Yesterday, the University of Washington fired head football coach Jimmy Lake. Here is a look at the University of Washington football program since 2008 (the first year that of complete data I have). This time period only covers the last season of head football coach Tyrone Willingham (2008), Steve Sarkisian (2009-2013), Chris Petersen (2014-2019) and Jimmy Lake (2020-2021*). After the figure below is a more detailed look at the Washington Huskies football program during head coach Lake's tenure based on the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model using data provided by www.cfbstats.com.
