Jimmy Lake Suspended 1 Game by Washington After Appearing to Strike Ruperake Fuavai | Bleacher Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights

Washington Huskies football coach Jimmy Lake has been suspended one game without pay after an incident with linebacker Ruperake Fuavai, per Mike Vorel of the Seattle Times.

Lake appeared to strike Fuavai in the helmet during Saturday's 26-16 loss to Oregon after the player was involved in a scuffle with the opposing team. The coach denied hitting the player after the game.

"I separated him," Lake told reporters. "I didn't strike him. I separated him."

Athletics director Jen Cohen announced Monday Lake will miss the next game against Arizona State with defensive coordinator Bob Gregory serving as interim coach.

"While we do not believe that his actions were intentional or deliberate, we can have no tolerance for a coach interacting with a student in the manner Coach Lake did," Cohen said in a statement. "We have high expectations of conduct for our coaches, and we will not shy away from those expectations."
 
They're just trying to figure out how they can fire him while paying him as little as possible. Oregon has broke this program.

I am beginning to think that only Oregon is taking football serious anymore out here on the west coast.

Utah takes football seriously. They just started behind the 8 ball being in the MWC, they're starting to get things rolling. Utah is about to play for a PAC 12 title for the 3rd time in 4 seasons. They may very well win the PAC 12 this year and if they don't, it's only a matter of time. I have my doubts about USC's seriousness but we'll see with the next hire.

Washington? Nah, they're too worried cosplaying as an Ivy League school.
