The Mistake in Montlake
By 
This is really more pathetic than hilarious.
Lake finishes his tenure as the head coach at Washington with a 7-6 record. That mark would have been 7-7 if not for the 1-game suspension issued last Monday which made Bob Gregory the acting head coach for Washington’s 35-30 loss to Arizona State last night. Lake earned that suspension after a sideline incident in which Lake swiped at and shoved a player. Those actions followed up a bungled press conference in which Lake badly botched some rivalry smack talk before losing to Oregon in a game with numerous puzzling coaching decisions.
What am I saying… it’s hilarious because it’s pathetic!
Lake is owed just shy of $10 million over the next 3 years and will be paid out per his normal monthly schedule over the next 3 years unless he gets another coaching job at which point that salary will be subtracted from what he receives from Washington. We will have to wait and see what the new head coach decides but it is likely that all of the current assistant coaches will also have their remaining year bought out which would cost up to another $4-5 million.
