Jimmy's keeping Donovan

[huskyhooligan]

Just waking up from bleach induced coma. Much like our? offense, I am a failure.

Fuck you Jen Cohen. Fuck you Jimmy Lake.

Donovan needs to go.

Dylan Morris is soft. Panics with any pressure. Too fucking short. No touch.

I'm waiting for the McGrew interviews in a couple of years when Lake is canned and he spills the beans about why he didn't play.

I just want to doog soo bad, and this abomination won't let me.

Good point and I thought he was a good OC hire away from having a good staff. But then:

1. He hires the RB coach of the shitty Jags to be his OC

2. The 2021 class closed with a wimper

3. Kwat leaves and he was the brains behind the D plus also helped Malloe out with the DL.

4. He promotes Bobby Gregory to DC rather than find a better DC who can also recruit.

5. Lake hires internally to promote a grad assistant to coach the DL.

6. Rumors circulate that Kwat couldn't stand Jimmy Lake and hated working for him.

7. The 2021 class gets off to a weak start and 4 players de-commit, with Jon Wilner pointing out the trouble brewing in August of 2021.

8. Lake loses to Montana.

9. Lake loses to Oregon State a month later and with many of the same deficiencies plaguing the team.

10. He stands by his shitty OC hire going into a bye week when it is blindingly obvious to everyone that JonDon's offense goes major stretches stalling, which tires out the D.

11. No up and coming coach would want to join this sinking ship should Smug Lake happen to keep his job so he'd be stuck with the same crappy coordinators who can't recruit. That's not exactly a recipe for success in competing for top West Coast recruits, including those from WA.

This basically describes the death spiral we are in. There is no recovery from this, just ask Goose. Only hope is to eject and take your chances. Were fuct.

Has this been legitimately reported anywhere? IIRC it was all hyper read between the lines without a lot of substance.

Don’t know…but Marcus Peters was on this one early.

Marcus Peters was misunderstood prophet.

He’d make one hell of a DB coach right now. Heard he has a great working relationship with Jimmy too

Can't see Jimmy sticking his neck out for Peters.

POTW

Firing Donovan accomplishes nothing.

Nah it actually increases the chances some key pieces stay out of the portal. Obviously firing Lake is the superior move but that isn’t happening mid season. Canning Donovan now could do some good.

I don't know, sermon seeker. I get what you're saying, but I'm not playing 4 D chess on this.

Until Lake is gone, I'm gonna have a hard time giving a shit about Husky Football right now including the transfer portal.

I'm not renewing my season tickets and am mentally prepared for Owen in '22.

Fair enough. I still have a little fight in me. I’m sure it will be in vain.

Why does it matter if people were on board with the Jimmy hire when it happened?

After plenty of evidence he's very clearly a disaster really on all fronts.

It matters because the implication is "no one could have seen this coming" which lets Jen off the hook and I disagree massively with that. I won't lie and say I thought Jimmy would be this bad (I thought he'd at least recruit decently) but I hated the hire at the time and feel my reasoning was solid. It's fine if a bunch of homer message bored poasters look past all that because they're excited about a change. It's not fine if the person in charge of the AD uses that same blind homer reasoning.

Jen fucked this up. Royally.

The problem with Jen hiring Jimmy isn’t that she hired Jimmy IMO

It’s that I guarantee she didn’t ever consider that Pete would step down or leave like he did (which in his position is 81% chicken shit to give really no notice just gone) so therefore she didn’t have a list made up of what her options were.

If she did and Jimmy was the top of the list that’s an indictment on her hiring decisions that we already know sucks ass

If she did and all her top options turned her down and Jimmy was left then so be it

But I think we know that the reality is that she was blindsided and made a rushed panicked hire in the name of continuity

This right here. I think she wants to win but has no idea how to do it and because she thought Petersen walked on water, she didn’t have a back up list of potential hires and Jimmy was either the path of least resistance and/or a panic hire.

That was my alternate but I had to stick with the original.
