Buddy and I made the trek to Ann Arbor and sat behind the Husky bench.
Before I get to my point, fuck off to anyone who says The Big House is boring. It was an incredible atmosphere. Puts Husky Stadium to shame. Not a single advertisement anywhere in stadium, so fans and band and PA are in unison for singalongs, chants, the whole thing. Awesome environment.
Back to the misery… Despite the electricity and our senior DL captain calling out the “malaise” on the sideline last week, it was the most lethargic and lifeless sideline I’ve ever seen…from kickoff to us walking out in the 4th. Here’s the thing, tho, that really became clear:
Jimmy is clueless how to run a team.
He didn’t huddle with any position group at timeouts. He didn’t correct or discipline any player, like Dom or KamFab, after stupid/bad plays. All he did was pace back and forth and maybe talk to the refs here and there. I can’t remember a head coach looking more detached from his team than Jimmy. And this was a guy who was super animated (cue Jordan Miller Utah pick) as a DB/DC coach. I truly don’t think Jimmy knows how to be a head coach. Like, we know he doesn’t know how to hire or recruit coaches. But my god, I can’t believe he gets paid $3mil/year just to pace the sidelines and not even coach…during a game!
Also, ya know how we raise our helmets on kickoff? Not a single player did it, save for Sawyer Racanelli, a fucking freshman. No Otton, no Bowman, no Morris… Guys we’re laughing on the sideline in the 4th.
From the top down, the whole thing makes no sense and is rotten. It’s clear Jimmy is trying to be someone he is not.
