Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Jake Browning and Jonathan Smith Appreciation Thread
This is the place for us to discuss how much fun it is to watch our "coach on the field" execute a diverse, efficient, and explosive offense at a very high level. And to give credit to his position coach and the play caller at the controls of this offensive machine.

But playoffs or FO
@Sources say it's Tedford's show.
There have been some subtle changes in the things they are emphasizing this year, certainly. But whether they come from Tedford or not...impossible to know.
The thing about Tedford is that the last time we saw him coaching football for reals, his offenses were a mess.
So automatically giving him ALL the credit for the improvement in the UW offense seems a lot like being really stubborn about an opinion that may have been formed prematurely and looking for a reason not to admit one was wrong.
I have been down on Smith too, but maybe it is time to acknowledge that it is hard.
On the other hand, lots of teams play long strings of bad opponents and don't score like that. Which is why the announcers mention it every week.
If you want to crown Smiff anything, do so after rewatching the Arizona game
Pete gave him a short leash and a handler. You think he magically got fucking better?
This is why we say it ALL comes from the HC.
Pete needed to fix the WRs and the offense and guess what? He did.
The point is, excessive criticism of Smith at this point is a lot like criticism of Pettis or Mathis, previously deserved but now a stale storyline that only very stubborn people will stick with.
