I remember Socha saying that after the Bama game he needed to completely overhaul his system. Not sure that worked out so well as it feels like even Pete teams were softer after that.
They weren't softer. They were just too big and a lot slower and not as quick.
"Soft" I remember us melting in second halves thereafter which was never a problem before. Not mutually exclusive ideas. Tomato Tomato
My best guess is that the COVID restrictions and protocols fucked up Socha's system, and he didn't make the right adjustments to keep everyone in shape
Buffy Miller thinks he's awesome and so did some former players.
I wanted him gone but its possible it was a rotten fish head situation
Strength and conditioning did drop off the face of the earth 🌎
Buffy Miller still thinks Jimmy Lake was a great coach and we got rid of him too quickly. I'll pass on Buffy's opinions
Getting opinions from parents and players is always a weird thing to me.
Regarding Buffy, I’m sure she loves Lake because he helped Jordan get drafted and she probably talked to Lake often during the recruiting process back when he still recruited.
Getting an opinion from a player is another interesting exercise. Players will say “Coach is the best coach I’ve ever had” and if the player is in college, I would fucking hope a college coach is better than your high school and peewee coaches.

This. Miller was one of the earlier recruits when Jimmy was just a DB coach, so I am sure he built a great relationship with them. Lake was a lights out DB coach/recruiter and as you eluded too, got Jordan drafted and he was a pretty low level recruit.

Socha was at BSU when they beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl and had some decent years at UW, but 2019 onward has been bad
