Edit: Just read this bullshit article. Holy fuck is he trying to be like Kim. Love how he rags on Petersen then quickly says I'm not ragging on Petersen I think he's doing a good job.
Love how the fuck is questioning how Petersen handles discipline and praises Sark for how he handled ASJ and Kasen. When in reality Sark did nothing to Kasen and didn't announce ASJ until two days before the game when he was probably ruled out due to injury.
I can sort of understand Kim's agenda which is access but what fucks like these clowns or Akita's agenda? To be like Kim? Talk about living a miserable and pathetic life.
Monkey see monkey do.
(A) Left the program as soon as he could for what he viewed as a better job.
(B) Came to the program after rebuffing USC, Auburn, etc., and effectively said it was time to restore order to the P12 universe.
(A) Receives an almost cult-like status from Doogs. Doogs whom, if called out, cannot point to one specific aspect of coaching (A) does well. They'll spew unquantifiable bullshit like 'he's a program builder' or something similar.
(B) Has been questioned from the very start by Doogs. Despite universal praise from outsiders and non-Doog UW fans, Doogs have been apathetic towards (B) at best and openly hostile at worst.
Why? Is this passive-aggressive douchbaggery rooted not only in their innate knowledge that their fat Armenian cult leader not only failed to deliver on any of the goods they championed him for, but also that he betrayed them by leaving for a conference rival? If so, why keep up with the slavish defense of him? Because they know, deep down, that every excuse they spat at us was bullshit. Petersen's inevitable success will sting them and shatter every doog FS defense point. Coaching is everything. Same as it ever was. Everything else is a bunch of pollyanna excuse-making.
Doogs are placing their butthurt egos over the wellbeing of the program. "The early missteps of Chris Petersen" get the fuck out of here. We can be genuinely excited for the first time since 2000 at the earliest. 1 doog is more FS than 1,000 redneck quooks and 1,000 underachieving coogs.
If they try to credit Sark I'll point out how Sark's wins over USC shouldn't count then since they were Ty's players.
Like you said the guy was a loser coach and he wasn't loyal at all. First opportunity to leave the program he did just that. Another thing we all said about him was he lacked character which Doogs would argue with us about yet Sark showed his lack of character by the way he left.
Noticed the players quotes about Petersen when he left vs the quotes about Sark when he left? You can't make that up.
Doogs hate facts so I don't expect them to get it. They'll always be on Petersen's ass then in 2016 when he has us established a top 15 program they'll distanced themselves from Sark and claim they loved the hire the whole time. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
Don't fuck with Charles Ingalls. He'll knock you the fuck out.
I don't even think these morons actually like Sark all that much. They just can't stand the thought of Petersen succeeding because it'll prove we were right.
1) John Timu basically was trying to make an extra buck by running a scheme centered around parking passes. College kids are always trying to find a way to make a quick buck. Add that to a college athlete that is normally short on money and you get a pretty easy case to understand. My guess is that Timu pretty much admitted to what he did to Petersen, realized that he was wrong, explained why he did it, took his punishment, didn't complain about it, and worked his way back onto the team per Petersen's guidelines - which included missing the first half of Spring Ball.
2) Miles and String were involved in an incident that involved an assault by String that he pled guilty for. While Miles wasn't ultimately charged, it's hard not to view his actions throughout this as being fucktarded. Both were hit with significant penalties by Petersen of missing Spring Practice - which is particularly painful for Miles who could have used the reps. Both seem to realize their mistakes and have accepted the punishments and conditions set forth by Petersen. How can we say this? Neither have left the program at this point. If the plan was to dismiss either or that the plan to bring back into the program was so substantial to be difficult to achieve, then you'd expect a transfer. And for what it is worth, Petersen has noted that the status of each will be updated heading into Fall practice (which I expect to be that both are once again members of the team).
3) Enewally punched a teammate. If anybody has read anything about Petersen, what you realize is that he's all about TEAM TEAM TEAM. You can't be a successful team if you aren't ALL pulling on the same rope and going in the same direction. When you punch a teammate, you are essentially punching a family member. I'd be willing to bet that such an action is one of the more untolerated actions that you can do on a Petersen coached team.
It's pretty fucking simple when you look at things in this viewpoint.
Next time I won't be so nice I'll just refer to them as dumb cunts.
