Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
The Irony of Chris Petersen
He has a well-documented history of getting publicly pissed off at his players for small mistakes. But he doesn't seem to hold himself to that same standard. Get ready for another week of "Petersen preaches perspective and patience" articles.

"Tate is what you might call a law-book lawyer, he never experiments, he goes strictly by the text"; but the same critic also said of him, "If I were innocent, he's the first man I'd want on the bench; if I was guilty, the last."
I feel Coach Pete is so obsessed with his old Boise playbook and chart of timings that he is a horrible coach when the team's guilty (or in this case needs to adjust or the mentality isn't there). He has a sermon he preaches that just doesn't work very well at elite levels week in and week out. It is fantastic when he has 8 months to prepare for that one big game and the rest of the games are fairly easy, but when he has to bring it every week he gets exposed. The trick plays we run are fucking baffling. Why we even run them is one thing, but the execution is fucking horrible - disastrous. I get it when you need a 2 point conversion at a critical time you roll out the trick play, but the other times we've run them... how the fuck are these abominations still in the playbook at all?
This year was a big fucking wake up call.
It's funny to think that as of November 2019 Petersen is not going to be poached by a better program and Helton is making it hard for USC to fire him. Who'd a fucking thunk that would be the case?
He has said he won't be coaching past 60.
I believe he has a 5 year run left in him, and doesn't want to go out like this, so will make the decision to let go of the offense.
You could win a NC with the 2016-17 defenses he had. He will look for a guy/system to do what Ohio State/LSU did when they had their offensive issues and take the final step in being able to win the whole thing.
The vast majority of highly successful driven people are keenly aware of everything around them.
I can see a scenario where he thought the issues were at the qb position with Browning the last 4 years.
This year showed him it goes beyond that.
Strausser couldn't recruit and he made the change
Pease couldn't coach or recruit and he made the change
Lubick checked out last year and he made the change.
Pete will make the change at OC in the next month. The question becomes does he hire someone and give them full reign and total control of the offense, or we get another guy who will just run what Pete wants.
Stop making excuses for Pete’s poor judgement you fucking doog.
We all get that it starts and stops with Pete and it's on him.
You want him fired.
I think he's earned the chance to have a come to Jesus moment about his offense.
The work done in the offseason was an effort of “I’m going to step in and we’ll figure out the right changes to make ...
Instead of getting better it got worse ... that’s not lost on successful people
Consultants get paid big bucks because leaders realize they don’t have all the answers
Pete is now at that point in his career
