I don't know how Huard is because they entirely fucked up how and when to use him.
He's obviously improved, but still has some of the issues we had problems with. The difference is he joined a staff that knows how to play offensive football. They played to his strengths and worked away from his weaknesses. You know, like real football coaches do.
No coach or team is ever gonna say they aren’t competing for championships and doing what they feel gives them the best chance of winning now (unless it’s the Mariners
). But let’s be real, do we really want a one off kid who already had his chance here just because it might make a smoother transition? Especially when considering all your eggs are in one basket considering long term at that position at this point? Go with the guy you already have, he has to be the future if you don’t want to get locked into relying on the transfer portal or one off graduate transfers for the foreseeable future. Get him learning on the job.
Well, that's the other question. Does Sam jump in the portal if Jake comes? Obviously if that was a thing there is zero chance I would take Jake.No coach or team is ever gonna say they aren’t competing for championships and doing what they feel gives them the best chance of winning now (unless it’s the Mariners
We can’t know if Huard would leave, my guess is he wouldn’t because of the family legacy, if nothing else, but who can really know?
Can't lose to WSU two years in a row and they have a pretty legit QB. Whoever gives them the best chance at being able to plant a W at their midfield is my vote. If that's Sam all year with time to grow before that game, then let's go.
Just bailing, then coming back a couple years later when he can get his way is bad enough, but then factor in he’d be coming in and doing the same thing that caused him to not have a real opportunity to win the job when he was here to begin with just makes it even more gross. But so be it I guess, that’s where the game’s at now. We can hate it, but it’s not going to go away.
There are lots of things flying around the school that several other kids are coming to UW that played for DeBoer, but I don't know much about kids at that level. Just adds more cred that Jake is at least leaning this way.
Kraken looking good lately. Good shit.Ducks got entirely undressed again and the Kraken won a pretty important game against the Oilers.
Not a bad day at all.
They scored just seconds in and lead most of the way. I was still nervous the whole game. Not only was that one of the leagues top team, but we were missing a ton of our main players. Winning that kind of a game is huge.
They’ve had a pretty brutal stretch, and managed to make it their best run of the season, by far.
Been weird. They were bad against bad teams and have been very good against great teams. Hopefully they are over the new car smell and building off this streak to keep it going. They are like 2 points behind the kings in the standings and moving in the right direction.
Like I said above lets see it play out if he does come back here.
DeBoer's words about recruiting made it sound like we are shattering the end of OKG. Looks like he's going to be much more aggressive in recruiting. No idea how much success they will have, but I'm glad they are no longer limiting their efforts in some misplaced sense of honor in a landscape that has long since forever changed.
