Speculating About the Rest of The Season
Do people here see Lake firing Donovan and who could he hire who is not only a good OC but a good recruiter too? Apparently Lincoln Riley still calls the plays at Oklahoma yet Oklahoma has two Co-Coordinators in Bill Bedenbaugh and Cale Gundy so it could make sense to try to hire one of them at $1.2 to $1.5 million per.
Besides the dark, I'm afraid of Lake keeping Donovan and then Huard transferring so help me!

My guess... Jen sits down with Jimmy in December and says, "We have to make some changes to make it look like we're addressing issues. Letting Coach Donovan go is really the least problematic move to make. The media will be on our side."

If he fires Donovan only then my attitude will be the same as it is now. If he makes changes to the defense as well, basically the entire staff on that side, then I'll probably doog it up and declare an offseason moral victory. People forget that the defense is really problematic too, and the worst of the recruiting woes are on that side. -
If Huard is already seriously thinking about transferring out then he isn't going to be the guy regardless of whatever janitor Lake hires.
Huard hasn't shown anything other than Ronnie Rainbow type shit. The ordainment and anxiety of him being the magical savior is fucking retarded. No one has seen enough to get worked up about him and the team has 69 more important issues than QB.

Lake could go winless and he's not getting fired

A really good QB would raise the level of play for the whole team. I’m not huge on Huard either but haven’t seen enough to really know. The signs aren’t great that he’s a baller tho.Houhusky said:If Huard is already seriously thinking about transferring out then he isn't going to be the guy regardless of whatever janitor Lake hires.

Did we not do this thread the previous 7 games?

They are but Morris misses a decent amount of throws every week. He can’t really run either.lawsandl said:

i think the scariest thing about firing jondon is you have to fire jondon. if (and really 'when') that goes down, here's what happens:
- jimmy has to convince some other OC worth a shit to jump onto a sinking ship (the jondon hire was so uninspiring/terrible that either nobody wanted the job (i.e. saw through jimmys shit) or jimmy was dumb enough to hire jondon or why_not_both.gif)
- jimmy then hires a new OC (see above for MY concerns)
we? have to nuke this whole thing from orbit, just to be sure. to do that, we? have to keep jondon on so that the 2022 season will not be special. -

They aren't firing Lake and he gets to start over with new coordinators plus some merc position coaches that are know for recruiting.rodmansrage said:i think the scariest thing about firing jondon is you have to fire jondon. if (and really 'when') that goes down, here's what happens:

He makes 9/12 conference money. That buys you a lot unless you really fuck up, which if you look at the games, the two embarrassing ones were both non con. -

If this staff beats Oregon which is possible after seeing that shit Stanford team go limp last night. That Shaw team is shit. How did they beat Oregon?
A win next week would keep the staff intact even though it needed to go after Montana.
An Oregon win is what Jen and Jimmy need. It won’t happen though. -
Donovan is 100% getting fired at the end of they year, doesn't matter what happens from this point forward. He's only still here as a shield for Jimmy.

I think most would rather have Jimmy fired, but just because we can’t get a top name OC doesn’t mean the new guy will suck.rodmansrage said:i think the scariest thing about firing jondon is you have to fire jondon. if (and really 'when') that goes down, here's what happens:

A two year contract at double their current salary would get a lot of guys wanting the job. -
I’m keeping Malloe and Junior. Everyone else can go.

I'm not keeping anyone on defense. Every unit has been a mess and underperformed aside from the outside corners and the recruiting on that side was disastrous before UW sank to the lower middle of the Pac.OreDawg said:I’m keeping Malloe and Junior. Everyone else can go.
It's hard for me to feel good about anyone on either side of the ball, though Adams' and boner's guys are performing now. -
If Lake manages to go 2-2 or even pulls a 3-1 finish out of the hat, a better OC should be willing to jump to UW for a 2 year or 3 year contract. We(?) need a much better play-caller and much better QB coach / recruiter.
Canning JonDon and hiring a very good / well-rounded OC would be well worth it. Hire one of the Oklahoma OCs and pay him $1.3 to $1.5 million so that the WRs stay, Huard stays, he can help nab Josh Conerly from Beach, and he gets to work on the 2023 class ASAP. -
Boner is still dogshit. From what I understand he's the chief decision maker of rotating backs in and out, and that's been nothing short of a disaster ever since Gaskin left.chuck said:

My concern is that the UW defense is severely flawed and has grown soft as fuck. Yet the numbers leave enough wiggle room that people are still claiming it's a good defense.
If they completely overhaul the offensive side,, but Gregory, Rowan, and Harris still have jobs, I'm out. -
The other simple fix is to not play the guys that don’t tackle. You gotta run Turner. It’s as simple as that. It’s cancerous to the team.chuck said:

I think Voi will end up better than any DT on the roster. The other DT’s are shitty. Bruener will be good and Sirmon has to sit next year when Eddy is healthy.
If we don’t get gashed on the ground against Oregon, I think we win. We probably will, but still. -
The DT play is an indictment of the coaching and nothing more. They are six deep in prospects ranging from high 3* to high 4*. No excuses. Booing the kids is retarded in this specific instance.RoadDawg55 said:

The DTs played better @ Stanford. Tuli Letuligasenoa and Faatui Tuitele will need to ball out for UW to beat Oregon and hopefully Sam Taimani is fully healthy after missing the Arizona game.
Where I'm not seeing improvement is the overall offense and the punt return game (and special teams in general).
More to the point, I think the punt returners are averaging something like 2 yards per return while opponents are averaging 11. A 9 yard difference on punt returns and about a 5 yard difference on kick returns adds up to a decent amount of yardage / field position per game.
