  It took a hero by the name of Ruperake Fuavai.

  I thought it was the academis smack talk that actually got him in trouble.

  If Lake wasn't the worst coach in the history of the school he gets a slap on the wrist for the sideline thing at worst, and he gets cheered for calling out Oregon's pathetic academics.

  I don’t think UCLA or USC want UW/UO in the B1G. We’re* OUT

  It took the Fuavai sideline incident to spark enough pressure for Jen to relent on her support of Lake.

  That’s not what he’s saying though… if Lake were undefeated and beat Oregon by 50 that day we would have looked the other way

  I thought it was pretty fucking soft to act like what Lake did was unforgivable. Losing to Montana and putting no effort at all into recruiting is unforgivable. The Fuvai incident wasn’t appropriate and Lake overreacted but it wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I’m glad it got him out tho.

  Lake attacking Ruperake as a lone incident was not unforgivable but it got picked up by the media and was the top headline for ESPN the following Sunday. Then the other news stories leaked about Lake blowing up and attacking WRs and others. It wasn't until those stories were out in the public did Jen relent her support for Lake.
  
  Also, the most unforgivable part of Lake was Donovan.

  For me it is all context...the case was being made that Jimmy wasn't up to the job, to the point that people really were paying attention to everything...He was at the tipping point, and Ruperake sealed it. A couple "transgressions" isn't going to bury someone, but Jimmy had more than a couple, real and anticipated, with no up-tick in sight...

  It's crazy. He walked in to an incredibly favorable position. There wasn't a rebuild necessary, he only had a couple staff changes that were obvious, the recruiting base was built, and he/himself was considered to be a top-flight recruiter and talent developer.
  
  I honestly don't know how someone could possibly have done a worse job than Lake did as a college football coach.

  My wife noticed and was bothered by it… I didn’t and continued to pound beers

  Nick Saban screaming at Lane Kiffin would go viral. Also at players
  
  That's Nick. Win and you can run down the street naked. Iron law
  
  Saban has cooled it a bit

  It’s the male Karen’s of the world that got triggered based on the fear of cancel culture but I 100% am glad they used it to get him out. I’ve experienced worse on a personal level during football and I didn’t care.

  Lake did a bad job and needed a very small incident to get him canned. Jen is doing a bad job and a large incident like losing out on tens of millions of dollars every year for the university may be enough for the public outcry to reach the needed ears

  I wasn’t arguing or disagreeing with you. Just was giving my $.02 on the incident.
