    This is the most fucking anal tard cake debate of all time. Ricky's game day corching in 2000 bested anything that Pete did for us. But Pete's overall program building skillz (at multiple programs) crush anything Rick was capable of. For the love of Pete, let's try and keep this objective.

    In the words of Race Parcells: you are what your record says you are.

    Rose Bowl Wins

    Rick - 1

    Toothy Frat Boy - 0

    Cooked.
    Pete: 2 Pac Titles in 6 years = .333%

    Ricky: 1 Pac Title in 4 years (would have been 1 of 6 if hes stays) = .25%

    Pete: successful at 2 programs

    Rick: won initially with other dude's guys and then started to trend downward at 2 schools.

    Pete beat Stoops. Rick beat Purdue.

    One is a really good coach and one is average. Helfrich won a playoff game. It doesn’t make him good. Same with Rick and the Rose Bowl. We were trending down with Rick. We wouldn’t have went 6-6 and 1-11 like we did under Gilby, but Rick wouldn’t have made us good those years.

    Pete
    Rick was a 1 hit wonder. It was a great hit - don't get me wrong. He inherited a program that was 2 years removed from being ranking #3 in the country heading into the 1997 season. Pete inherited a program which hadn't been relevant nationally in 15 years. Washington making the CFP in 2016 was far more of a turnaround jerb that what Rick pulled off in 2000.

    It was also the product of playing in a fucking shit ball conference and you know it.

    You also know that going through the Pac 10 in 2000 was a far different animal.

    Bottom line: he coached his team to a win in the Rose Bowl when presented the chance. Pete shit himself in every NY6 bowl game he was in. The moments were always too big for him. THAT is what is going to be written on his tomb stone. I will see to it.

    Lost to Bamers
    Lost to Penn State
    Lost to Ohio State

    Only one of those three teams were elite. The other two were just good.

    And I've already stated in this thread, that Ricky's game day corching in 2000 was better than anything we got out of Pete. However, all 3 of the above teams were vastly better than Purdue. 2018 Ohio State was an elite team talent wise. 2017 Penn State had the future NFL rookie of the year at RB and was like 4 pts away from the CFP.

    Did Chad Ward sit out the Rose Bowl in 2000 to stay healthy for the draft?

    Eh, Ohio State was very good though, though not Justin Fields elite. Different team this year. I don't know. The Bucks played without Nick Bosa too. There's always something to nit pick.

    The records are what they are. The hardest part of winning those games is getting there, and Rick had a much, much tougher slog in 2000 than anything Toothy has ever faced his entire career.

    12-1, winning the conference when it was still an accomplishment, a rose bowl win and one of the top rankings in school history vs "we kept it close for a half". Did you get a "We scored first Champion" peach bowl shirt?

    It's the difference between playing in the World Series or winning 116 games.

    Beating 8-4 Purdue isn’t the World Series.
    Shitty analogy, but the playoffs is the world series.
    No. The playoffs aren’t the World Series. The championship game is. Uw got exposed by Alabama as pretenders who didn’t belong on that stage. They lost and didn’t play in the “World Series “. Hth

    Wishing for the days of beating 8-4 Purdue is the definition of a fucking Mariners fan being happy to just be in the running for the playoffs

    Hth
    12-1, winning the conference when it was still an accomplishment, a rose bowl win and one of the top rankings in school history vs "we kept it close for a half". Did you get a "We scored first Champion" peach bowl shirt?

    It's the difference between playing in the World Series or winning 116 games.
    Beating 8-4 Purdue isn’t the World Series.
    Shitty analogy, but the playoffs is the world series.
    No. The playoffs aren’t the World Series. The championship game is. Uw got exposed by Alabama as pretenders who didn’t belong on that stage. They lost and didn’t play in the “World Series “. Hth
    Great, it's the difference between losing the ALCS and not making the playoffs but winning the run differential.

    This is the most fucking anal tard cake debate of all time. Ricky's game day corching in 2000 bested anything that Pete did for us. But Pete's overall program building skillz (at multiple programs) crush anything Rick was capable of. For the love of Pete, let's try and keep this objective.

    In the words of Race Parcells: you are what your record says you are.

    Rose Bowl Wins

    Rick - 1

    Toothy Frat Boy - 0

    Cooked.

    Rick bear Miami and Michigan. Did Petersen beat a power 5 team that wasn’t dreck in his time at uw. (Rutgers doesn’t count )
    Those were good wins. And the lack of signature, big time wins under Pete leaves most of us with purple ballz. But it's different game now. We won't get those types of home games much anymore (Pete's home game big time non-con schedule was non existent). When Ricky went on the road to play Michigan we lost or got plungered by Miamuh. All that being said, Pete would have probably lost to Miamuh at home in 2000.

    Would have been a great post if you would have just stopped right thurr.

    Come on row boat. Stop this unholy love affair with Toothy. He was a B+ guy. Good enough to get into Western. That's about it.

    Yes.

    And that's the difference. Rick got his teams up for games like having Miami at home.

    One is a really good coach and one is average. Helfrich won a playoff game. It doesn’t make him good. Same with Rick and the Rose Bowl. We were trending down with Rick. We wouldn’t have went 6-6 and 1-11 like we did under Gilby, but Rick wouldn’t have made us good those years.
    This.

    When Pete got to the CFP, it was mostly his guys. And he continued the good seasons for 2 more years thereafter. Rick was an average coach who had a one off Goldilocks season with a game changer (at the college level) QB.

    Both pale in comparison to Don James. It took a long time, but DJ had the intestinal fortitude to drive to work, drink Folgers, and sleep in his office.
    The DJ love affair gives me Doogman PTSD.

    But I think I’ve gained even more appreciation for the Dawgfather in the last couple years of Pete. After hearing anecdotal evidence and reading that SI piece, DJ evolved and made tough choices. Pete fired Pease. That’s it.

    Killjoy Pete wasn’t going to change fast enough to keep up with the times, a la Saban. Which is why he resigned. He knew he had to but was too stubborn to do it.
    I try to think of the kids when incessantly posting about Don James but it is our only reference point. I stated early and often that I wanted Pete to be much better than James

    I want Jimmy Lake to be much better than James. He was not infallible and there is room above him

    Its just that we have so far failed miserably to find someone. It looked like Pete could then it became clear that we would be lucky if he could put together a 17 year plan to win the Natty and nobody has time for that anymore

    Pete wasn't going to change fast enough. He did the next best thing

    Go Jimmy
    It’s different eras. The 17 year plan for a Natty probably won’t be done again. I can’t imagine a coach finally breaking thru after 17 years.

    Back in the day, you couldn’t look up any recruit’s hudl, there wasn’t a bunch of camps. Guys were recruited based on who high school beat writer’s were writing about and based on what high school coaches were telling coaches on who they had that should be recruited.

    If you go 17 years without a natty these days, you probably couldn’t recruit good enough players to get that natty. The heat on DJ would have been amped up a lot more nowadays then it was during his struggle in the 80’s.
