    Why the fuck did Petersen ever recruit this guy.

    Petersen QB recruits are so shitty.

    I don't get the hatred toward the guy. But that's fine.
    More a statement about how Petersen never recruited any good QBs. Imagine taking the field with Haener as your starter. Imagine seeing a guy like Haener take a starting snap for USC, Ohio St....

    Petersen was just such a bad offensive coach.
    Beat Okie with a statue of liberty play and then pop off.
    Too bad that didn't fail. Might have saved us from the pass to Wooching or Browning on the option
    But we would've missed Marvin Hall having more passing TDs than receiving TDs while at UW

    And yet he spent the rest of his career trying to downplay that play.

    Did he prefer the hook and ladder that preceded it and put them in position to win? I'd actually have to agree with him on that.

    As chuck of HIV fame said, Haener's camp felt strongly they beat Eason to win the job fair and square. They were extremely pissed and the transfer needed to happen for team chemistry reasons by that point. I think that whole episode contributed to Pete's decision to quit. Not the catalyst obviously but not insignificant either.

    I think it did too. He compromised his values for talent and it got him 8-5.

    Having Fuller and Baccellia play 90 percent of all offensive downs gave Pete plenty of time to practice his values.
    As pathetic as it is, there was possibly nobody better. Bowling Green and Portland St WR’s aren’t better than Fuller. Bynum should have supplanted Opera singer long before.

    Agree on Bynum over Opera. They had Fuller, Puka and Bynum. That was enough play making paired with Bryant and Otton to win big and have a really good offense. If you were worried about Puka’s knowledge of the scheme then you should have been worried about what you were calling at a base level. He was that guy to take the top off. There was a good reason Jimmy didn’t retain Hamdan.
