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

    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.

    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.

    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 other thing that bothered me about Smith was before the Oregon game, when he said the 11 game losing streak made him sick to his stomach and kept him up at night.

    How can that be true? He hasn't been here and gone through everything that we've endured. It was a Sark kind of thing to say.

    He was shaking and vomiting!

    If they give Gaskin the ball 25+ times and actually run the ball early, things might look decent by the end of the year. There are some bad defenses on the remaining schedule, starting with Arizona.

    Does bad offense beat bad defense? I can't remember. Who cares, lets all color coordinate ourselves Saturday and forget the drivel we've seen from Smiff.

    Random Play Generator was trademarked by me, check the facts. That's why DJ had to go with Decision Maker. Irregardless, he'll be hearing from my lawyers

    Ironically I still haven't seen the post referencing The Random Play Generator.

    IF Peterson were to fire Smith at the 50 now and not have the offense improve markedly. It would further expose him for what He is. A great non P5 coach but an average or who knows maybe even worse P5 coach. If you all had your wish of being able to run Gaskin 25 times per game, you'd probably be better off, but would he hold up all Season?
