Mario strongly implied that anyone criticizing Coach Lake was doing so because of racism.

Mario said that if someone hasn't played football for UW then they do not have the right to criticize.

As if some white coach who has a disastrous recruiting class, hires the NY Jets groundskeeper as his OC, and then caps it off with a loss to Montana, isn't going to be heavily criticized?

Mario and his enabling behavior is part of the overall culture problem at UW.
 
Totally agree

I like Mario and what he did for the Dawgs and Quakers, but losing at home to Big Sky teams is a fireable offense at UW. He ought to know that. Playing the race card is lame as hell.
 
Never heard of this dude.

Searched.....

Mario Bailey is a retired American football wide receiver who is the all-time reception leader in NFL Europe. He played for the Frankfurt Galaxy from 1995 through 2000 and was a favorite player for the local German fans. He was originally drafted by the Houston Oilers in the sixth round of the 1992 NFL Draft. Wikipedia

Now I know why.

In 1991 he had better numbers than Desmond Howard who won the Heisman. Mario caught 17 TDs in 1991 alone.
 
White coaches never get criticized.

He also later created spin when someone called him out for implying the race card

Nobody wants to see Jimmy fail … but at some point results matter
 
Using woke rhetoric to defend mediocrity is a perfect representation of this program. Its gonna be special when Jimmy puts his pronouns in his twitter bio after getting blown out next week

It’s basically the definition of the West Coast as a whole right now

Black coaches only get jobs at the most downtrodden programs.
 
Mario's right, but about the wrong thing. I'm on record that three out of four of the games LAST season were fireable offenses (first and right, btw), but everyone gave a COVID pass for reasons that are still beyond me and instead bitched about the less important aspect of winning that is recruiting (see also: Oregon and USC). Some even were complimentary of the new offense (you know who you are), dooged out over big-dick comebacks (ignoring how inexcusable it is to dig 17 and 21 point first half holes in the first place), and got a boner over the ice-in-veins QB who couldn't play more than one good quarter per game or resist the urge to overthrow every deep ball he attempted.

But, no, it was the recruiting that's the real failure, not just one of many.

And, right or wrong, the language people used to express this frustration--at least here--has been a little loaded, or at least I could see how it would seem so to certain people. The word "lazy" in particular is one known to get the hackles up, yet it came up early and often, in a way that made it seem as if conclusions were being jumped to. Comparisons to Ty aren't helping those optics, either, particularly because their respective incompetence is nothing alike.

Lake needs to be fired. Today. Cohen is ultimately responsible, so start with her. New coach can choose what assistants to boot or keep. But this message would resonate better with some fans and former players if the critics focused from the beginning on coaching, hiring, and, sure, recruiting incompetence instead of, "The offense is improved, the quarterback has a huge dick, this team should roll the conference--oh, but he's lazy and Ty 2.0."

I'll give you this, in regards to the comparisons to Ty. I have seen that a few times on here, with people quickly drawing comparison to Willingham. And I have thought, "Why Willingham? A more apt comparison is Gilby. Great assistant coaches who have no business being a head coach."
 
I want to be clear: I doubt a single person here has been down on Lake because he's black. The language might have fooled some, though. I'm not surprised a black former player might be defensive.

Solid post

You and I were right about the myth of the great talent

And the lazy remarks pissed me off which is why I went after that poster

Then we lost to Montana

Just keep the call for firing classy Nebraska fans
 
It's just a lazy comparison that I have been guilty of as well because it's now plausible that UW goes 0-12.

The lazy remarks have persisted to this day, from multiple posters. It's a consensus, not an outlier.

Why is asking if someone who happens to be black racist? It takes a lot of effort and commitment to be great at anything.

Is he lazy or is the charge unjustified? I recall Helfrich and he staff being called a "lazy" recruiters. Can you call a black person lazy if they are lazy?
