My Thoughts on Saturdays Gayme (long)

When I was a senior at UW, the Huskies went 8-4 and 5-3 in conference. Granted, the conference was more respectable then than it is now, but people were still grumbling and saying Don James was too stuck in his ways and yadda yadda. Don James was way fucking smarter than those assholes, though, and figured out how to tweak that team into the 1990 team that rolled into Husky stadium on November 10th ranked #2 in the country................and then proceeded to completely shit the bed and lose to that pathetic UCLA team - on a blustery November day, in Husky Stadium. I remember walking out of there gutted because I knew we just watched the window slam closed on a national championship. Nobody said shit on the drive home.YellowSnow said:
I can't go to the Dark Side yet. But it's ASU 2015 right now and my expectations are not being met. It's PROVE IT BITCH or GTFO mode now. My old man who is as big of a doog as Papa @UW_Doog_Bot thinks Pete is smart and will figure it out. I expressed skepticism and said he's as stubborn as a mule. We shall see.FirePete said:
Come join the dark sideUW_Doog_Bot said:I'm off of Pete's wagon until I see some type of change in the offense. This shit is ridiculous. We don't even have a clock control offense to excuse the low point totals. We just have a shitty offense PERIOD. Willie Tags FS Gulf Coast Offense puts up more points than this shit. Take a moment to appreciate that.
I felt a similar feeling when we lost Saturday night. It made no sense. The team came out flat, played like shit, didn't seem interested - all things that are the responsibility of the coaching staff to NOT let happen. Then to watch the players drop passes, miss assignments, whiff on tackles and walk.............motherfucker, you'd better start running..............was making me crazy.
I've left the river early to catch the games twice this year. I don't see that happening again until I see a team take the field ready to kick ass and believing they will, instead of being a bunch of shrivel dicks that get pushed around by inferior talent. Fuck that. Get the talent on the field and tell them to either push people around or sit the fuck down. There's no room on a football field for anyone happy after a loss, either. I used to want to take our team bus and run over fuckers who were laughing and clowning around after a loss. Shit made me insane - I fucking hate losing and frankly can't understand how anyone can lose and take it lightly. How do you get motivated to win when losing doesn't bother you?
I've already been out over my skis once this season, so I'm not going to pretend to know the best way to fix this shit. I just want it fixed. -

Two of my three kids were/are athletes, and they are both miserable losers. The society in which they've been raised really wants to beat that out of them. The younger one had a club coach who was a giant bitch. Kind of person who sprinkles broken glass into her cereal in the morning. Knew her shit and absolutely hated to lose, and was impossible to be around when it happened. I'll never forget her pulling me aside once and telling me: "Don't ever let anyone try and change ____________. She hates to lose, which is more important to me than having her be in love with winning." That team won more than any team any of my kids have ever been associated with.
Losing should make you miserable up until the next chance you get to write it off the books. -

As I've stated, Pete would have to not only have the wheels come off but burn the fucking wagon to get fired at UW at this point. Calling for his firing is just going to have people tune you out.FirePete said:

@FireBush has a really good chin to downvote ratio at this point though and is picking up steam. Even the doogs are beginning to realize the offense is doogshit.
It is very hard to hire the right coach. It's an odds game and the numbers are stacked against you getting it even remotely right. As we're seeing now, even coaches who've summited Olympus often fail miserably or are mediocre at the next gig.
Just based on the maff, if UW were to fire Pete I'd bet half my retirement that the next guy would be a complete bust and everyone would be crying to get him back.

I lost a Steelheading contest to @dflea 1-0 once. He got to the glory hole 30 seconds before me with his 6" plastic worm and pulled out TUFF 13 lb hen. I was pretty fucking pissed and should have snapped rod in half.creepycoug said:

It shows top programs don't always get their hires right, but they don't settle for mediocrity and keep moving on until it happens. Picking coaches isn't sure fire but if your fans demand success you keep trying. If we ever get rid of Petersen, I'm not going to let the next guy's success or lack there of make me regret making the right choice.creepycoug said:

As far as what coaches would take the Washington job, we can hire pretty much anyone who isn't already successfully entrenched in a major program. We can hire anyone we need to. -
Plenty of coaches would love to come take over a roster stacked with over 50% blue chip kids.Mad_Son said:

But realistically this isn't a conversation we having until the end of the 2020 campaign by rationale HH poster standards. And Pete would have to have gone 3 years in a row of 7-5 by 81% of our fan bases standards.
