Pump your brakes pookie.dnc said:I'm like 81% in. Develops talent, emphasizes defense, develops talent, his teams outmuscle everybody, develops talent, doesn't get plungered, develops talent, hates Dawgman, develops talent, plungers people...he's everything I want in a coach, he just didn't win until this year.
Now that he's winning I'd have his babies. He just needs to FINISH. -
3 things I see that are attributable to Coach P that have helped this year:
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 -
I enjoy winning

I'm not going to lie. I had doubts last year. I could also see he was trying to build something and the team had a lot of young players. It's an excuse most on here are tired of, but last year wasn't going to be a 10-2 year. It just wasn't. We all knew it going in. You could see the team was losing a lot of close games that with more experience they would probably win.
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. -

Nobody but Kim and Fetters had written Peterman off. Most jaded fans here took a prove it stance.
Except for Swaye, if he doesn't get satisfaction in >20 min. He's demanding a refund. -
He was 8-10 after 2 years. The skepticism was warranted.
It's always been win or gtfo. -
