🏈 In completely unexpected college football coaching news Chris Petersen just stepped down at the University of Washington and highly regarded UW defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake has been promoted to take over as head coach. Coach Lake actually grew up in Spokane and was a multi-sport athlete at North Central High School. Besides being a gridiron standout, he also played varsity basketball at NC for my friend Don Van Lierop, who thought quite highly of him. Pretty neat to see a hardworking Spokane kid achieve this kind of success.
