Saw reported by tbs expert Lars Hanson that Petersen has never fired an assistant coach.

You don't have to fire anyone when you go 92-12

Sometimes I guess you fire people without really firing them. See Saban and nuss.

Saban needs to send Smart to Ann Arbor now.

Every position group on our offense sucks. I have no hope. Our offensive staff should all be on the chopping block. Smiph was in way over his head. Petersen let this happen. I am wondering if he needs someone that will push back on his suggestions but there is nobody there to do it right now.

I said earlier this year that he's at the late 80's Don James part of his career. The offense is stale. Petersen switched from a motion and shift based pro style with Moore to the pistol with Southwick to what we do now. I don't even know how to classify our offense. We run no huddle, but don't play with tempo. Even when we were down two scores, there wasn't ton of urgency to get going fast. We have seen the same thing in other games, most notably UCLA.

From my armchair I wish we made things simpler. There is no point in having a complicated offense in college football, especially with a QB like Miles. Give Miley two reads. Those guys not open, take off. Emphasize making quick decisions. Make it simple on a brain locked QB. Every game we saw him puzzled, not trusting where to go with the ball, taking sacks, taking off the run too late, etc.

Even if I'm off base, all I know is the offense needs to be fixed and can. Other schools make changes and improve quickly. Hopefully Browning can be the QB Petersen wants, but that isn't a guarantee. It might take more Spring and Fall camp for Browning to develop into that guy. You have to adapt and do the best with what you have. I don't think that happened this year.

I don't think they have a clue how to incorporate running the qb into the offense.

I also think our players run east and west way more than previous years. I put that on coaches. Kasen Williams brought up he thought that they were just way too conservative the whole year. I get that to an extent but I really think it was a challenge to throw an out route with cylers arm.

Our tailback situation is not good either.

Cooper is not very physical.

Washington is a strider but does not have quick feet and maybe the worst vision f any tailback. I have seen others like him before turn out good so there is hope with him I guess but he cannot grind out consistent 5 yard runs. He also blows in pass pro and catching the football. I think they really moved him to tailback because he can't catch.

Coleman seems to understand where to run to but is a step slow and is really an I back playing in the spread.


I think this team needs help from an outside source on offense but I don't know who that would be.

Couldn't agree more with your first point. Petersen even talked about wanting Miles to stick in the pocket whereas Miles wanted to take off. What ended up happening, was a QB overthinking. Poor arm strength and indecision is not a good combo.

I agree about RB's. I get caught up by Washington's long runs, but he's not a consistent chain mover. The good news is this should be pretty easy to fix in recruiting. Getting Warren with Gaskin would really help. Get more capable backs and let the cream rise.

Scheme wise, I think Petersen dipped his toe into the fad, no-huddle and pistol stuff while wanting to keep some of his old stuff. It will be interesting to see what happens this offseason.

The smart money for the offseason natty is in Los Angeles.

as long as the kids are having a good college experience, then we know the UW considers football a success.

Hopefully this was the rough transition year we had to suffer through. I actually do believe that. If it's not, there's no hope.

I have to believe this was a transition year.

Washington had the second most rushing yards in the PAC, right behind ... Oregon. 4th in YPA with 4.4.

The Hippie Stoner looking for pot at the state fair only threw three interceptions.

The real problem was the passing game.

There was no offensive identity because there was no offensive motor. Peterman worked to protect the ball and hope his defense would win the day. Against shitty teams it worked ... against good teams ... not so much.

Summed up ...

If you are going to rate a team on wins and losses ... you're a fucktard.
