Potential Head Coaches

Savage, turn the channel from Fox News to ESPN and get back to talking about football. Not the forum for politics, we are all here to consider each other's perspective on Eag football and the FCS.
Agreed. There are other forums to talk politics. This one's for EWU athletics.
 
Not that I think he would because his ego is too big to drop to FCS but Jimmy Lake got fired as DC for the Atlanta Falcons and is just "senior defensive assistant" for the LA Rams. And was a terrible HC for UW.
 
I don’t think you can judge jimmy lake from his short HC stint at Montlake. I personally think jimmy lake is a great coach, and recruiter. With ties to EWU and Spokane, that might just be the spark EWU could use.

I'd agree on Jimmy Lake. The dude has loads of money and probably wants redemption, not a giant paycheck. He's another guy from my era... always thought highly of him. He knows defense, for sure.

Maybe two big failures humbled him a bit. I still think he'd rather be a DB coach in the NFL then a FCS HC.
 

Jeez, Central Washington scored 91 points on Western New Mexico. Their 1 loss is Montana where they scored 17 points. They have the #5 offense in D2.

There is a very real chance Central may score more points on Montana then Eastern does this season.

We have a dude in our backyard in Chris Fisk that could come in a possibly get us back to normal and that's if Baldwin doesn't want to come back.

Given the modern college football landscape, if you have two quality candidates like Fisk and Lake interested, Fisk has the ability to have his talent migrate with him whereas Lake essentially starts from zero. I hate the rip-off game that happens in football every year when a coach changes schools, but it's better to play that game than ignore it.

Shit, David Riley took darn near the whole Eastern basketball team with him when he left for WSU. I feel like this is a bullshit strategy, but that's where we are in modern college sports, so it's better to be on the front end of it.

I have a strong inkling that we're only a year or two away from government intervention in the transfer process. I think college sports will eventually have a model similar to European soccer where a team gets paid when they have a player poached by a larger school. Ultimately, that's the only logical endgame. It benefits Eastern to move more sooner than later guessing that clamps are probably coming in the near future.

Honestly, for the reasons noted above, Fisk probably represents a better target than Baldwin (if he's interested). Baldwin doesn't have the ability to bring players with him. That's going to be a major driver of coaching hires nowadays.

I can't stress it enough, but I hate that it's come to this. But it's better to embrace it than ignore it.
 
Been in a funk thinking we are pretty much done for as a program....thinking the worse. Then E-Wu and Dopa lift my spirits!!!
