10th Asst. Hired... Will Harris DB Coach from SJSU

While I'd prefer him to be recruiting OLB's its not that uncommon to just have 2 DB coaches. And I assume he'll be recruiting LA, so he might be going with Kawasaki on in homes with the LA kids, which would help. I still wouldn't guarantee that Lake is leaving next year, but it does gives us an insurance policy in recruiting so kids wouldn't feel abandoned if he left.

What does excite me is the thought of Lake and Harris recruiting together, talk about some fucking swagger.

For those that think I’m full of shit ... why do you think we hired a DB coach when we have recruiting deficiencies at LB (particularly OLB) and from a high end standpoint on the DL?

If those of you look at Lake and say yeah he closed everybody so GTFO with my theory ... why is Pete doubling down on THAT position group?

Good luck rationalizing that one.

Probably because your original theory was that Lake is "damaged goods" and was hurting UW on the recruiting trail. By closing on Hampton and Gordon (with Irvin still a possibility) it exposed that despite your ramblings and bravado you actually know very little about the inner workings of the recruiting process and your assertion was completely ignorant. HTH.

I said that depending how things played out with Hampton/Gordon that that could validate that opinion. Given that we were behind in DB recruiting (compared to prior years), had our only committed DB looking to potentially take a trip(s), and the in-state can’t miss prospect spent his own $$$ to go halfway across the country, it was far from business as usual for our DB recruiting.

I also made my statements BEFORE we made a big deal that Lake was coming back. You’re a fucking idiot if you think that announcement and the media related to it (including Lake answering such questions on local radio) was purely coincidental.

This hire is ensuring a smooth transition going forward. If we don’t have a ready option going forward, we are likely in a similar position going forward and WHEN Lake LEAVES we would be 100% caught holding our dicks while whiffing on a full year of DB recruiting.

DB is the biggest position group. We start 5 DBs. We start 6 other defensive players. It's completely justifiable to have two coaches for basically half the defense.

This is one of the most fucktarded comments I’ve ever seen on this board. Seriously idiotically fucking stupid.

We have 5 DBs ... it’s about 1/2 of our defense, it needs 2 coaches ... got it.

Guess what? Our OL starts 5 players and it’s 1/2 of the total offense? Do we need 2 coaches there as well?

But let’s short circuit your comeback of there are different skills between CB and S ... there are different skills between T’s and interior OL. In both cases, they are positional units that need to move in harmony with each other.

Your take here @dnc is a Doogman.com shitastic level of analysis
