Here's the one way this could potentially go really well for us - if this means Lake is going to spend just as much time recruiting but now focus on other positions. I think Harris can keep DB recruiting at or near current levels. If Lake is now going after Bucks and DT's my criticisms of this move may look foolish down the road.

My fear is this just means Lake spends less time recruiting overall.
maybe somehow lake ends up just as good as Kwat anyways.

You know in your heart the chances of this are extremely slim. The law of averages has no mercy.

Of course, I’m just throwing that out there. The scheme is not going to change, the other DC is still here, hopefully the talent keeps improving as that is where a lot of our problems lie right now.

It’s just going to be a different play caller on game days, although the old one will be right there too. I’m not a big fan of the move, but I don’t think it spells doom at all.

Pete is finally seeing the light on Kwat after ASU, Furd, Pedo.

These downvotes are more hurtful than Tequilla’s critique of my NBA scoreboard updates.

This is so confusing for me. I don't know whether to doog or drink bleach.

Split the diff with a Tide Pod.

There's a lot more ways for this to go badly than to go well.

Really hard to imagine it making us better.
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.

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.</p>
If you're worried about Kwat leaving to become an HC, this makes that much more likely.

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.

This does not happen unless Kwiatowski either came up with the idea or was 100% behind it. He isnt going anywhere, He is tied to Petersen.

But I only point out the times Tequilla is wrong...Tequilla takes are spot on in this thread.

I think Kwiat cares more about helping his colleague achieve Head Coaching than holding the position he will resume to hold and plans to stay at once Lake leaves. I don't know shit though so get your salt.
