Jimmy Lake to Cal

Wouldn't lake be more inclined to stay with a top upcoming program and take a better offer(NFL or college) than going to work for a D.C. Oriented coach?

Wilcox has never been a hc and could easily turn into massive micro manager. Unless the offer was a substantial raise it doesn't sound like a good career move.

Lake could pick a lot of jobs in the country if he's really dropped his dick in the FA waters. Why the fuck would he go to kal?

If he stays at UW he's in the shadow of Peterman and Kawasaki, and if he goes to Cal he's just in the shadow of the Liplicker. He can seriously burnish his credentials by turning around the Cal defense. Liplicker is young and inexperienced as HC; he'll be too busy figuring out all the aspects of the job to be micromanaging his DC.

That said, I don't think he moves to Cal for a DC job if he's already got the co-HC or asst.-HC title at UW - and the salary that goes with it. Just sayin' that you can make an argument for him doing so. Love to see him do it, but don't think he will.

You're probably giving media and fan types too much credit. If the Cal defense improves everyone will be talking about the difference between Wilcox and Dikes

I didn't know who our defensive coordinator was for two years under Petersen. I knew he was the guy that brought defense back to Montlake, even though UW is not in Montlake.

Really the same goes for Lake. I nod my head as his fan club worries about him, but other than Smiff, Petermen seems like he can put a staff together. Great coaches expect to lose their assistants.

But the media and fan types aren't the ones who make coaching hires. The people who do are always paying attention to these things, even if you're not.

I see all

edit to add that ADs are often pretty fucking stupid as well. As we all know

Race this is one of the best arguments you've made in years.

BW: Err, non sequitur?

Race: Oh, well ADs are pretty stupid too!
 
I am fucking seriously having a panic attack. We absolutely cannot lose lake this year. Given how inexperienced our secondary is.

We won't, it would be a lateral move... Pete will re-up him, LIPO before fagging the fuck out.

It's not a fucking lateral move if you're actually in charge of the entire defense and are calling plays. They only invented the "co-DC" title to trick dumb fucks like you.
 
I remember that time UW had a winning streak against Cal that began in 1977 and went into the early 2000's.

Sorry, but co-DC at UW under this head coach is better than DC. At fucking perennially-disappointing cal. Plus Lake is African American. He will get ample opportunities at much better schools to be a DC or Head Coach if he continues to perform well (which he will).

Everything I said was true. The things I didn't say that you say I said are irrelevant

Hi. Have you heard about pay grades?

Giving him the co-DC title is how they got away with bumping his salary from $390K to $500K last offseason.
 
$800,000 to be a god damn co-ordinator of an amateur football team

only in merica

It's like college football is a professional sport or something.

Except for the players because THAT would be wrong.

not to get all SJW fag but those players are exploited...how many would get in to and graduate without football or basketball ability....20% maybe

Does he call plays as a "co-DC"? There's your answer. Cal sucks, but being an actual DC would certainly be progressing his career and is certainly a better job than being a position coach at UW.

But getting back to the actual topic, none of that is to say he doesn't turn down the opportunity and wait for a better one to come along in the future. I'd bet money that Lake is still here next year.

He could get better dc jobs than Cal
 
It's all up to Jen whether Lake stays or goes.

Is she willing to invest to keep him? or, Will she sit out the bidding war and let him go to a shit program thus stabbing Pete in the back?

Except it's really not. If his goal is to be a HC and he sees a full DC job at Cal as his ticket there, he's gone regardless. Lake has made it very clear that his ultimate goal is to be a HC, and when he reaches that goal, he'll be making more bank than what Jen can offer him at his current position. It's not like they're gonna offer him 2 mil a year to stay on as DB coach.
