Haywarduck No. 1 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Lanning hired Tosh and there are other coaches who have had issues. If Lanning hired Lake as the DB coach it would pretty much guarantee great DB's and a shut down backfield. Wins over the dawgs and beavs would be much more likely. Could this happen and what would everyone say? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 2 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Great recruiter and DB coach. Pretty good DC. Only likes kids with big brains, though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownslowav8r No. 3 Share Posted December 7, 2022 No, not yet. I have to think there are equally good coaches without the poor judgment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherOD No. 4 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Are we sure Lake even wants to return to college football as a DB coach? Before taking over at the UW, I believe he was the highest paid assistant in the conference, then collected at least a year's pay and then about a $10 million dollar buy-out. I imagine he is sitting comfortably and will resurface somewhere in the NFL or as a HC at a needy collage or at least a DC once time reduces a bit of the stigma associated with his leaving the UW.

Are we a, win at all cost, school? Going down this road just further cements that we have no intestinal fortitude and dignity left. Win at all costs and when we lose then it all crumbles underneath us. I love the beholden to accountability mantra.

Haywarduck Author No. 8 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Agree integrity matters, also agree something needs to happen to upgrade our backfield. Lake would be a mistake, but it would be a mistake not to do something different in this area. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
