I get it. You won, say what you want. Just surprises me. As class a guy as Petersen seems to be, he employs a guy that just seems so low rent.
 
Where was his defense against Oregon ? Inquiring minds want to know ?

Also if this guy is such a stud why isn't he a Head Coach somewhere ?

There are a number of P5 coaches younger than him, you would think someone would take a shot at someone with such "talent".

Slow clap.... great job a.ss hole.

You won against a timing and speed based offense in low visibility/ice , one year with the QB with a broken wrist and starting lb missing, one without the starting slot receiver, and other years with the starter out a broken leg, or other reasons.

Slow clap.

Can’t really disagree with most of it. The last part is a stupid cheap shot that probably shouldn’t be taken by a guy who’s won ZERO games as a head coach towards a coach who’s won 132 and counting.

Jimmy Lake is a nobody compared to Mike Leach in the coaching world and odds are never will come close to what Leach has accomplished.
 
Not sure I disagree with him. Also, he backs it up.

He backs it up in this game.

But it is stupid shallow smack talk from a team that has drastically underperformed anybody's expectations this year. Wonder what his words of profound wisdom were after the Oregon game ?

He may think that type stuff is cute when he says it , but it also explains why he is probably a lifelong assistant and hardly mentioned for Head Coaching gigs.
 
Never got a sniff by WSU & went to EWU.

Many GSL kids hold a torch vs WSU for not getting a chance. Truth be told, the GSL has very very few D1 talent. So a kid like Jimmy, who makes All-League his senior year, Yet has 4 career Varsity wins in 3yrs, thinks he better than he is.

So be it.

Yea...we should have switched to the wishbone offense just for this week. That would have really fooled him.
.

Right? Having an extreme system doesn't really make for any on the fly meaningful adjustments. Even if you put something in during the off season it will be on tape all year anyway. With Leach you get what he runs and it isn't changing drastically. I still maintain that it gives a school in our situation the best chance to win a lot more games then we lose and if that means you end up with a team or two that are perennial bad match ups, so be it. It sucks that it's them, but whatever. I still wouldn't trade for less wins yearly, but beating them more often.
 
I don't care if he's 100% right, it's tacky just to say it.

You don't walk up to strangers on the street and tell them they're fat, do you? You may be right, but you're still an asshole.

Whatever, it's not that big a deal. Dude is just kind of a chump.
 
Jimmy Lake has something in common with both Mike Leach and Chris Petersen. None will ever win a natty as head coach.

Edit: ...and there is no shame in that.

Agree. Lake looks like an idiot. The weather was a factor and Leach should have a set or two for these conditions.

Defense was playing too close to the line and got caught off guard.

Playing in the snow. You can run straight up and down. Cutting isn’t so well.

I'm looking forward to him taking over a FBS program and having no clue how to run an offense.
 
I can't even imagine what Don James would do if one of his assistants talked so much sh*t.

I'm hoping Lake gets the job at Colorado. Karma is a nasty bitch.

That said, there are truths in what he says but that's for WSU's coaching staff to figure out how to address those tendencies they can control.
 
After sleeping on it , personal theory of why UW is being so over the top with their comments on a 28-15 game that was a one score game fairly late into the 3rd Quarter.

All they had to hear from the Oregon game forward was Cougs this and Cougs that, while they were getting zero attention. This is a classic "hey look at me" , aren't we great reaction. Still think they could show a little class but I guess that is not their style. They are fools if they think all of that post game trash talk is good look for them to unbiased people outside the state of Washington.

Well they have the attention back on them, let's see what they do with it. Is Jimmy Lakes excuse if they get smoked by Utah or tOSU it was because they changed their offense too much. Also his statements are basically saying he so much smarter than all of the other P12 coaches that have not stopped the air raid, doubt that if making him real popular with that group.

I actually felt OK with being down only 20-15 late in the third. It could have been much worse, sort of like the past four ACs that were over by half time. Still stings to lose, however.

Jimmy Lake is a rocket surgeon!
 
WSU wide receivers caught a grand total of 12 passes. Winston and Patmon each had one reception. The passes to running backs in the flat were sniffed out before the ball left Minshew’s fingers. Was Lake a jerk? Sure. Was he right? Absolutely.

I think the MO is to bait us into those short passes, right?

But the other 10 defensive assistants in P12 face the same air raid that he does every year, is he inferring that he is a genius and they are all idiots ?

If that is the case why is this guy buried as an assistant and not a hot commodity head coaching prospect ? He is technically not even that young when you consider how many younger or same age guys are already heading up P5 programs , many now for multiple years.

You would think that it would be time for some program to tap into this untapped genius and hire him to lead their program. I will hide and watch to when that happens.

The offense is based on short passes.....7.3 yards per clip. The balls to the flat were the last option and took time...long enough to be covered when they happened. That and dictating when they were going to run.

Everything he said is true . Same game plan. But funny thing because of that so is uw’s.

But I agree let the press and pundants speak his truth. Not Lakes place .
