    I'll agree the gap between Pete and Neu might not be as big as most would assume. Pete definitely wins that Rose Bowl against Drew Brees and the dwarves though. I admit there's some nuance too though.

    Pete's team definitely gets their bell rung by Miami in 2000 - get's down early and looks totally outclassed the way they did against any really good team and then we have to just say they were too good to beat for eternity. They rally to make it a 14-point loss or something though.

    A Pete team probably doesn't get embarrassed as bad as Neu's did at Miami the next year though, but who really gives a shit.

    Pete caught lightning in 2016.

    Are you sure he'd win the rose bowl vs purdue? He admitted he mailed it in vs Ohio state. Couldn't even get his best DB motivated to play in the rose bowl.

    And I haven't even brought up Cal yet.

    Neuheisel was like a band that wasn't that talented that somehow made one great album with a timeless classic song. Pete was like a band that churned out five good albums in their prime but failed to create a classic signature song that get's lost to time.

    And hey, the travesty that is losing to Cal started under Neuheisel, along with the thought that it was okay to get thrashed on a regular basis, including one by a 5-6 Beaver team.

    Pete had his boot on Oregon’s throat and he let them off.

    If only we had hired Derek Chauvin...
