How long of a leash will Jimmy get?

For reference, since Jimmy….like Helfrich…is following a very successful coach in Chris Petersen:

- 2013 11-2 PAC12n Champion Alamo Bowl W

- 2014 13-2 PAC12 Champion Rose Bowl W NCG appearance

- 2015 9-4 Alamo Bowl L

- 2016 4-8 Helfrich Fired
 
With Helfrich the defense bottomed out so fast that it made it easy for Oregon.

That won't happen at Washington.

It's hard to fuck up offense that bad. They won't turn it over at the same clip Pete's shit offense was in 2018/19

Jimmy will never go 4-8

Helfrich is closer to Willingham than Jimmy is.

Jimmy is Sark without the USC pedigree.

That said, I don’t see Sark whiffing this badly on generational in-state talent crops.
 
Sark whiffed too

And sucked

Jimmy will be DC at Bama in 2 years then get the head job at Auburn

Remind me who Sark whiffed on. I honestly can’t remember….which is why I’d assumed he collected on the in state kids at least.

Between the two, you'd probably rather have Helfrich. At least you can rip the band aid after his 4th season. If Jimmy stuffs the board with 8-5, 9-4, 7-6 the next three seasons, do you see him getting fired? I don't. Mediocrity has a tendency to stick around longer, and long term can be much more damaging to a program. We already know that Pete was the reason Jimmy could recruit. Without the closer, Jimmy is floundering. It doesn't take long for lackluster recruiting to start reflecting in the standings.

I have no idea but someone does

I know we lost a lot of guys under a lot of coaches

Seems like ducks are more interested in Jimmy getting fired than Sark

Interesting

I’m interested in whomever the UW coach is getting fired, I guess.
 
I am trying to figure out why you think Peterman is "very successful".

I remember him losing big games, losing games he never should have, and giving up.
Won loss record doesn't make a coach very successful

Sark whiffed on a few, the one I remember the most right now is Budda Baker who committed to Oregon while Sark was our HC. Petersen flipped Baker when he got here.

Miles Jack is another that stands out... Sark lost him to UCLA.

This article has a few other names.https://www.si.com/college/washingt...s-budda-bakers-flip-from-oregon-to-washington

To Sark's credit though, he got us some studs out of California... some guys that weren't the OKG types that Petersen preferred.

Allegedly Sark picked Big Sky over Heaps.

Max Browne was a big one.

Myles Jack the biggest.

So then you weren't paying attention when he whiffed on generational in-state talent crops.

As badly as Jimmy fucked up the 2021 in-state class, Sark's double header in '12 and '13 was legendary. Banner, Garnett, Browne. All 5 stars. All gone. Russell, Jack, Dozier, and Mattingly. Whiff. We managed to corral fucking Jeff Lindquist and Sean Constantine.
 
Shit I guess I’d forgotten how badly Sark shit his pants with WA kids.

Guess we’ll see with Jimmy, who at least isn’t a womanising drunk(that we know of I guess)
