...is a bad first sign.
It's an arms race and you're voluntarily putting yourself behind the 8 ball. Not great.

There won't be any. #UncommonUnity
It's not thrilling to hear, but part of me thinks he's just trying to keep the recruiting class together for the time being and once they get past signing day he can figure it out. Not sure that's the order I'd choose.

I'm starting to warm up to this hire,
mostly because I like saying "Jimmy" and, as a die-hard Hurricane, I like shit talkers.
Sign me up for a seat on the Jimmy Train.

please believe people will know they are fired and others will have been all but hired before the bowl game.
dude has had this job for 24hrs, i get that he doesn't want to announce firings at his intro press conference.
everything he said about taking aggressiveness and a passion for strategy to the other phases = offensive staff changes are coming.

I have no doubt he'll be in touch with candidates via back channels over the next month. Anyone he's trying to hire will likely finish out their season in their current roles as well. No point in going into the bowl game short staffed.

He also talked #UncommonUnity at least three tims. Don't hold your breathe.

Pete's still the boss, there's just no way Lake can come in now and start making changes without looking completely disrespectful to Pete.
He has to wait.
I'm not excited about this move but anyone who thought firings were coming today or this week was setting themselves up for disappointment.

Jimmy literally can't fire anyone till after the bowl game since he's not the head coach until then. You really think Pete wants his last move as head coach to be firing guys he's known for twenty years? Calm down.
Plus, we need to current staff to stay in tact until after signing day to keep the current class in tact through signing day.
Reading between the lines, Jimmy's comments about being "aggressive" on offense and punting on the the coaching staff question indicates pretty heavily that he's going to be firing some coaches.

Thankfully we're likely going to get one of those shitty bowls that takes place well before the New Year, so we won't have to wait too long.

Agreed.
Also:
Intact is one word, so make sure when you type it out, you keep it intact.

Good points made by everybody.
The most interesting part of the press conference was when asked about the difference between himself and Pete, Jimmy talked about "the focus on the X's and O's and football strategy." I understand Pete viewed coaching as more than just football, and building men, but dude... Your first job is as a football coach. Had strategy to, you know, actually winning games taken that much of a backseat? I know it seemed like it from the outside, but that's a pretty damning quote.

Too late. After Damone and I exposed Goebbels aka OBK and his white hot hatred for Latinos, I declared by re-switch in allegiance and now hate Oregon as much as OBK hates brown folk, which is a lot of hate I might add.
The Cane love is constant and unwaivering; can't be helped and is completely congruent with Husky fandom.

Well, rash firings can be overrated.
Again, I point you all toward Manuel Francisco Diaz. An actually good D coordinator who brings a lot of flash and saucy personality, he fired every fucking body right away.
And, here we? are at 6-6 with another loss to Duke. Duke.
Maybe Jimmy wants to keep the staff classy, so in tact works. Did you ever think about that? Well, did you?
No wonder Mrs @DoogCourics is leaving you for @Doog_de_Jour . No imagination or outside the box[/i][/b] creativity.
