The beginning of the end of the Jimmy Pond experiment...

Boy, are we rooting for ASU now more than ever.  Can you imagine a W by uw with a stand-in HC.  We need the same ole result of a BIG L, so they can get back to extending Jimmy.

WOW, I forgot to add that seems a bit harsh of just "separating two players" !

A game between two lame-duck coaches?  Can they both lose?

 

I WANT Washington to win and keep Lake on-board!

Man oh man, the Ducks were the catalyst for a whole bunch of Husky doo-doo.

 

The OC gets fired, the HC gets suspended.

 

Prowess!

A "bit" harsh? I'm happy to be teeing it up on the back 9. 

Athletic director Jen Cohen said in a statement that the school had spent the past 24 hours reviewing video of the incident as well as talking to Lake and Fuavai and other players and staff before arriving at their decision.

 

"While we do not believe his actions were intentional or deliberate, we can have no tolerance for a coach interacting with a student in the manner Coach Lake did," Cohen said.

 

I guess Cohen needs some prowess with the definitions of "intentional' and "deliberate".  Someone must have picked up the banana peel that caused the incident off camera.

 

 

That is what a top research university does, research a video for 24 hrs. Sure glad the dawgs aren't in charge of video review on the field.

 

 

What a joke

I suggest that the U Dub elevate their long snapper to Offensive Coordinator. 

This puppy coach is on a very shot leash. 

 

Hopefully they keep Lake. Charles is right on. He will be the architect that drives them back to 0-12.

 

He drives recruits to MC and the Ducks fold. Yes........

My favorite words read today!

 

Lake was asked in a follow-up question if he regretted striking Fuavai.

"I separated them. I didn't strike him. I separated them," Lake said.

Is Lake apologizing for his prowess in being a model UW Husky?

It seems like only yesterday that Woofytown was calling Jimmy the second coming of Don James.

I live near a lake. When the lake is suspended, the Ducks rise.

I'm actually glad cohen opened her big mouth. How can you fire a coach "with cause" for unintentional or indeliberate acts? At this point it guarantees that lake will either get his buy out or kept through the off season. 

 

Right now UW is in a situation of all around bad... 

 

1. if they fire lake for cause they won't be able to hire a good coach because every coach will see not only the pasquinade the UW Athletic department is but they won't be able to guarantee they will get their money if they inevitably underperform.(also UW will be in a huge lawsuit because lake will look to get his money)

 

2. If the fire lake for performance, the department is less of a farce but you still have Cohen making the hire. She hasn't made a single good hire between men's and women's basketball and football and the fact that she has worked at UW for over 23 years means she really doesn't have the sports connections outside of the conference.

 

3. fire Lake and then cohen gets fired. This may literally be the best option but who becomes the interim head coach, because you can't have an interim AD hire your next head coach. At this point Bob gregory would be the likely pick at IHC but we all know the UW fans will pretend that Peterson will come back to coach uw

 

4. Don't fire Lake. If lake isn't fired, that means he needs to hire an OC and at this point who wants to work at UW, the lack of recruiting along with transfers has shrunk the talent this team has significantly. They current head coach has limited qualifications and no real experience as a HC. and finally the head coach just used his last OC as a shield to keep his job an additional year.

And I think your options are "good-or-good-or-good!"

Scott Frost will be back at Nebraska. He is taking a $1M cut in salary and 4 assistant coaches have been canned,

If true, with all the HC job openings plus this one if it comes up, lots of coaches are going to be paid. I think this group will include Mario one way or the other?

I had been thinking about that and meaning to post about it, it seems like there are more large school P5 head coaching jobs open than usual... does that sound right or am I just misremembering?

By far the most jobs and some are Blue Blood jobs, opening up during the season than I can ever remember? Early signing day has made it imperative to get a new HC on board ASAP.

Dang, how are they going to find anyone worse?  If this is true, then Redd should be named the Husky MVP of the year!
