You can reportedly add another notable name to the college football head coach firing list.
According to a report from Yahoo! Sports college football insider Pete Thamel, the Washington Huskies are expected to fire head coach Jimmy Lake.
Lake, 44, is currently suspended for shoving and hitting current linebacker Ruperake Fuavai. The head coach has since been accused of shoving a player in 2019.
“Lake comes in on just a complete rampage pretty much, picks up Quinten Pounds and throws him into a locker,” one eyewitness told Mike Vorel of the Seattle Times. “Those lockers there were wooden lockers, and it was violent. It really caught everyone by surprise. It was really unprompted. He just kind of did that and then went on a tangent about how the offense needs to start playing better.”
Washington has reportedly had enough.
According to Thamel, Lake is expected to be fired.
“Washington is expected to fire coach Jimmy Lake today. The school will not fire him for cause and plans to pay out the remainder of his buyout, which is subject to offset,” he reports.
