Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Question for the people who had written off Petersen...

Where do you stand now? I'm genuinely curious. This isn't a call out thread.

I always said I would support Peterman if he won. I wasn't going to support the same bs, "he's building something, the damage Sark did, we have no talent, etc."
After 15 fucking years, it had gotten beyond old. Win or GTFO... Same as it ever was.
But, 2014 was a fucking nightmare and last year was barely better (last year had the Gabe Marks destruction, though, so... that was fun). I don't blame anyone for not wanting to put up with bullshit.
This year, the difference is - at least to me - we look like those Boise teams that were swaggy, well-coached, skullfuckers. Except with P5 athletes. That's probably why I'm most optimistic is because I see a continuation of what he was doing right at Boise and I'm dooging out over it.
But no one seemed to have anything personal against him. Like, it would've really sucked if Sark won 10 because he sucks and I hate him (though he never would've). But with Pete, I think everyone here wanted someone like Pete to bring us back. It's just that '14 and '15 were bullshit primarily.
'16s looking good so far and if we can take care of biz down the stretch everyone here will bleat.
But, like I said....I'm feeling confident and good....
Now that he's winning I'd have his babies. He just needs to FINISH.
1 - Hamdan has been a huge upgrade on Pease, and the WR play has born this out.
2- Smith is calling better games, and Browning has executed the calls better. As a qb coach and oc, we're better.
3 - Strausser and Socha have turned the O Line frim a liability to an asset, with room to get better.
At the end of the day, the HC gets his due for the assistants doing better
The fundamentals, especially on defense, started to shine last year. The team could actually tackle and swarm to the ball. Let's face it, a lot of teams can't...probably the majority. Doing what you're supposed to do isn't a great accomplishment, but it's nice to see your team doing it.
I'm still not convinced Smith just magically transformed into the offensive genius people like Hugh proclaim him to be. There were too many mystery calls last year. Sure, some of it was execution. A lot of it was just being stubborn and stupid. Some totally discount Tedford...bullshit. Tedford is at least helping and probably has a lot of input on plays. At the very least, he's in Smith's ear during the week and schooling him on scenarios and play calls.
He seems to have most of the pieces in place. The Pac 12 also sucks. There won't be more than three ranked teams. There might be only two. I'll take the wins either way.
Except for Swaye, if he doesn't get satisfaction in >20 min. He's demanding a refund.
It's always been win or gtfo.
