Sounds good and I love me some Jimmy, but if he was calling plays in the Fiesta Bowel there might be a learning curve here...

Not sure how I feel about this one. I want to keep the Kwat.

That and I'll take the known commodity at DC.

Maybe Kwat really don't care about titles

Maybe Kwat is still calling the plays

Since the Stanford game the defense never adjusted for the injuries. Just kept doing what wasn't working.

This is downright stunning news ...
First, good on Lake because that should keep him at UW at least for the next handful of years.
Second, the hire of Harris as DB coach makes a lot more sense as it is a transition of responsibilities off of Lake.
Third, this is as selfless of an act by an assistant as I've ever seen by Kwiatkowski ... I'm not sure that I've ever seen this in big boy college football. If you ever needed proof that Kwiatkowski isn't going anywhere above DC, this is your proof.
Fourth, it goes to show how important Lake is viewed by everybody on Montlake and specifically Kwiatkowski by willingly giving up a good chunk of responsibility in the face of some of the most outstanding defense played anywhere in the country the last 2+ years.
Fifth, expect a learning curve next year in playcalling with both coordinators. Bush hasn't called plays in a while now and this will be the first time that Lake has really run with the play calling reigns for an extended period of time. I've heard rumors that Lake was the play caller for the Fiesta Bowl. In each case, both will have a ramp up curve as they figure out what works and doesn't work for them.
Finally, as an aside, this is a great opportunity and example for the coaches to use their own interactions about selfless behavior and operating in the best manner for the team with this change. It's hard for any player or recruit to look at what is being done here and say that this staff operates under a double standard.

Maybe Jimmy Lake has the balls to tell Peterman that his FS offense with Brownsox at the helm is killing the defense.

You guys are dumb. They'll probably both call plays. It'll be like Tedford and Smiff (ew but poont still stands). It keeps Lake around.

My guess is that Kwiatkowski will jointly put together the game plan with Lake during the week ... Lake will largely call the plays with K in a position to be utilized as a resource.
Given the relative youth on the DL, this may also give K more time to help coach those guys up and build the next DL group.

This is so confusing for me. I don't know whether to doog or drink bleach.

Sounds like the locker room is falling apart.

I wouldn't be surprised if in key situations K is calling the plays. I'm sure it'll be a thing where they bounce ideas off each other. Also, could be a case of K wanting to work with players more instead of just gameplanning.
