Was Jimmy just lazy?

I think this is it. I think he really felt that they could recruit just about any player and coach them up and win championships. Why battle the big boys for talent when you can get average guys and make them great?BleachedAnusDawg said:Arrogance seems like the most logical answer.

If this is true. Got to love they way god can really humble a person. Dude got handed a Top 25 program HC job and he just pissed it away.backthepack said: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.

Personnel decisions were terrible. He has no eye for talent, at all.

Lazy, arrogant, delusional, stubborn. It's actually very impressive how CP was able to keep him in check and get so much out of him.

There was this one guy early on who pointed that out. What was his name?

He coached with Pete at UW for 6 years, and at BSU for 2. He was DB coach under Raheem Morris in Tampa Bay for 2 years, but he thought it would be easy? He had no idea what he was getting into? Sounds like bullshit. Maybe he just got peter principled.Kingdome_Urinals said:He thought being the big leader would be easy. He thought he was a living, breathing special sauce. He had no idea what it took to lead a complex organization like a P5 football team.
He's a guy who had his ass kissed every step of the way and had no drive to be a great HC. Because he already thought he was a great HC, without proving anything.
He probably actually thought he was bigger than the job, and bigger than UW.
He is that big of an idiot.
Trying and competing and accepting "no" from recruits or criticism from outside the program made him triple down on his own decisions in paranoid/deeply insecure fashion. -

One thing about Jimmy is that he’s never run a large organization on his own prior to being the HC … yes he was DC but I suspect it was more K mentoring Jimmy and Jimmy being the young dumb college grad that thinks he knows everything type situation
Arrogance is the ultimate downfall … it’s the “I’m Jimmy Lake” and everything will work out
I have no question that he would have parlayed UW into a NFL job if he could have … everything about his history suggests that he was massively enamored with the NFL
When your desire to recruit goes away it’s time to head to the NFL
