Nor should they(?).
Did the Donovan hire alter your faith in Jimmy Lake?

Nor should they(?).

Perhaps this is good thing. I want the kids HUNGRY and not reading their own press

Per usual @YellowSnow, our slow strategy white man brains have synced up like a sorority house menstrual cycle.
I haven’t yet expressed my feelings on the Donovan on the bored until now. I’ve been traveling a lot and haven’t been poasting much, but I’ve read the bored and all it’s thoughts.
Typically I’m pretty even keeled compared to this community and lack the extreme hot takes, but everything about this hire screams what the fuck to me.
Other valued poasters have already deep dived into how bad Donovan’s offenses have been and how his resume is a heaping pile of flaming dog shit. Every candidate has question marks, but fuck me, this guy is red flag central.
I’m confused because Lake said he wanted to go with an offense that he would hate to defend himself. He wanted an offense that would be aggressive, attacking, physical, and dominating. Donovan’s offenses haven’t been that previously.
Lake took 3 weeks to make this hire. He didn’t pick any of the seemingly well valued candidates that were available and the entire country is dumbfounded and making fun of UW. It’s a universally lambasted hire.
And the only thing I have going for me is that LSU fans were apoplectic when Orgeron was hired because he was a retread who failed at Ole Miss. literally that’s the only thing.
Everything about this hire (and the TE hire) screams massive mistake that is underwhelming. But Lake has succeeded at everything he’s done.
Talent evaluation: check
Player development: check
Recruiting wins head-to-head against big programs: check
Top 10 defense in up year and top 25 defense in down year: check
Lake mocks spread offenses and shits on the Air Raid and the Run / Shoot. He finds them easy to defend. The fans hate it but keep everything in front and don’t give up big plays and bend all over the field but give up sub 20 points a game. It’s exactly what the Titans just did to the best offense in the NFL with Jackson racking up yards but not scoring.
So while everything in me is screaming NowthwesternKidOhMyGod.gif, I’m trying my best to believe Lake believe his own shit too much and didn’t try to outsmart the room on this one. It feels like he did, but he has always had exotic schemes and formations that is the opposite of what everyone else does.
The doog in me says Lake truly believes Donovan learned from his time in the NFL. That there will be a power run scheme with play action that will control the clock, beat down the opposing defense, and keep Lake’s defense fresh. Zig will everyone else is zagging. Play defense and power run while everyone else is playing spread and gassing their own defenses with 90 plays a game.
I want to die, but I’m forcing myself to believe no matter how bad I want to fight it. I’m officially on the @Woof and @GreenRiverGatorz train. Lake knows something the rest of us don’t, and we are all idiots who think they know everything when we actually know nothing. Everyone hates this hire, which means it’s likely going to work out.
Fuck me, it’s hard to stay optimistic but it’s in my nature.

It's almost like past success doesn't guarantee future success and previous failure doesn't pre-ordain future suckiness.

Drink that Kool Aid @DoogCourics !
Frankly, I'm mainly being optimistic because I think that most everyone in life is a terrible prognosticator. Donovan's track record is pretty underwhelming, and I'm still not exactly sure what the hell we're doing, but obviously Jimmy has something up his sleeve. We'll find out soon if it works or not, so until then, let's doog!

@firepete now @FireCohen . I am a lunatic, but I called it
You got close on Pete. But he offed himself so you don't get the glory. There's no where near enough evidence on Jimmy. If he goes 6-6 in year 1 and the offense sucks, then we'll have it.

I agree but it surprising after all the leveling up talk. But when you don’t have a QB, you get slept on, especially when you go 8-5 the year before.

Here’s my feelings on the Coach Lake era so far in Star Wars gifs:
Pete unexpectedly resigns, Lake named HC...
Hamden and others let go...
After the rumor mill says Moore will be our next OC, he opts to stay with the Cowboys...
Donovan inexplicably named OC, with no introduction presser...

I'm a wait and see guy anyways but I think he's had quite a rocky start. He seems like the type of guy that wants to exert his dominance when there is no reason to. I mean, why fire Bush and Paopao just to make 2 underwhelming hires. Not BDE.
