JIMMY LAKE DC, KWAT CO-DC

I see it as a move to keep Lake around for another couple of years. If Kwat is content to stay as DC then it makes sense. He shares some responsibilities to keep Jimmy around for another couple of years, lets him learn the ropes with a safety net, and then is there to take back over when Jimmy inevitably gets a shot at a HC gig. You can call me a doog but that would be redundant. It's in my programming.

There's a lot more ways for this to go badly than to go well.
Really hard to imagine it making us better. -
Maybe there is more to this story, but it does seem like Pete is bending over backwards to keep Lake around, and now he’s messing with a proven entity to do it. Weird.
Simple fact. -

Some of you need to spend some time on LinkedIn and realize titles only matter to those outside the organization, ie recruits.

Yeah but you have to compare it to other future scenarios not just the current status quo. Of course we would all like things to stay the same in areas where we are elite but everything is a changin' all the tim.dnc said:There's a lot more ways for this to go badly than to go well.

Other scenarios.
Lake LEAVES!!! to become a DC at another school. <-We are worse off.
Kwat LEAVES!!! to become a head coach <-We are worse off.
and probably a bunch of other ones I won't bother with but that would also be worse. The raility is that JL is upward mobile in the landscape right now. What's the best scenario you can imagine where that is still part of the equation. -
I think it is a great move. Kwat has shown by his previous actions that he is selfless and tied to Pete. He is content with the system and culture. Like others have stated he probably would prefer to work with the kids more while grooming Jimmy to keep moving up the ranks. Their whole system is based on being selfless and bettering themselves and the people around them. This really makes perfect sense to me and I love it because we get to keep Lake and Kwat for a few more years. It is also possible Kwat is looking to step back and retire in the future.

I've obviously been banging the Lake's leaving inevitably drum fairly hard over the last couple of years and for sure the last couple of months ...dnc said:There's a lot more ways for this to go badly than to go well.

There's no way that I would have ever thought that this type of scenario was realistic ... this kind of move NEVER HAPPENS ...
I don't think this move happens without K's blessing ... wouldn't shock me if he suggested it.
For those that like to bang the drum of it being important to put the best staff possible together ... it's these kinds of outside of the box moves that allow you to have a chance to do so.
Biggest risk to me though is that you have 2 largely unproven coordinators making the play calls now ... definitely will be interesting to see how it plays out. -
If you're worried about Kwat leaving to become an HC, this makes that much more likely.UW_Doog_Bot said:

And yes, we've had this discussion for months. Lake's departure to become a DC at some point is chinevitable. You don't demote a top 5 DC to roll the dice with a guy who's never called plays, no matter how good of a position coach he is.
This won't end well. -
I think it signals that Kwat leaving for a HC gig is never going to happen unless Pete's time at UW is over.dnc said:
