The Bush Hamdan effect

Gladstone

When he was named WRs coach in 2016, the production at that position group was significantly and immediately elevated. Ross could suddenly run routes and play intelligently. Pettis took a huge leap. Fuller looked like a future star in the slot. They all became very good blockers etc.

Might we see another bump in 2018? Not only in WR play but QB (ha ha)? Can he at least scheme and playcall to our strengths (RBs, OL, TEs) instead of the grabbag sack of shit Smith gave us? Can he neuter Browning's audible ability?

I think the Smith-->Bush transition will be more obvious than the Kawasaki-->Noballs one.

I secretly came when I heard he was coming back. This is going to be a good 2-4 years

Sark will end up in Tempe before the next presidential election. OC, Sumlin recruiting neutralizer, coach in waiting.

Sark v. Sark

Jake Browning wouldn't have happened without Sark. Think about it.

I have a shitty feeling the offense is going to be called the same. Will make for fun time on the boreds though.

He can make a huge difference by simply making better choices on like a half dozen plays a game. As much as I would love to believe that he may have a significantly larger impact than that, I will be very happy with him simply not calling a handful of momentum killing Smiff Specials and being a little more stubborn about running the ball.

Criticism in that case goes to Pete not bush.

my point being that will confirm beyond all modicum of doubt that pete has a tight grip on the scheme/playcalling and any OC in place is merely running his system and doesn't have much in the way of originality/variance

He certainly does. Pete was quoted on day one of Spring Ball saying they like their offense and talking about how cool it was that Bush was familiar with it.

I mean more for situational playcalling. But yeah you're right. Fuck.

Petersen tried handing the full reigns of the offense over to an OC at Boise State. Robert Prince was the OC for two seasons and he pretty much junked the "classic" BSU offense and went to a very simplified up-tempo pistol system. They were easily the two worst offenses of Petersen's tenure there.

So he probably learned a lesson from that. Unfortunately maybe the wrong lesson.

While I would love to see UW run a different offense that is easier to learn and can be played at tempo, it isn't happening now. And probably never will.

Maybe he’s playing mind games with the rest of the conference???!?!!!?

Or it could be argued that if he was willing to do it once he could do it again- just with the right OC.

Obviously not Smith.
