Jimmy will never be a D1 head coach again.ChillyDawg said:No, Jimmy wasn't lazy, something that could have racist connotations when used in a questionable conjunction with an African American, far from it. If anything Jimmy was overzealous in his coaching approach leading the program. The social media presence doesn't fall directly on him but the UW athletic department as well since they manage a lot of the social media accounts and media relations as we saw with all of the negative Jimmy Lake stories that kept on coming out in the recent days.
Jimmy made a very bad decision by hiring the secretarial assistant to the assistant RB coach from Jacksonville in Jon Donovan, a person no one was looking to hire as an OC at any level, as his OC on UW TE coach Derham Cato's recommendation. Then his seemingly refusal to fire him made a lot of people question his leadership abilities aloud.
Jimmy was one of a very few African American coaches to have a college football head coaching job at the NCAA D1 level and at a power 5 university at that which is a even rarer sight in the NCAA in 2021 https://theundefeated.com/features/even-with-the-recent-push-for-diversity-fewer-black-coaches-getting-top-fbs-head-coaching-jobs/ .
Jimmy should have surrounded himself with a better qualified staff and that is all on him no one else as he had the power to select his staff. Jimmy may well be very well off financially now but he will most likely never be a NCAA D1 head coach again.
Way too many other hungry up and comers out there. Way too many guys like Deon Sanders getting into the action.
Jimmy will be lucky to end up like Dan Hawkins.

Jimmy is like your classical millennial with two years of work experience that has mastered their specific job. Thinks because they know how to do the job that they should be running the department and managing people.
Jimmy doesn’t know how to grind or face adversity. We all saw what happened when he lost his shit on national TV. So yes, he’s entitled, delusional and lazy -
Heard a rumor that he thought they were cake walk their schedule and that his agent was already throwing his name out there in NFL circles as early as June.

He probably thought he would kick ass right away with the roster he had, and the recruiting would work on its own off of that. He failed to consider that he’s a shitty evaluator of coaching talent, and it cost him.

He's not a Millennial but I agree with the rest.LongDukDong said:Jimmy is like your classical millennial with two years of work experience that has mastered their specific job. Thinks because they know how to do the job that they should be running the department and managing people.

Ehhh, the recruiting seems pretty lazy to me. I didn’t really care at the time and wanted to see some games, but there wasn’t a huge effort put in. He is also responsible for his coaches efforts.ChillyDawg said:No, Jimmy wasn't lazy, something that could have racist connotations when used in a questionable conjunction with an African American, far from it.

His staff choices were all awful. -
No he wasn’t just lazy. He was also dumb with his schemes, bad at talent evaluation starting bad players. Overall he sucked.
With recruiting he absolutely was lazy. If the rumors are true, he may have been lazy because he thought he was turning this season into an nfl gig which also cements him as having no self awareness. -
I have tried, but I cannot come up with anything meaningful that could be construed as good during his time as head coach.
