Hardcore Husky Podcast: After Purdue Plungering, has Joey tested Doog-positive?

I believe most of us felt fortunate that Lake took a swing at Ruperake and that spelled the end of the Lake area but that’s different than actively rooting for an individual loss. It’s certainly possible Lake doesn’t get fired without the sideline incident but that’s unfortunately an upper campus issue where winning at the highest level doesn’t seem to be the goal within UW’s administration. Or since Lude was AD

I’m hopeful the new UW President is a sports fan and sees the positive outcome of a successful football program to the university.

Same, even if Fisch wins these last 3 games and he is successful next year he’s definitely leaving at the next best opportunity. All you have to do is look at his track record of moving every 2 or 3 seasons.

Recruiting sounds promising, leveling up and all. Even if Fisch is successful here next year, he will definitely move on before year 4 or 5 if possible and the his next opportunity. So these promising prospects will have options unless UW can hire some potential hotshot replacement with a chance to keep most of the roster depending on the bags being thrown around.

Long term, I just don’t feel excited because the offense hasn’t seemed to improve and the play calling is average at best. Listening to Greg Lewis and Mario Bailey Tuesday they were moaning about the play calling like most of us here. Greg believes one of the reasons UW’s tailbacks have struggled is because they don’t get enough reps each game to get into a rhythm.

I’m not really into recruiting anymore; however, said recruiting has me more excited than the product on the field seeing some of the freshmen contributing. Mario made a point stating Jed’s recruitings is great and he’s encouraged with the young guns taking advantage of their reps when the opportunity arises but Greg and Mario also don’t like the play calling.

The one hire Jed made that I saw as a positive was definitely Ryan Walter’s as the new DC. Will Jed be able to retain Ryan when he probably recognizes Fisch may be looking for greener pastures eventually. If Walter’s takes a different DC job in January this will be big red flag on Fisch. 

The problems on the road are a HUGE concern and I’ll be happy to be wrong if we see the team come out of the gates strong tomorrow, however I’m not holding my breath. If we lose tomorrow, this season will be a Fail!
