I'm genuinely astonished at his lack of backbone unless there's some dumb background bullshit about promises (that he should have seen through) we haven't heard. You're a guy who was recruited by *nobody*, in his third year with an arguably top 10, definitely top 15 team, that is pumping out NFL players like a top 4 team. The starter is very likely to leave. You have two years ahead of you even AFTER this year. Any you puss out *now* ??
JFC I'd have wagered my asbestos check on him waiting to see if he won job in spring next year before transferring. And the fact that he kept throwing those practice INTs but still thought he would win the job shows how out of touch he is.
Ok then, Fuck Off. Your mom can stay though.
This. The guy was one injury away from playing this year and could have waited until next Spring to transfer.
Maybe it’s because Sirmon and Morris are already better, but I think the reality is he’s a spoiled pussy who is butthurt.
Petersen's method of orchestrating this is a little odd but perhaps brilliant. It seems obvious now that the staff likes both Sirmon and Morris better long term but may have avoided conveying that to Haener.
So why the competition? My thought is that they came out of spring with a solid 1-3 in mind of Eason, Sirmon, and Morris. They wanted Haener out because there was no way he'd accept 4th string. Perhaps giving keeping up the charade and allowing him to fail was the cleanest way to get it done. If that was the strategy then bravo Pete. Fucking masterful.
This is an indictment on Hamdan and Petersen more than anything.
Overall it's great Haener is gone and more talented players move up the chain of opportunity, but how out of touch are you with your own QB room to be blindsided by a double portal in Spring then waste half your 1st team reps on a guy who portals immediately once you tell him what everyone else already knew?
Inspires zero confidence the offense is being run by adults. Where else are they completely out of touch? I bet the WR room depth chart could be completely flip flopped and it would be more productive.
I think they orchestrated thus masterfully. People are overating the importance of how the reps were divided up to now. Eason needed reps period. Sirmon and Morris needed enough to prove they were capable backups. Haener needed enough to lose a phony QB1 battle so he'd leave.
Now Eason has a full week of practice in the position he knew was his all along. I think things were handled well and worked out perfectly.

Yeah. It's a little of A and a little of B. He would likely never play meaningful snaps at UW even if he stayed. This year he'd be Carta Samuel in 2017. Next year either Eason stays and he sits again or Sirmon or Morris take over

Setting up a phony QB1 battle in hopes of a transfer does not sound like something an adult coach like Pete would do.
As fun as that theory is, that is some straight Sark shit and highly doubt Pete played that game.
QB1 reps are the most valuable thing in the program during the fall, you don't shit half of them away on a game of chicken.
What I take away mostly from this is in the era of the transfer portal, a program must have, at the very least, 4 scholarship QBs on the roster going into their season opener. Any less and you could seriously get fuct. We? almost did and keeping Sirmon was absolutely critical.

If Eason leaves after this year, is there any doubt that Sirmon wins the job next year? Because if he doesn't he will leave and we will be down to Morris and Garbers. We need Eason to stay and the numbers will look fine going forward.

I think it has more to do with the fact Haener was the de facto backup last year, and Pete gave him a chance to see what he can do. Haener then took the 1st team reps he got and looked terrible, while Eason got some time to work with the young 2nd string receivers
Haener basically false started at his chance so badly he got passed by Sirmon and maybe even Morris
Caple article on this is out on the Athletic. Sounds like Pete swears it was close. And Haener wants to start somewhere.
From Haener's point of view if Coach Pete has always told the team in case of a tie, it goes to the player that's older and been in the program longer, and then is told by Pete that It came down to "splitting hairs" and a gut feeling then I can see why he'd be pissed.
Bigger concern to me is it it's true (and I think far more of it is than isn't even from Coach Pete's mouth) is how the Scout team QB who the Defense couldn't stop talking about how amazing he was last year in Skinny could be in such a close QB battle with Haener who by all accounts was a interception turnover machine in practice which is Pete's number one no-no.

Kudos.
Clearly, you're not familiar with the Throbber's body of work.
Pervert, sure. Homo....uh, no.
No offense intended, @Dennis_DeYoung

fumblinginjury problem.I'm guessing we see Sirmon get lots of reps against EWU and Hawaii.
