    I still think promoting Mark Helfrich in 2013 instead of hiring Pete (he wanted the job) was one of the biggest blunders in Oregon history. I'd be happy to take Pete off your hands.

    Pete can coach. Let's not forget the Boise St fiesta bowl against Oklahoma, arguably one of the greatest college football games of all time.

    this Hawaii game will be VERY important for the DBs. They need to really turn it around. We'll see

    Hawaii is going to score, probably a lot.

    Bullshit. If Petersen wanted that job, he would've gotten the job. End of story.

    Also, he's not the same coach now as he was in that Fiesta Bowl. Not sure what happened to him, but he's gone dumbshit in close games, as well as bowl games.

    maybe it is time for Pete to go back to the Mountain West. He seems to be stuck in that mindset. Give Lake a shot at HC. At least he has shown that he'll play the young guys. Mistakes happen but the talent is there.

    Why the fuck is Lake getting a pass here? His secondary was shit on Saturday and the defense was an abomination considering how bad Cal's offense is. Cam Williams has so far been the worst starter we've seen in the secondary since 2015.
    not giving him a pass, but he is doing what Pete isn't. He is putting the talent on the field. They made mistakes but they are young and they'll get it. If they don't, he has shown that he will put others out there. Pete doesn't do that
    Exactly why Petersen should get his mitts off the offense. I have been a huge Petersen honk all the way up to now but he has reached "show me" status. In addition his teams are generally horrible to watch. This is year six. For the first time I'm wondering if he hasn't hit his ceiling. I'm just not seeing him make the hard choices that champion level coaches do.

    Even your own paper disagrees.

    Oregon was so drunk on the "Chip Kelly magic", they thought anything he did or said was right. They blindly took his advice when he said that Helfrich was the man for the job, even though Chip took away play calling duties from him after only one game.

    We don’t create turnovers anymore. Idk why but it’s bullshit. You can’t be an elite defense without creating turnovers.

    I think this is the biggest problem that UW faces as a team, overall. The offense and defense are bound to have stupid games once in a while. You can mitigate that damage by forcing a couple turnovers and giving the offense a short field.

    Look at how the Seahawks won yesterday for a perfect example of that.

    Lake gets a pass because of recruiting

    The defense has suffered since he took over play calling

    Sorry Race but disagree.

    In his first season as a playcaller, Lake had a better total defense and scoring defense than Kwat's previous 3 years. Can't say the defense has suffered when it's actually improved. The only knock was the lack of pressure and sacks, which now he's dialed up but to the detriment of big plays.

    Kwat has a major hand in the defense and game planning. They'll sit down and figure it out. The blitzing and pressure has led to more sacks but also blown assignments and big plays for the other team. They'll adjust and find a balance. LIPO.

    The offense on the other hand.... FYFMFE

    Not necessarily.

    Butch Davis wanted the Miami job and didn't get the Miami job.

    ADs gonna AD when they wanna AD.

    I had heard, too, that Oregon was on the short list of jobs he'd leave Boise for.
