Other than not running Muhammed enough in the Oregon game, I put the fumble deep in Wisconsin territory and the INT in the end zone @ Wisconsin along with the end zone INT against Oregon on Demond. Yeah he's a true soph in his first season starting but he has to know situational football. In a horrible weather slug fest at Wisconsin, you can't run around inside your own 10 or 15 yard line against a team with a horrible offense. Just take the sack.
Same for the INTs in the end zone. You're driving and either in the red zone or close to it…both times Demond had decided to go with the first read (deep pass) before the snap of the ball rather than seeing what the defense gave him. If he wants to be a back-up in the NFL, he can't do that shit when called upon.

I know it’s different but kinda reminds me of guys like Caleb and McCarthy in the NFL trying to do too much. Gotta settle down and live to fight another day. Some guys can get over it. Some can’t.

Part of the problem with the Demond ints against Wisconsin and Oregon is they were both Venn diagrams of bad QB play. Bad decisions, especially on 1st down for both and game situations where it was pretty clear early points were going to be hard to score on both sides. Then both of the throws he made were bad for what they were.

This highlights my concerns about Jedd long term.
That won't be the last "horrible weather slugfest" now that we are in the Big Ten.
We need to be more balanced and willing to run, run and more run, when the situation dictates it.
As @dtd pointed out, we have a Cristobal situation here with Jedd, where he'd rather lose his way than win.

Obviously DeBoer worked out but we're on our second straight staff where our weather doesn't work to our advantage - heavy pass and bringing in a ton of players from Arizona. It's not the biggest deal (see how it worked under DeBoer), but it's a thing. Jimmy actually had the right idea to build around a tough defense and run game. He was just an idiot who didn't recruit.

Jimmy’s deficiencies went way beyond recruiting. He was never qualified for the job and hired John Donovan to be his OC.

I'd file those things under the "idiot" part of my assessment. It's really shocking no one saw through Jimmy as being the guy. He truly was good at almost nothing as a head coach or coordinator.
 
It may be the biggest disappointment I have in Peterman. For him to pass the baton to Lake was mismanagement of the highest order. And if he really thought Lake would be a good head coach, then Peterman wasn't the high-integrity CEO many thought he was.

Always pick a successor who will fuck things up. Cements the legacy

Not like Peterman had unexercised stock options.
 
From what I've gathered, no one saw it coming. Apparently, Lake talked a good game and had been a very good recruiter so he had everyone fooled. He and Petersen were supposed to have weekly meetings and after the 1st meeting, Lake never went back. Petersen was shocked.

If that meeting thing is real that's hilarious and dumb of him. Like obviously the university cared about CPs views so why would you want to piss your boss off as a first time HC at big time school
 
Lake just kind of reminds me of companies where I've worked in industries no one gives a fuck about where the system and program set up people who were eager to take credit for shit to seem great but who were really nothing special. People like Petersen who created or are at the top of said systems tend to have blinders on and promote those people and tie them to success that was going to happen either way but then when they need to put up or shut up they're mostly just gas and fizzle out.
The difference is usually those people usually just become regional president of Howard Trunk & Trundle Bed, Northwest Region for 6 months before shriveling instead of an industry where 70,000 people put butts in seats 7 times a year.
