So many comments ripping Jonathan Smith
and a few on Petersen. Probably a 10-1 ratio.
Isn't Petersen the architect and Smith the construction
manager? How does the building guy put together
a nice building from a crappy set of plans? I know
I belong in the special eddie class but maybe you
folks can edicate me on organizational structure.
I didn't realize the OC was higher placed than the head coach.

    Petersen is supposedly more hands off with his coaches, although he certainly helps plan the offense. Smith is also the one calling the plays. And since Petersen had a good offense as the OC of Boise and as head-coach with both Zebransky and Moore, I think a lot of people are thinking it is the play calling and the OC. Although maybe Pete just lost his touch and the planning sucks as well. Or abundance.

    Why stop at the coach? Isn't the AD in charge of the coach? Don't stop there. How about the President? Or the Board? It's a public institution. Fucking Obama.

    Because when it comes to actual on the field
    performance, Petersen is ultimately responsible.
    But you're welcome to keep on doogin if you
    like.

    God I shudder when you say he is hands off
    with his coaches. Maybe that's okay with a highly
    established, successful OC but certainly J. Smith
    wouldn't fit that category. Ok the play calling ain't
    pretty but to me it's more fundamental. This has to
    be the most uncreative running scheme ever.
    Absolutely no deception or mis-direction to keep the defence
    guessing. DC's must be licking their chops to play against this
    offense. To make matters worse, it looks like a pass first offense
    when it should be exactly the opposite. That's on Petersen.
    Why do you say it is pass first? I don't know enough to say if the run scheming is bad, but they ran 22 times and were throwing more in the second half because they were down by 16 points. I am not sure it is really a pass first offense, although it may be a crappy run first offense.

    When Sark fires Wilcox to save his job he'll get ripped here.

    When Sark fired Holt he got ripped.

    When Ty fired Baer he got ripped.

    It's Petersen. He hired that fuck

    Simple fact, case closed, end of discussion.

    Quite honestly, most of the Doogs here are afraid to admit the reality that the head coach is responsible for this mess.

    Spot on. I think collectively everyone needs it to be Smiff's fault or we have to come to the Realization that if Petersen is the one fucking this up this program is going to be shitty to mediocre until the end of time.

    I personally cant bring myself to face that yet. So...Smiff's the idiot. For now.
    That pretty much sums it up.

    Petersen also hired Kwiatkowski and the special teams coach, both of whom did well on Friday night. Plus he has overseen some pretty good recruiting the last 18 months.

    With Petersen it's been mostly good. Smith? Not so much.

    It's been revealing to see Dawg fans hating on Smith. BSU fans had the very same hatred for Robert Prince. The common denominator is Coach Pete's 2013-present offense. It's not what made him great.

    Wasn't Pete's 2013 offense a bunch of hurry up crap? I don't remember him doing all of the pre-snap shifts. That stuff is all from earlier (I noticed Harrisin's offense was doing it too).

    Yeah, 2013 was baaaad. I don't think the TEs or RBs made a single shift all year. The 2015 version in Seattle isn't great, but it's an improvement from the pilot version.

    That and Browning is a Heisman winner compared to Southwick.

    Listen shit dick, the only obsession going on around here is you and this site. Most guys post here and there, you post here in scary fashion. Gives u a reason to pound after a day at the HHB office. You see your post total and scream up to your dads with pride. "Dad I'm up to 17,709", while your partner cries with happiness.
    I think that's my favorite comeback retort of all of yours.

    A long article on Petersen's offense http://smartfootball.com/gameplanning/breaking-down-boise-how-the-broncos-use-leverage-numbers-and-grass-to-gash-the-opposition
    Yes it has probably changed a bit since, but the principle remain the same. And Smith is a student of Petersen so he probably just applies the scheme. What is true is that he calls the plays and may well suck at this.

    Petersen's scheme seems pretty complicated and relies on a lot of preparation to know how to attack the other team every week. It doesn't have a clear identity and tells the other team "now defend that identity". No, as the article says, it takes what the defense is giving them.

    Maybe other teams have figured out how to defend that? Maybe you need a certain type of players to assimilate the play book and we don't have them yet? A Dwayne Washington for example doesn't fit this philosophy, in my opinion.
