From a 10,000 foot level, Pete is amazing. Great at building the program, fostering a culture, developing talent. Excellent.dnc said:We plungered BYU at their place and we’re all pissed.
I love this place.
From the ground level when it comes down to gameday strategy, clock management, roster management, he is mediocre at best. And at worst a disaster that costs his team games. S/O to @TheChart.
His foundation of the program more often than not will bailout the poor gameday decision making, but it's that dichotomy which makes it all so fucking maddening even when we win 45-19 on the road against a decent team.
How can a guy be so detail oriented and laser focused in all aspects other than when it matters most on the field? How? It makes no sense, and that's what makes me rage.

We (?) now have a guy who can run a program, but isnt the best at the actual Xs and Os..
We've (?) Had 1 guy in Race's lifetime who could do both about every 6 years or so. And 20 who couldn't do either.
If you have a choice, which one do you take.
He has not yet proven he can do it against a team with more talent and he has a chance to do that next week. I'm even willing to cut him some slack and say the cal loss at home was a fluke, and we were fucked by circumstances that literally could not have been worse, but only if he beats USC next week.
Before the season, the TSIO guys called this USC game the hurdle game of the season, and I think they're right. It's just a massive game for our program.
I noticed a run play where Puka lined up on the wrong side of the formation, and it was confusion and the whole team telling him to switch sides. He looked lost. After that, I didn't see him again.
That said your senior WR drop 4 balls in one night and never get benched. Perhaps if you left the freshman in there longer he'd start figuring out the offense because he's getting experience.
Now this year is tough because our defense is struggling. At least compared to what we've seen the last few years. That being said, our defensive game day strategy has been spot in damn near every game.
