If Lake is fired, who’s in the candidate pool?

[CallMeBigErn]

If we're being realistic and want an experienced HC with west coast-ish ties who may not jump at the earliest opportunity, I'm looking at the following...

Top? options: Sitake, DeBoer, Matt Entz (North Dakota State HC, least west coast ties of all listed here)

Slightly under the top? options, but an argument could be made: Choate, Troy Taylor (Sac State HC and passing game savant. Could be good for Huard), Aaron Best (EWU HC), Brent Vigen (Montana State HC, took over for Choate, first year HC)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalani_Sitakehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalen_DeBoerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Entz
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Choatehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Taylor_(American_football)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Besthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Vigen

Ffs Troy Taylor was run out as the OC at Utah and you want to consider him at Uw? His scheme and qb nearly killed Britain covey and scored a total of 1 TD in 2 games on us that year before he was told to LEAVE!

Okay, cherry-pick the example that doesn't make sense to you. I'm throwing it out there. Being a first-time OC for Whittingham is much different than being a HC. You know that. Taylor is doing very well at Sac State. Not saying he's my top choice by any means, but I wouldn't use his Utah first-time OC experience and Britain Covey's deaths as barometers for his HC abilities.

It’s not cherry picking that is a list for Arizona or WSU. This is not the time for your low expectations bullshit.

The post was framed around being realistic you dipshit. Not sure what your pie in the sky expectations are. Cristobal himself was a no-name hire that was trash as an HC previously. The only way we get a household name HC at UW is MAYBE if Petersen becomes AD or something. Please list your candidates so I can laugh them off the face of the earth.

This is not on brand for you… WTF.

You’re a doog and then come up with a list that doesn’t include nick saban.

Did you get some perspective on your sabbatical?

The Cristobal was trash as a hc previously is weird. Easily the most successful coach in fiu program history. Going 8-5 at fiu is more impressive than going 11-1 at Oregon.

27-47. Much wow.

The point is good coaches can come from anywhere, even ones that have been shit previously (like Cristobal). Armchair AD @FremontTroll thinks we can get Urban Saban and that UW is above getting Sitake or DeBoer. Those guys must be amateurs because they're at BYU and Fresno State. UW would never stoop so low as to hire a coach from BYU, Fresno State, or Boise State. This is THEE University of WASHINGTON. Coaches at those types of schools are peasants and could never fit in with a program of UW's incredible prestige.

I like coaches from smaller schools with track records of success. You just picked shitty ones.

Deboer or Sitake would be OK but that’s the bottom of the list not the top.

The rest of your names aren’t even in the right universe.

I was simply making a list of successful low-level coaches out west. It wasn't an exhaustive list of Big Ern's desires like you think it was. Of course I would prefer Matt Campbell. It ain't happening. I'm looking at realistic replacements. Who would you be happy with? Chip Kelly? I'm waiting to hear what amazing options you have in mind because there's a very very short list of top-shelf coaches in D1 and they ain't coming to UW. Once you get down to the James Franklin/Jim Harbaugh tier, I would rather go with DeBoer or Sitake (as long as they could recruit at a high level). I would also take Petersen back over most options.

You try to hard to fit in.

Yeah. I try hard to fit in your mom but she’s too tight.

Don’t portnoy me!

Oregon fans are pretty happy with Cristobal right now. They really have no reason not to be.

5 years removed from the worst season in 25 years, there’s a new Rose Bowl trophy behind the glass, multiple conference championships, recruiting has never been better, and he’s 6-1 against his regional rivals while currently sitting on a top 5 ranking.

Is he perfect? No….but we could do a lot worse, so we’re willing to put up with some of the small stuff.

It’s not a good time to be in the market.

The market is fine. We are just with the poors. It used to be we weren’t.

Regardless hiring is a crap shoot. It’s about rewarding the guy who has success so he never wants to leave. Also, it’s about firing the guy after year 3 if he sucks. Sooner if they are jimmy lake.

This is the real issue. UW should not be limited on who they can go after and pay. Current leadership sees this program as a top 25 challenger, not a site for a top ten elite program. The coaches list will be similar to guys WSU goes after because that will be both who displays interest under current circumstances and who the UW will pay fairly. If a better coach lands here it will be because they see an opportunity to run the Pac12, and that vision will not come from the AD.

This. Whether you liked Rick or not, he was highly thought of and they went and pursued him at Colorado when he wasn’t necessarily thinking about the uw job. Paid him a bunch and sold him on the program. Colorado was basically same level as prestige as uw back then.

IMO Pete got the program to a spot where it would be appealing to someone like the coach of Iowa fucking state. They ruined that a bit with the hiring of lake. So now $$$$ can show commitment and attract a ton of candidates. I don’t have faith that they’ll do it but that’s where we are.

Campbell can go where he wants. Right now LSU, USC and Florida is inevitable. All three won it all in the 21st century.

Maybe. Those jobs are competitive though. I don’t think he is at the top of any of those schools lists though. Iowa state is good but not great.

A coach that competent would probably dominate the pac12 right now with usc recruiting though.

Oregon’s roster will be massively upgraded next season and levels up again 2023. Mario is king right now. UW is going to bleed more talent and will have some bad holes on the roster.

Everybody downvoted your post but you are correct sir

Good news for UW is in the age of the portal, teams can fill major roster holes in a single off-season with the right coach (see; Mel tucker at msu). But lake isn’t that guy pal, he’s not that guy

Thanks. I am just the messenger.

UW needs to stop the bleeding before it’s a massive rebuild.

I want him in the PAC so badly.

I just don’t see your administration being the one to do it.

USC won’t and Oregon is taken. ASU is a sleeping giant but not sure it’s better than Ole Miss.

I think Mel is using MSU like a dirty whore to punch up. Those portal kids evaporate and the roster is severely mismanaged for the coach taking over. I think we are going to see some severely mismanaged rosters in the portal era.

I’m like 81% sure he’s talking about Gary Patterson (die if that’s the case) or Bob Stoops. It’s a guy not coaching right now.

It just can't be Patterson. He would be a terrible cultural fit for UW, and he's not exactly coaching at his best right now.
