This could be a red herring though, like the fake punt against Stanford (Shaq didn't audible out of it when he should've but Petersen took the blame for him).
People always want to blame the coaches but how do you know that Petersen or Jonathan Smith didn't tell Miles to wait until a few seconds were on the clock before clapping for the snap? IIRC, Miles asked for the snap with 7 seconds on the clock (whether Petersen or Smith told him or not, he should still know that himself) and it was 1:35 left and Arizona had a TO.
Do you put the ball in the hands of your RS-SR RB who has never fumbled or do you risk another wild snap back to a punter who already dropped the ball against ASU earlier in the year?
Basically, if Cooper holds onto the ball, people aren't talking about clock-management issues in the slightest but since he carried with one arm (how many coaches in high school and college told him to use two arms, 3 different coaching staffs?!?) and fumbled, people are looking at that.
It actually pisses me off because we should be looking at the remaining Sarkisian Sloppiness. The 13 penalties, Miles acting like a retard with the ball, and the giving up a TD on a fake FG when it was a chip-shot and we weren't going to block it. The bad snap on the PAT. THOSE ARE THE FUCKING REAL THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED!
I finally listened to the postgame interview and the chart thing. It seemed odd to say it the way he did. My guess was he was protecting an assistant or Cyler/Coop.
The way I see it, the fake FG was the worst coaching mistake in the game. Before they even lined up, I turned to my wife and said, "RichRod ain't kicking this." The defense was completely unprepared for it.
Wait till next year or just wait in two years this team will be special.... The mantra of the husky dan base.
Without hope? What else do you have?
Well except if you are justin verlander hope concern you.
At some point the mantra of "Wait until *insert year here*" is actually true when you have a coach you trust. That mantra was bullshit with coaches like Gilby,Ty, and Sark. It is not bullshit with a coach like Petersen. That is my opinion, others can disagree with me, and that is fine.

If I remember right, the point spread on that osu game was 41 points. I remembered it for years as 44 points but made comment one time about it at doogman and someone said 41 points.

who knows? anyone yelling for petersen to be fired is a dumbass as you should give any coach 3-4 years to get his shit together.
What I am most disappointed about is we have shown little adaptation this year. THey are making adjustments after the season is over that should have been made long ago after the stanford game (IE: an offense that incorporates a lot of QB Runs).
They did play hard on Saturday and that was somewhat surprising to me. That was good. But petersen deserves a lot of criticism for this game as well as the Stanford and ASU games.
Firing him is not the answer but shit, the university has been willing to outbid the other schools in the conference for a coaching staff so I would like to start seeing some sort of ROI. Again it is year one. If we improve next year that would be truly impressive as we lose a lot of talent. Realistically I see us getting plungered all over again. Year 3 should start to turn the corner but I am sick of this fucking script. I am just as disenchanted as I was after the ASU game last year all over again.

1. The point spread vs. OSU in 1985 was 37 points. At the time, it was the biggest upset in collegr history from a point spread perspective.
2. I only remember being disappointed/mad with Coach James once in regards to clock management. I was down in the LA Coliseum in 1989 when were down 24-16 in the 4th quarter and watched the clock run 5:00... 4:00... 3:00... 2:00 and we had all our timeouts but wouldn't use them. It was like we threw in the towel.
Note: Pure freshman Tommie Smith blocked a punt and recovered it for a touchdown in that game.

Did he ever use the timeouts? Christ, Twitter and dawgman chat must have been going crazy

That was the one I thought of too. James scoffed that they couldn't stop them all day. He was pissed
When Derek said LA game in 1989, I was thinking of the one we won vs UCLA. I think Greg Lewis took charge at the end. The thing I remember about that game was watching Tom Glasgow's wrap up show on KIRO and seeing some dorky white dude freshman on the sideline getting all excited. I looked up his number and found out he was from Cheney and thought "what a clown. that guy will never play." Back when we played both LA school on the road in the same year.
To Race's article, in 2010 I wanted Sark fired after the Nebraska game, and I wanted him fired NOW after the Stanford game, the single worst display of Husky football I had or have ever seen (I was not in Berkeley in 2003.) After we won out, Race made the point that in the middle of the season we wanted Sark to change and feed Polk and we might start winning, and after he did that and we did that, then we really should put the pitchforks away because he was winning. It was the loosing that was upsetting, not some personal vendetta against Sark. If he could win, we would like him; if not, we did not.
