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.

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.
Actually Petey took over a program already rebuilt by Pokey Allen and Al Borges. Pokey had them on the rise before Petey showed up after Pokey’s illness and death.

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.

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.

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.

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 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
