Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Someone please convince me that our OC and our offense isn't a complete dumpster fire.

    Roadie raises some viable concerns. I'll cut them some slack because it was a messy transition and the offense was replacing two all-americans, Kevin Smith, a QB and effectively Ben Riva. Loss of talent and messy transition. Abundance.

    The biggest issue was probably QB as Cyler was 11th in the conference in QBR. The offense has to be better this year. With material improvement in QB play, I think it can be.

    One thing about the play calling is there were plenty of times there was a call that players completely fucked up. Like Cyler fumbling for no reason. Dwayne Washington looking awful on wheel routes.

    The only way anyone can cut Babushka slack is to believe that last year was the beginning of a 'my way or the highway' process not designed so much to win games, but to show our lazy slacker fucks what is expected.

    If that's not what was going on (and from a certain perspective, that's what looked like was going on), we are F U C K E D.
    Explain please because I didn't see that at all. Shit tempo. Grabbag playcalling. Minimal improvement.

    edit: lol @ calling boiseCC an upper tier school. Going from QB coach there to P12 OC was a huge stretch and well deserving of the criticism it has received.

    I didn't like the Smith hire. (Agree with you @bananasnblondes on other points though). Not enough experience or track record. But I will cut him some slack and give him a chance.

    That being said, if the offense is not materially better and by that I mean better to the point where we will look ahead and think it will be good in 2016, then Smith has to go. This school made the hires that ultimately saved Sark's job in 2012. It shouldn't be hesitant to give Petersen a blank check to go find a hot young coordinator.

    Blame the coordinator, not the coach

    It's one thing to hire a QB coach from Baylor, Auburn, Ohio State, etc. It's another to hire one from an offense that wasn't even good. Bad hire. If you're going to hire a QB coach, at least hire one from a school with a great offense. I'm not sure how that can be argued.

    I've never read one post here wanting Tui as the OC. It's okay to think critically sometimes and not just eat everything up with Petersen Banana boat. I get that you love him. Everyone here loved the hire, but fuck man, he hasn't proven anything yet.

    He's been here for one fucking year. CHRIST.

    the offense sucks. Lindquist sucks. That Hawaii game was painful to watch and I expect moments like that again. That was the worst half of qb play since Casey paus. He could improve but I just don't see it happening. I think we have a long year ahead of us. If lindquist improved a lot form last year he would still be lucky to be considered average. 2020 will be special.
