Respect, though. Respect.

    This sounds like a fanbase that wants to win.

    Firing Jimmy has to be an already decided upon sentiment FIRST. Then Jen can decide if she wants to go down with that ship and the Pres can decide if Jen is still qualified to pick the next HC.

    It's critical path and order. #FireJimmy will need to be the rallying call of the fanbase. That's where it starts. If we haven't come to a consensus on that there's not going to be a discussion of whether Jen also gets fired.

    Firing Lake would most likely hurt the confidence and feelings of our football student athletes. That is by far the most important thing to consider.

    College football is a cruel game. I could see UW getting on a 3 game win streak just to fuck with us.

    I heard this again on Derek's (otherwise good) pod. Explain to me why there's "no chance" Lake gets fired after year 2, even if we go 4-8 or 3-9? There's even precedent at UW with Gilby. Every level of the program and AD has been eviscerated and torn asunder. We're talking Hitler in the bunker with Soviet shells landing in the Reich Chancellery Garden levels of bad.

    And I know factually the buyout money is there if UW decided they needed to. So let's kill that argument in its tracks here.

    Given that Lake is incompetent, if history is a guide at least one more season to endure.

    The only way they fire Lake is IF she currently has Pete in her back pocket to clean up the mess and tide things over while they hire a competent head coach. Which I could see happening

    This is as wacky as the idea people had that Willingham was brought in to "clean up the program" and then another coach after that would be in charge of the actual winning.

    I was one of those guys that thought Willingham was going to be good for the program. I hated Sark that much.

    i posted that question on one of condooga's chat/blog sessions back in the day, he had the same response, 'thats crazy.'



    now that dj and condooga have both said 'its crazy,' then i have to belive i was right.

    Handicapping the games at this point doesn’t factor in whether the team quits on its coach.


    3-9.

    Self bump.

    You never fire your coach mid season.

    In this case, I actually wouldn’t, but a bowl game should be the minimum for returning. As long as there aren’t any huge blowouts, he’s coming back. And despite us sucking, it will be hard for a shitty PAC 12 team to do it.
