Chinsightful pod from Caple/O'Neil with Cooper Petagna

Good point. Pat Tillman wanted to go to UW because he loved Seattle, though I think Seattle is different now than the 90s. I think to make those guys work you have to get the very best ones. I think Petagna made a good point that they had a tiny margin for error because there are so few guys who fit all those bills. I think you also need a coach/staff that give those guys edge and confidence. I think the Oregon game this year showed well for Deboer and company in that regard. Stanford was a perennial Top 5 level team for half a decade so it's not impossible to do.Canadawg said:
True but there are enough Odunzes and Pettis' that would rather drive their BRZs around Seattle instead of South Bend or NormanWoolleyDoog said:Actually a really good podcast and was pretty surprised by his candor. I definitely agree with Washington needing to be Washington to beat out Oregon and not chasing them. My main worry/question is if getting guys who want to live in Seattle in the 2020s means you're getting guys who don't live, sleep, eat, shit football and it's only a step up from going to play school.
Maybe Mycah Pittman? He sucked anyway so if it was him not a big loss. Can't really think of who else it could have been.haie said:Who was the wr recruit he was talking about that he thought they had to have to get the current room to not be soft that Pete refused to offer?
They made it sound obvious but I dont know wtf they're talking about.
Anyways fuck Pete for that. -
Yeah I'm pretty sure he's talking about Pittman cause he implied the kid didn't get an offer. I think he dropped a subtle hint too when he said the kid was a real "pitbull".WoolleyDoog said:

Btw, this is the podcast that someone posted about on the DM boards and Kim deleted even though Cooper works for 247 now. What an insecure little cunt. -
DeBoer got this team to excel in winning time which sadly has been unusual most of this century
He turned 4 an 8 soft losers into winners
Penix played a big role but plenty of teams have a stud qb and still lose the 4th quarter
UW generally won it
As for the 23 season

Cooper explicitly said he got fired by Jimmy Lake but didn't divulge any details as to why. Hopefully he will provide more details in a future pod.

I was trying to listen, drive and eat my breakfast burrito at the same time so I missed some stuff. I thought I heard him talking about being in the 10% or something along those lines. I think he was talking about the 10% with a dissenting opinion. In other words he disagreed with Lake too much.insinceredawg said:Cooper explicitly said he got fired by Jimmy Lake but didn't divulge any details as to why.

It's what this board said for months in 2021. Jimmy wanted cheap Yes men with zero leverage. This guy had enough of a rapport with the staff and success with Petersen that he spoke up.chuck said:

100%. As the Director of Recruiting I assume he wasn't aligned with Jimmy's "We don't have to recruit because players will be lining up to play for me" approachhaie said:

Cooper: Hey coach, it’s sort of weird that Emeka doesn’t want to come here. Can you do a home visit?haie said:

Lake: You’re fired. I need to get to the golf course. -
With the evolution of that roll growing its nice that UWs current recruiting director got that swag

He's one of many people on that staff that we? hated until after the Oregon game.Canadawg said:With the evolution of that roll growing its nice that UWs current recruiting director got that swag
