    K probably moves right back to DC after the year. I doubt this arrangement lasts longer than a year, two tops.

    Strange move. Maybe K is one of those guys that misses having a small group to coach. I’ve heard coaches talk about missing being a position coach.

    Just weird. I can’t recall a coordinator of the top defense in the conference (for 2 straight years, possibly 3?) getting demoted.

    The danger is if this doesn’t work well and Lake doesn’t get hired away, then what do you do? Would Pete demote Lake? Would Lake accept a demotion?

    Best case scenario is Lake crushes it and gets hired away in the next 24 months. If that doesn’t happen... *shudder*.

    Maybe he knows how to stop someone on 3rd down in "big" games?

    This is downright stunning news ...

    First, good on Lake because that should keep him at UW at least for the next handful of years.

    Second, the hire of Harris as DB coach makes a lot more sense as it is a transition of responsibilities off of Lake.

    Third, this is as selfless of an act by an assistant as I've ever seen by Kwiatkowski ... I'm not sure that I've ever seen this in big boy college football. If you ever needed proof that Kwiatkowski isn't going anywhere above DC, this is your proof.

    Fourth, it goes to show how important Lake is viewed by everybody on Montlake and specifically Kwiatkowski by willingly giving up a good chunk of responsibility in the face of some of the most outstanding defense played anywhere in the country the last 2+ years.

    Fifth, expect a learning curve next year in playcalling with both coordinators. Bush hasn't called plays in a while now and this will be the first time that Lake has really run with the play calling reigns for an extended period of time. I've heard rumors that Lake was the play caller for the Fiesta Bowl. In each case, both will have a ramp up curve as they figure out what works and doesn't work for them.

    Finally, as an aside, this is a great opportunity and example for the coaches to use their own interactions about selfless behavior and operating in the best manner for the team with this change. It's hard for any player or recruit to look at what is being done here and say that this staff operates under a double standard.

    This was 1,000 words about how keeping Don Pellum on staff was a good idea.

    Kawasaki sees we have no heat on the edge. He is commiting all his energy into juicing up the engines of His latest models to match Kawasaki 2013-2014.
