I still believe that CP is smart enough to design a offense capable of winning games in the Pac-12. Last year I think they had a qb (Miles) who was simply not close to pac-12 caliber (on a side note can you imagine what the coaching staff was thinking spring ball 2014 watching Lindy/Williams. After that first week of practice, the only thing going thru their heads was "oh my god, but at least we have Cyler for fall camp. We will be okay with him".
Fast forward to fall camp 2014 after first week of practice with all three there, and their thoughts had to be "we are fucked"
This year they have a freshman qb who's not physically ready and has freshman moments, with freshman (true and rf) ol blocking for him, a freshman rb who they like but don't want to kill him by giving it to him 30 times a game, along with a baaaad group of wr's. That recipe is not going to work period end of story.
So with that being said:
1st: If we are having this conversation a year from now about the Huskies Offense and their level of ineptitude than I will lead the masses in saying CP is not the man and accepting the fact that UW football as I grew up with in the late 70's-mid 90's is dead and not coming back for a very very long time.
2nd: If he gets rid of Smith as oc and/or changes his teams culture/identity on offense in the offseason, would that bring you back in the boat for him?
Like others have said, this team on D next year is Pac-12 North WINNING (not competing for but ACTUALLY WINNING) level, but the offense has to be average/slightly above average to get there.

They aren't the most talented group in the conference, but they are more of an example of baaad coaching than truly sucking.
Here is what I know about the group. Mickens/Hall we can't wait to graduate. Pettis/Lenius are not producing and getting targeted very little, and what is behind them (McClatcher/Renfro) aren't ready yet.
Yes, if the defense maintains this level and the offense is just average in the Pac 12 next year, this team can do some things next year, IMO. It's one reason I'm not on a ledge yet (gayme threads and 12-24 hours after a game don't count as we're all lunatics then).
