Sounds like it's almost a done deal. Massive hire for Texas and a massive loss for Washington. With all of his ties to the UW staff, Texas must have just thrown a ton of money at him. Pac-12 further falling off the cliff due to the revenue gap.

Yeah that's a great pickup

He makes 1.1 mil, so he must be about to make 1.8 or 2

Looking at his bio... is it accurate that Petersen brought him in as DC originally, and Lake as just dB coach. Then one point promoted Lake to co-DC, and then later Lake to DC, and Kwiatowski demoted?

Really excited and glad to have the DC hired. Very curious what it took to money whip him to Austin.

That was Coach K's idea. Lake was approached by multiple schools to become the DC so Coach K offered to step down into the co-DC role in order to promote and keep Lake. They have been friends for a long time which is why I'm shocked he's even considering leaving.

This is the guy I kept bringing up for LSU's DC, but seemed like I was the only one.

Sark might actually make Texas a powerhouse again.

Rumor is that Texas offered $6M over 3 years, all guaranteed. He was making $1.1M at UW.

Multiple people are confirming that it's a done deal.

Bama was one of those schools, Saban wanted Lake for a long time.

I guess LSU isn't as good as Texas and Alabama!
