Coach Petersen was FIRST and RIGHT

All additional reasons why in today's world the university and the athletic department need to "own" the recruiting process fundamentally (i.e., the "GM" is a athletic department role, not one on the coaching staff), with the coaches being important stakeholders but not the organizer or driver
It's just outstripped the average football coaches ability and intelligence to understand all the rules and protocols -- and of course, you'd rather not have players tied to the coach (rather than the program, or university) if you can help it -
It's happened here.Seven_Eleven said:This isn't changing. Get used to it, or stop watching if you want, but the idea that people are going to walk away from the sport en masse is wishful thinking brought on because we are on the sphincter end of a balls deep ass-raping. The playoff, conference consolidation/relegation paid college players, etc. is going to draw eyes to the sport. Controversy and turmoil it causes will only create more conversation and eyes as people love controversy and tune it to it way more than they do when things are calm.
The fans walking away talk is the same as people that say they are leaving the country based on election results. It doesn't happen.
Sure @PurpleBaze and @Swaye cum here for the malarkey, but will they ever have the same passion for UW football that once existed? -
Speaking for myself, I'll never be able to recapture the passion I used to have for Husky Football.YellowSnow said:

There are many reasons, but I won't bore everyone with them.
I'll stay somewhat engaged with the goings on through this board, but that's it.
I watched the championship game very objectively. It didn't affect my mood at all that they lost.
And that's all I have to say about that. -

I just paid thousands of dollars to watch a coach, who had already planned his departure, trot out an unprepared team in the national championship game and take a giant dump all over every fan who made the trip to the game. Said coach has subsequently taken players away from UW and left "my school" with a gutted roster and no time to rebuild. This is coming off of a 14 - 1 season and #2 finish!Seven_Eleven said:This isn't changing.

If I wanted to watch professional football I would watch the NFL. Maybe I'm allowing my opinion to be totally tainted by my personal experience recently, but I think a lot of people in NFL-area markets are probably going through the same thought process as I am. Sure, in backwater shitholes like Eugene and Tuscaloosa, where there's jack shit to do other than smoke meth and steal catalytic convertors, fans in those towns will still show up because the college is their version of a professional franchise.
College sports are morphing into a product that appeals to people who like watching reality tv. Pretty fickle consumer to rely on when the NFL is already in existence. -
CFB was a different product within the sport of football, built on a different foundation.Seven_Eleven said:This isn't changing.

Players and coaches already dont care about "meaningless" bowl games, rivalries, or traditions. Players sit out games, coaches do interviews before the championship game. Players aren't peers with with fellow students. Stadiums pump pop music and the band is an afterthought. Local community recruiting and development is irrelevant.
If it just becomes a U23 developmental league with 1 year contracts (which is what it looks like) it wont be the product people watched or the product college football fans care about. Some will stop watching football and some will just watch the superior professional football product in the NFL.

I hope to live a long life but I just told my family I can no longer legit claim to be a Dwag fan for the rest of my life. Hell, I may not even follow college football beyond the next 5-10 years.YellowSnow said:

This is a shitshow and I don't watch reality tv.
All we are saying, is givepeaceFisch a chance. . . -
I mean, how are you supposed to have any loyalty to a (University) brand when the players and coaches change every couple of years?Houhusky said:

This. The days of following a kid from recruitment all the way through his career are dead, which sucks bigly. There’s no reason invest emotionally or financially anymore.YellowSnow said:
