Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Do you still think Pete is the right guy for the job?

    Lots of pressing ...

    He's been marginalized this year ... pretty clear to see.

    I'd be beyond shocked if he's on the staff next year.

    In the meantime UW wastes $440,000 plus the cost of benefits; fosters a distraction for the team, and gives the media fodder for stories.

    Distraction?

    Do you really think that the team doesn't know what is going on?

    And if UW fired Smith (as I'm sure you'd be advocating), they'd be paying him $440k anyway BECAUSE HE HAS A CONTRACT!!!

    You'd piss all over yourself to make a @PurpleJ caliber post.

    Doogs forget that Peterman could have let him go for nothing instead:

    Beyond Tedford being hired as a QC coach, what is your source for all of this talk about Jonathan SmithFS being neutered and Tedford taking over? Or is it just supposition? You state it so matter-of-factly that I think I missed some news or press about this.

    The press just runs with what they are told ...

    Pretty sure that there was some talk about this on the TSIO podcast at one point on Smith, Tedford, and the OC situation ...

    Pete runs his business like a well run organization ... generally succession planning in well run organizations takes place in an orderly process were replacements are either identified or trained before being asked to take on the job.

    From what I've heard through the grapevine, which matches what I'm seeing play out, I have no reason to believe that Smith will be here beyond this year. Going back to last year, I said that given his performance that he should have been effectively removed from the equation ... enter Tedford's presence this year. Anybody that thinks that Smith is operating autonomously as OC is fooling themselves.

    Put another way, this is your standard example where you see a low performer get actively managed with additional attention to the point where they either manage themselves out of the role or they end up taking a different role elsewhere as they see the writing on the wall.
