I remember when Lake was on CU’s long list with Tucker. Got to give RG credit for dodging that bullet. Agree he’d be a great DC for us, but there’s not enough room for his ego.

The 2021-2022 Coaching Carousel

Someone once told me that UW was a "have," not a "have not."

They should toss in a house for KD too.
The carousel is going to be awesome this year

It already is.
However bad John Donovan is, he wasn't leading the worst offense in FBS for the majority of the season.
I look at a guy like Lake and wonder if he just made a bad OC hire. That's obviously a big part of the job, but some good head coaches have made big mistakes in that way.
When we were looking at Lake, I questioned if he ever had been the real DC there at UW given Kwiatkowski was always on staff and had been Pete's DC for years.

I really wanted Lake here, but he has been pretty bad at Washington. The recruiting should be miles better considering his pedigree.

We beat the FCS team we played. Washington didn't.
Lake checked a lot of the boxes, which points to the fact that it’s still somewhat of a crapshoot unless they are one of a half dozen proven top tier coaches. Hell, Mullen is kind of an ass, but I never thought he’d ever be this bad at Florida. On paper, that seemed like a good hire.
Oregon State gets torched by Colorado and fires their DC. Seems reasonable.
He didn't even crack 400 yards of offense to do it. Impressive. Granted, you could combine 3 or 4 of our prior games and not match that output.

Facing another DC whose seat is on fire next week too. Chip treats Azz with kid's gloves, but he also needs to go.

Good. That's the dude with the beard on their staff right?
Let's light them up too.

Yeah. Chip protects him for some reason. He hasn't talked to the press in years.
I too would fire my DC if they gave up a season high to the worst offense in FBS football.
Allsome!! If our staff is all getting fired anyway let’s see how many others they can take down in a blaze of glory.
And they have a winning record.
Weird
As has been proven by my judgment in the past, I'm not a great predictor of who will be a successful HC. Let's just say I'm skeptical that this guy will be successful at TT given:
- He's coached for 5 seasons in college and never as a coordinator.
- Is a holdover from the Rhule staff- Rhule did not take him to Carolina, and Baylor hired outside of the program instead of promoting this guy
- 5 seasons ago had never coached outside of HS.
- Is almost 50 and goes by the name "Joey"
Also per this thread you've posted in, Miami. Pay attention.
