Pete does not pick the starters or decide the rotations, the position coach makes those decisions. This god awful LB play falls on one man only and that is Bob Gregory. Not only did he do a poor job of recruiting, he did a terrible job getting the players ready to play. I just hope he doesn't ruin the young talent we have know that he was gifted.
Yet it seems his job is safe...Pete needs to sack up and be a man. If you can't fire your friends, don't fucking hire your friends

Agree, really hope he goes but sadly have not heard anything yet. My guess is that his salary has something to do with it as we would be on the hook to make a 550k payment right away if we fired him. We are already going to have to pay 700k to Bush if/when he is let go then at least anthor 600k for a new OC and money is already tight so I could see that as being a factor for keeping him.
I said this in pre-season. It's fucking amazing that I can tell this in Europe, and Petersen can't see it on the fucking practice field because his head is so far up his ass.
It really is so odd that he didn’t even get a fucking chance until a week ago. He can run, he can hit, and he plays with passion. I suddenly feel better about ILB next year. We fucked up the playing time situations so badly at WR and ILB. That can never happen again.

That's what I suspected, so this year's screw up at WR position was mainly Junior's fault? Regardless, Pete is the head coach and is ultimately responsible to tell his position coaches to get their acts together if the starters they picked are not performing (as in the glaring case of Bacteria).

The strange thing about Ulofosio is that Sirmon and Tafisi both played before him early on. It’s evident that Ulofosio is better than both. He did enough for the coaches to trust him to play four games on special teams last year, but he can’t get any playing time this year?

Well if money is really the deciding factor then it's Gregory should go before Hamdan. Neither one has looked stellar but you can argue that Pete has held back Hamdan unlike Gregory who is fully responsible for the situation at LB. Also 600K is not close to what you would have to pay for an elite OC. That would just buy another Petersen robot and then it's LRR. No brainer for me that Bob needs to move on.

Maybe the head coach — you know, the guy in charge of everything — should take even a passing interest in which players play.

If we all ask our moms and our 2 dads for a little cash this month, we can probably pool together $3000-4000$300-400 $30-40.
If Ulofoshio truly emerges as a solid ILB (I'll give it more than 1 game to crown his ass), that will be huge for next year. Then you just have to find one more guy to step up between 4* Sirmon, 3* Tafisi, 4* Calvert, 4* Hemuli, 4*Ngata, and 3* Tupitala. Theres plenty of TBS talent there. No excuse for not seeing a huge upgrade in ILB play next year no matter who the coach is

I agree it has played out long enough and Gregory needs replaced. I get that the position coaches make the personnel decisions. Gregory is Petersen's guy though, and Pete supervised him while he created the mess we see.
If I have my facts straight, FSU are paying Slick Willie 17 million to go away. And we are stressing over a $500,000 buyout? If that is true it would be a stark indication of how small time we are.

dude pete is damaged goods for not benching the seniors earlier. at least going in to the next year we would have had a more experienced roster with playing time
I don’t really care about that and don’t think it’s of much importance. A little bit, but Ulofosio and others have played enough to get some experience. The problem was waiting so long to get them in this year. It cost us a game or two.
Next year is next year. I only care about the current year. The future is for doogs.
I’m a little concerned that Lake and other coaches really praised Wellington before the season and commented on how they wouldn’t miss BBK much. It shows they don’t really have a grasp on their personnel. Then you factor in the Cam Williams experiment and the WR situation and you have more examples of that being the case.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ah You is better than most, it not all of the guys you listed. There really is no excuse for having LB’s this bad. We basically just plugged and played Beavers and BBK when Victor went down a few years ago.
Same for Victor and Bierria stepping in their R-Soph years.

Petersen has trust issues. Like, way too fucking much of it. Someone needs to tie him to a tree in the woods or something and maybe then he can doubt his fellow man.

I have a hard time believing Lake and Kwat dont have as much input in the rotation as Gregory...

Radical idea, I know.
$3000-4000$300-400$30-40.buyout? If that is true it would be a stark indication of how small time we are.
