The problem is there are no positive adult media role models in their lives.Monkey see monkey do. Not since Bob C. left, anyways. Bob was the consummate professional. As for the article, I agree with others. Mind-numbingly stupid. I guess I just don't understand the doog endgame. Juxtapose this: (A) A decidedly mediocre, middle-of-the-road coach. A coach who went 0-5 vs his rival with 5 blowouts. A coach who went 25-24 against D1 opponents. A coach who made excuses every step of the way. A coach bereft of championship-level work ethic. (B) A coach who went a staggering 92-12 at his past job. A coach who was coveted by every program in the nation. A coach who won national coach of the year honors twice. A coach who won two BCS bowls. (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.
What a transparent piece of shit ... nothing there but bitching about not getting the access they had under Sark.
They deleted and my comment and gave me a warning for using "doogs." Apparently its a divisive term according to them.

Doogs really are sensitive about the truth. Next time I won't be so nice I'll just refer to them as dumb cunts.
Similarly, Petersen's tendency towards muted and cliched interactions with the media have served to slightly dampen fan enthusiasm relative to what may have been possible given the initial buzz that accompanied his arrival on campus.

Similarly, Petersen's tendency towards muted and cliched interactions with the media have served to slightly dampen fan enthusiasm relative to what may have been possible given the initial buzz that accompanied his arrival on campus. Petersen doesn't give kick ass pressers? Boo fucking hoo When are Doogs going to realize a coach's personality is of very little to no importance? In all the interviews I've seen, Petersen is pretty nice and pleasant to the media anyways. He's not the prickly guy many have tried to portray him as.
I wouldn't argue that Petersen has mishandled the actual disciplining of players in any of these matters. In fact, that would be hard to do given that we don't really have full visibility to all of facts surrounding the individual incidents nor the full terms of recompense that Petersen has levied on the offenders. It is the opaqueness of these matters that constitute the greatest misstep so far in the Petersen era. Pac 12 football fans expect a certain level of transparency in how coaches manage discipline for their favorite teams. Mike Leach is famous for his "three unforgivable sins" philosophy. Sonny Dykes hasn't done everything right at Cal, but he has applied discipline in a consistent manner that has satisfied a very demanding Golden Bears fanbase. Even Steve Sarkisian applied standards during his time at UW that gave fans a sense that offenders like Kasen Williams and Austin Seferian-Jenkins were on specific programs to regain full-rights status as players on the team. It is the coaches who have been the least transparent about their methods, guys like Chip Kelly and Jeff Tedford, who have garnered the most criticism over the last few years regardless of how effective or non-effective the actual discipline really was for their teams.
