Well, fuck

I was thrilled when USC hired Sark because I was pretty confident that Woodward would fuck up the coaching search, and you'd end up with another Dudebrah or some other nonentity who would be pretty unlikely to turn the ship around.

Now I feel like roles are reversed. We're the ones with the multimillion-dollar intern, and you have a proven winner at head coach. Helfrich is going to get next year, and I'm hopeful (but not optimisitic - note the difference there) that he can fix the things that went wrong in 2013. Meanwhile, I find myself hoping (but not optimistic) that Pete will turn out to be another Dan Hawkins.

Not sure that Woodward deserves to lose the "pool boy" moniker just yet, but this was by all appearances a slam-dunk hire.

I can see through your backhanded (or should I say back-wing-ed) congratulations. The lack of optimism in your hope that Petersen turns out to be just another Dan Hawkins is clearly a lame attempt at reverse duck logic. After owning Willingham and Sarkisian for ten straight, the only question will be how the ducks under your current coach-in-training can prepare for the second coming of the duckkiller. The original duckkiller dominated Oregon for 15 wins in his 18 years as the Dawgfather. The fowl carnage won't happen overnight, but it will happen.

Nothing backhanded in the slightest. UW got a coach that half the programs in the conference wanted, but could not attract. I'm worried - Pete is already 2-0 against Bellotti and Kelly, who were better coaches than Helfrich.
