Is it confirmed Lake is permanent, and not just interim at this point?

Nothing yet tmk.

I haven’t seen anything that says interim, so that implies he’s their permanent hire I guess?

I’m okay with that, I guess. Only time will tell considering it’s his first job... Implies this has been in the works for a bit too, I’d think.

This makes no sense at all except he couldn’t handle the pressure here!

Kind of out of nowhere, but at least we aren't losing lake. won't know if he's a good fit for HC for at least a couple of years.

Petersen staying as an athletic advisor says this has been brewing for some time.

Only question left is does lake have the guts to fire most of the offensive staff? If he doesn't I won't be in favor.

I was just posting in one of the many threads on this in the CFB board, he’s gonna go back to G5 when he’s ready to coach again, I’d bet.

That has to be the light at the end of the tunnel here. Perfect opportunity to clean house with the offensive staff.

Flip side could be not to make more changes than he has to while he settles in and gets on top of recruiting.

Brock can lick my sack, “he saw this coming!” Please!

 

[mcnabb7542]

The wide receiver coach will stay since I’m sure that was a Lake hire!

Not for nothing but, why not call down to Cal and offer Baldwin the OC job here?

Sure you can say its a lateral move, but UW has more of the national platform then say Cal now a days!

I was a big time Baldwin fan while he was at EWU but he's flopped at Cal for the most part.

How has he flopped?
He's only been there two years, Christ its not like they had talent sitting there waiting for him to come through the door.

This is his third season at Cal and his offense has been pretty much anemic.
