@Swaye, might be tim to add dip to the rolls of the dead.
I would accept there are a couple threads last year where I "went on record" that Peterman should be fired and there was no way he is the answer, etc. I am such a dumb fuck.
God if Jonathan Smith figures it out that will be the all time bump thread.
Anywhere but here a school record offense, a 12-1 record, and most of the team all Pac 12 would get a coordinator nothing but praise
I still hate Smith at times because he does dumb shit like throw on 2nd and goal from the 2 when we could easily punch it in, but your post is still true.
Petersen hasn't done anything to deserve patience. He's been doing poorly since he came on board. I'm talking about on-field results because everything else is bullshit. Saying he only needs an offense is true on the surface, but we'll see. Will Muschamp only needed an offense at Florida.
The coaching decisions, especially in close games are equally concerning. The good coaches win the majority of close games. Petersen has lost almost every one. Petersen does what he wants to do, regardless of whether it helps to win the game. He's still running his shitty offense after years of struggle. Browning throws 30+ times no matter what.
Actually record in close games is mostly luck and is not predictive. A good record in close games along with a highly positive turnover differential is a hallmark set up for an overachieving team due for a crash.
Just for an example that I saw recently...Bret Bielema started his career 21-12 in one-possession games. He then lost 13 in a row before beating Tennessee a couple weeks ago. Nick Saban is 7-7 in one possession games since 2010.
There is just only so much that a head coach can do to influence a game with time management and coaching strategy- the game is played on the field with an oblong and slippery pig skin that tends to bounce in the most unpredictable ways. What I'm saying is- there is a lot of luck involved.
THAT BEING SAID...CP has clearly negatively influenced UW's chances of winning multiple games with his clock management, 4th down decision-making, and general offensive scheme.
We can expect that the bad luck involved in some of the losses (Arizona namely) will even out over the long run HOWEVER if the coach is still making bad decisions that open up the possibility of luck going against UW that is still highly concerning.
We thought we were getting a coach that would take calculated risks and put his team in the best position to win. A coach that would have his team playing with an edge. I don't know if that coach ever existed but he hasn't shown up at Washington.
Poor in-game decision making and losing all the close games doesn't matter if you win every game by 30.
I know some on here weren't thrilled the last two years but it's unusual (not unheard of, but unusual) for a new coach to take a team - especially an undisciplined bunch with no line - and turn them around in year one or two.
Year three shows and even early this year when it wasn't all going perfectly you could see the improvement.
Just want it on record (take all the screenshots you need) that once again I am FIRST!!1! to recognize that the loser HC needs to be door.ass.out. ASAP.
No, we don't need to LIPO. We have seen enough.
No, we don't need better talent. The talent is there.
It's the head coach.
Always has been, always will be.
Yes, because all UW coaches should win all games.
Too bad we didn't fire DJ in year two at 5-6, it would have saved us from years of terrible teams.
Sark would have won 4-5 games with Cyler/Troy a Team QB in 2014. It was pretty obvious the team was playing a lot better overall. Tackling was the main thing I noticed.
The next year True frosh QB, LT, RB, no Ross. Pretty self explanatory.
This year everything came together with Petersen finally being able to complete the culture change.

However the comparisons to Ty that were in a number of threads the last 2 years were fucking retarded
that will be the all time bump thread.

who will get violently ill when then read that.
What a DUMBASS.

Bless Allah.
But I still have all my stuff in the underground tunnels.

The last 2 years did still suck though.
