Did I want them to keep the whole band together for another season? Yes, yes I did. Will I accept this because it means Jimmy Lake is almost assuredly coming back next year? Yes, yes I will.

It was building, but last night was the tipping point for their fanbase.

The crazy part is, there's a ton of sour grapes from Fuskie twitter about how they should have won that game last night.

They're lucky Oregon didn't win 41-6, honestly.

Yep, I agree STU- I think this buys Jimmy another year.

So much for the talk that UW got the better former Penn State OC.

Yes, that narrative is officially dead.

I almost cheer for Lake to not get fired like I did for Helton. (Although Helton was much more bearable than that "Motherf*****" Lake and the crap he says)

Blamed his defense not getting interceptions and turnovers on not being up 21-3. LOL!...the imbecile has an excuse for every one of their shortcomings.

Will be interesting to see what Lake does with his staff from here. So far, the changes he made to Petersen's staff that he inherited have not been good.

I honestly wonder if he'll go after Helfrich

I could see him making a run at Helfrich. Some plusses there, he knows the conference, has west coast recruiting ties. Might not excite the uw fan base though. What they might hang their hat on is that he found Mariota and went to the NCG. A lot will depend on how the dominoes fall with other openings. ASU will likely have openings and there are some rumblings in the Bay Area that David Shaw has lost his luster. Not saying Shaw would be an OC candidate, just saying there’s lots of grist for the mill here.

The upside is Jimmy bought himself another year and they come to Autzen next year.

Yeah, Lake said they had Oregon 'on the ropes' in the post-game presser.

Helfrich was actually a candidate before they hired Donovan, so I wouldn't be surprised to see his name pop up again. I wish he was with Oregon - would love to see an Oregonian in that role, especially one that we already know could take over as interim head coach if Mario decided to bolt. Probably a burnt bridge though.

Has Helf ever succeeded as OC without Chip Kelly? The NCG was with Chip’s system/playbook and Chip’s recruits. Before Chip he didn’t do much and after Chip he didn’t do much.

Helf as a QB coach - different story.

I mean, he did take a team to the NCG whether it was his recruits or not, so yeah, he can coach. Nobody ever complained about his game-planning or game-calling abilities. He just couldn't recruit and it sounds like he couldn't control the locker room over time. Phalanx just said he'd be a good interim coach if the need arose, and there's really no reason to disagree with that.
