That's nearly worst case scenario in my opinion. @Boise, Utah, Arizona. You have them losing all 3 games. I think they'll win two of them and go 7-5. Between 6-6 and 8-4 is the reasonable range of expectation. I think Cal/SC are the upset potential games from your list that could blow the season outside of that range (good or bad). Goff probably goes ape shit on the Pac12 this year and will go high in the 2016 draft, Cal will be dangerous; and Peterson will have a bye week to prepare for Sarkytits.Houhusky said:OL - Sucks

No Bowl Game

finish 10th in the conference ahead of Colorado and WSU
To others in this thread - coaching matters and fuck TBS shit, but what did UW accomplish on offense last year? Categorical failure, almost a complete throw away at QB, OL, Johnathan Smith, Ross now on D, a bunch of transfers, etc. I think the UW D will surprise in 2015, but on offense I didnt see any foundation that was laid in 2014 that serves 2015 as a base to improve upon, none. It's almost like it's still year1 on that side of the ball. Unless Miles or KJCS make some miraculous leap in development, then I think you all will beat your chest in preseason and then bitch about it later, again.
I still believe in CP but the offense is way behind schedule from what I see and it will be obvious in 2015. -
I agree that Fouch was probably better but that was 2008 and I don't think I was sober enough during any game to really remember anything.Dennis_DeYoung said:

Chris Petersen
Washington the previous 3 years: 22-16
Petersen year 1: 8-6, 6th in P12, L in Cactus Bowl
Petersen year 2: ???????????????
--------
So by looking at the elite coaches that entered a program during the BCS era, it takes a full season and offseason to start to yield success and show signs of greatness. If Petersen is who we hope he is -- then next year will tell us a lot.
I don't see us being great next year, but I do think the doom and gloom is too much. I expect a winning season with a record resembling this year, but better play.
One thing I don't understand about the logic that "we're losing so much" (especially on this bored) is that we all fucking know the players don't matter nearly as much as the coaches. Sure, Shelton is great... sure Shaq was rad, but what did that really get us this year?
We beat the teams we were superior to and lost to the teams we were inferior to. All while playing the shittiest QB I've ever seen start a whole season at UW not named Ronnie Fouch (though, honestly, Fouch was probably better).
I don't see how next year will be any different.
Shelton was Alameda Ta'amu before last year. Shaq was a 'maybe could be awesome' player, Kikaha was inconsistent and Peters was definitely our most consistently dominant player. We kicked him off, got massive production and/or consistency upgrades from the rest of our good players, but it still didn't mean our D was dominant because our back-end were all freshmen and the rest of our players were average.
The coaching matters, a lot. I'm still pretty pro-Pete and I think we will be good next year and then we will start to be REALLY good the year following that.
2016 WILL BE SPECIAL!!!!111!!!! -

The largest "swing" here will be how much effect does Pete's coaching have on our program.BallSacked said:

Our QB situation was dreck this last year, enough said on that.
If Pete is anywhere near the evaluator/developer of talent that we think he is, he will either develop Cyler into a real QB (I have my doubts on this). OR, he will have one of his QBs that he recruited himself ready to play.
If Pete can't recruit a QB who can perform at a higher level than Cyler did this year, that is really bad. That is not a very high goal to achieve.
I don't think we will be world-beaters, but its not like the 2014 team was loaded with talent (there were positions with great talent, and others with no talent). You will lose talent every year. Hell, even Colorado with their shitty seasons managed to have first round NFL draft picks.
If Pete is a top tier coach, we should see improvement upon this previous year. This seems clear when looking at previously successful coaches. We will see what Pete is made of this year.

I agree in premise and I like the research but to compare what Petersen has at UW with schools like USC, Florida and Ohio State is not apples to apples. UW doesn't stack up in terms of prestige or recruiting with any other school on that list other than Oregon and even that comparison is tough because of the impact that Nike had on their success.
Not trying to be an apologist or make the case for not having high standards. I do think we can build this program back but looking at the talent-base we draw from and looking at what's on the roster right now I don't think that a comparison to what Urban Meyer or Pete Carroll took over is accurate.
UW is going to have to build their program the same way Stanford did: 1) Recruit kids where education matters 2) Have kids playing as redshirt juniors and seniors rather than over-hyped 19 year olds. 3) Get a group of kids that will beat teams because they outwork/outlast them rather than being more talented. -
Meh. Dook is a much better fit for the resident "Quooks" in here.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

Among the definitions for Dook are .....
"A hook upon which crispy, shiny de-feathered ducks are hung upon."
and ....
" .. a large creamy substance that flows out the backside of all human beings and most animals. Usualy flows out in a shape that ends up looking like ice cream and/or frozen yogurt. Past tense= dump."
Flexible adaptation leads to abundance on this one, and besides, who in here really GAF about Duke? -

Case closed.
Shaw has one Rose Bowl trophy (with one loss) in four years. Helfrich has one Rose Bowl trophy (no losses) in two.
Helfrich has finished 1st in the North both years he has been head coach.
