Ditto. A picture is worth 81 words. I don't even need to read the article now.

Excellent article. Slight nit: the Fiesta Bowl in question was 2007, not 2008.

If we don't know what play we are going to run, how can they know?

Smith logic.

Yeah. So did I.

I dunno. Smith is clearly learning on the job which sucks. As I replied to Tequilla in the thread where @Gladstone has gone OBK on me Smith was clearly not the right hire but now that he is making improvement maybe he can be the right guy going forward. I appreciate and recognize @EsophagealFeces concern that it is too little too late because we still aren't there in terms of play calling. I don't think Petersen needs to stick with Smith and would happily welcome a proven, capable OC to replace Smith. I don't think replacement is the only possible route to success though. Maybe it is and in a year our offense will still suck and we'll need to clean house again. As @Dennis_DeYoung there is no fucking way Petersen is replacing Smith and I think that is probably true. Only time will tell.

thing is, if Petersen did admit he fucked up and fired that fucker.....everyone would cheer and weep tears of joy

This fucking university always hires people who need to learn on the job. I guess that's what happens when you have a shit tier program for a decade and a half.

This is really why I'm so fucking mad. I could deal with this shit if I thought there was hope it would end after the year. I have no confidence that Pete will do what needs to be done. That's the most disappointing thing.

skookum

That's why there's nothing wrong with a little public pressure. <----- $75k

(Especially since the Seattle media won't do it) </p>

Sounds like it might be time for a HH grassroots letter to the AD effort.

The shitty thing is that for a lot of casual fans--who also happen to be the demo that the AD seems to be hell bent on attracting--Peterman just got here, and they probably have no idea how bad it's gotten. Realized this the other day when I was standing in the View Ridge Top Pot and some guy was talking to his kid about the UW helmet signed by the coaches like it was this new thing. The Marinerization thing hits the issue right on the nail, people don't give a fuck about whether they win or lose beyond reaching a yearly bowl game in sunny Las Vegas or San Diego.

Without real pressure, (there is none) Petersen will stick to his principles and let coordinator and offense "mature" together. It will be a beautiful post coital merging of shitty young coach and wasted young talent. I can't wait. Thanks gents, I think I need to go clean my guns and think for a while.

Not letting lots of people onto the bandwagon when *we* win the north next year

I can hate Pete right now and still be on the 3 year plan.

I'm not optimistic about the 3 year plan.

haie

Win out. Fuck. Stud frosh rb and a capable D. Get turnovers, pound them in their cunts. Fucking Win out. And yes that includes Utah.

droggins

He couldn't admit his chart was wrong last year. I don't expect him to succumb to fan complaints this year. He won't fire Smith just to try and prove everyone wrong.
