Our AD is posting pictures of cherry blossoms on twitter while Ohio State is posting goofy videos where they ask the coaches if they know what fortnite is.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe, your publicly-available podcast where you bash the former head coach, current head coach, AD, assistant coaches, former players, and current players for over an hour might actually be a bigger tool for negative recruitment than the cherry blossom picture posted by the AD.

Why didnt Pete prepare 4 years ago for Emeka being too big for a west coast school?
Why didn't the UW athletic department exploit the family tragedies of McGary and Budda to impress 8th graders who got Oregon offers?
Why didnt UW force Skinny to talk to Keelle Ringo about how Georgia dumped him?
Why did UW hire a coach who went 2-14 at Simon Fraser? Oh wait. FUCK ALL YOU PEOPLE TALKING SHIT ABOUT THOMAS FORD'S COACHING RECORD. YOU DONT GET IT. HE IS A GREAT MAN AND THERE IS MORE TO FOOTBALL THAN WINNING GAMES.
I'm not joking about any of this. This shit is truly embarrassing (moreso than the Christmas tree video).
Moreso, I was making the point of the extremely tonedeaf failure to sense the irony in all this. His overarching "thesis" of all his ramblings are that UW is the greatest college football program for all recruits. That UW should be winning national championships and top level recruits should automatically pick because it has everything in academics and athletics a kid could want. Now, setting aside that that claim is inherently false (and no, it's not doogish to say that, its reality), he then spends the majority of his podcasts (especially this one) pouring over how shitty the coaches are, how shitty the athletic department is, and how everyone is underachieving.
Here's this great product, it's amazing. Go tell everyone how great it is so more people buy it. Alright, now I'm going to tell you a bunch of reasons why this product sucks. In conclusion, why aren't more people buying this product?
Also, Pete should have required that Skinny have told Kelee we play seniors over better underclassman.
No logical argument can be made to back up the over the top shit he is spewing out there.
We beat Oregon out for a lot of our recruits. You can argue they are recruiting better, but they don’t have a vastly more talented team.
He talks about how UW doesn't make any sales content like the big boys, but tOSU is 10 days into a bottle flipping contest and UGA is posting situp training videos from their strength coach. His rant about Budda's brother being killed on the mean streets of South Seattle left out the fact that the shooting happened in Ballard (RIP Robert Baker, no disrespect intended).
I get that SubK knows a few things as a former player, but Chest, DDY and the other BDTW guys have lost me by sucking up to him so much.
Favored by the metrics in every game but one, Oregon at home where we blow a two touchdown lead.
Pete decides before the apple cup (probably realizes his offense is such shit he could actually lose to Leach at home) that he's done at Washington, comes out and admits that he's been burned out since before the apple cup.
You act like we're so lucky to have him. He had a formula that could win 10 games with decent experience and yet he still lost to a lot of shit coaches: Graham, Helton (I don't believe for a second UW should have lost that game in 2016), Mora, Guy who just dipped out of Colorado, etc.
Still not over him starting at 8-6 and quitting after 8-5. Beat Oregon just twice. My God. You could argue that he failed at Washington.
Cal who doesn't give a shit? Beavlet and cuog who are poor, and will always be poor? Stanford who really doesn't give a fuck, UCLA who doesn't give a fuck?
Arizona who's poor and only cares about basketball? Utah that is mountain west shit?
Arizona State, Colorado? Meh. Inherent problems for both.
We're competing with SC who's a mess and Oregon, which is a backwater shit school and location. Oregon just so happens to really care, but that's about it.
Who should we be lucky to be better than with Pete?
3/6 seasons were mediocre. 2-4 against Oregon. 2-4 against Stanford. No major bowl wins. That's a pretty bad tenure all things considered.
