Only win % that matters is the fucking Rose Bowl.
Win one and then POP OFF. -
Wouldn't mind having Petersen run the team Sunday-Friday, and Neu take over on SaturdaysThomasFremont said:Rick is still the best HC UW has had since James.

I’m not as concerned with the big games. We gotta get there first. The intensity has dropped with the OKG’s. I was at the Oregon game and it seemed like a really high level scrimmage when in reality, it was probably the game to win the North.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Pete does have a legit #4 finish and playoff appearance. Everything else is meh and highlighted by frustratingly close losses in big games.
I think Pete has the potential to get thinks back to 2016ish levels. The recruiting is promising. But he needs to win a big game and win it badly. He needs to win whatever trash bowl game we end up in this year to get to 2-4 in bowl games... -
This is the only accurate comp in this thread. A slow decline, playing not to lose, and a team without the big dick energy needed to win it all.haie said:Don't compare Petersen to anyone but his true master, David Shaw.
He's just like Shaw in every way except he has no rose bowl wins. -

Shit comparison imo.
Neu could and did win big games, which Petersen can't and hasn't.
Petersen's recruiting is good and trending strongly upward. Neu had one or two OK classes, not good, and was trending downward.
Those are the two primary differences. There are plenty of others. Petersen is way, way better overall and the floor going forward is what we see right now. The ceiling is undetermined in spite of the sad current state of things and total loss of fan confidence.
Neu had a much lower floor. The team was far worse when he was fired than it is right now and looked to be on its way to getting worse. His ceiling could be looked at as higher, since he did win big games, but he has shown an inability to manage a program well enough to reach that ceiling with his own players. -
I disagree that they don't have a edge, Just because they aren't up in people's faces doesn't mean they don't play tough bit go ahead and make your assumptions. The truth is they just don't have veteran talent at some key positions (ILB, DL and WR). Really not that hard to comprehend.FirePete said:
