Anyone else starting to think their is a succession agreement?

Who knows? Personally, I want them all gone. Just clean sweep... bunch of scrub coaches.

JL gets a shitload of positive pub. You'd think he would have had offers by now.

One more thing - UW hasn't had a good track record with promoting coordinators to the HC position.
Furthermore, one may surmise that the coordinators are cut from the same cloth as the head coach. So, promoting one of them to HC would just be more inbreeding. New boss same as the old boss scenario - I've seen this at my place of work. Our current CEO operates like the previous one, even though he is more personable and the former was kind of like a robot. Same policies and same playbook; same culture. Yes, he worked up the ranks and was promoted within. -
On the other hand some of our non-coordinator hires haven't been too special either.PurpleBaze said:One more thing - UW hasn't had a good track record with promoting coordinators to the HC position.

UW AD has found so many different ways to burn us out over the years. May as well keep throwing shit at the wall to see what finally sticks.
Just so fucking tired and frustrated with a mediocre product. -
Swaye made a really good point when he said if you think Pete gives you a 1% chance to win it all and there's guys out there that give you 2% chance then you make the move every time. I have always liked Petersen but I'm starting to get interested in the 2% option. Who knows. Maybe JL bumps you up to 5%.PurpleBaze said:

I think us fans are grasping at answers. Maybe it helps us cope with having to watch a team with no identity. Just not sure if I'm sold on Jimmy as a head coach. All I know is that he seems to have a lot more passion than Prickly Pete. Maybe if the team took on Jimmy's personality instead of Petersen's "I'm building young me for life so that they will become US ambassadors to Trinidad in the future", they'd play more fired up. That might actually lead to wins against Cal, Stanford, & Oregon. This business meeting approach by Pete is fucking irritating. I've heard from so many people who were at the game that the Huskies were ho-hum on the sidelines... and you're playing a rival. How can the team not be fired up for Oregon? If Jimmy is a big picture guy and can bring some excitement to the program, maybe it wouldn't be a terrible idea to roll the dice with him.whuggy said:

@YellowSnow - There are so many layers of humor to your reference to Darak Khosrowshahi, you have no idea. I just sent you a sext about it.
It's almost as good as @RaceBannon's Iran Air Courtesy Bus references. -

Exactly my thought. No reason JL couldn't bring the best aspects of Petersen and improve on them. The personality angle being the big one. I'm pretty much done with the no-fun/robotic tone of the program.PurpleBaze said:

Head coaching hires is always a crap shoot
-
There’s really only been one guy in the past 30 yrs who was a slam dunk than Urbs going to tOSU. Saban had won a .5 natty but wasn’t GOAT yet. Harbaugh sucks. Chip 2.0 suck. Pete sucked through 2015. Now be sucks again.CuntWaffle said:Head coaching hires is always a crap shoot
This is why it’s more risk to @FirePete than stick it out for another 1- 2 years and see what happens. -
I don’t know, but something is wrong with the coaching staff. Too many missed assignments, poor tackling, poor game management, stubbornness not to admit something is wrong, but more importantly the lack of confidence and edge on the team. Second half agains Oregon was pure mental breakdown by the coaches and the playersYellowSnow said:

As per usual, our poster @CuntWaffle makes a good point.CuntWaffle said:Head coaching hires is always a crap shoot
I used to be ride or die with Pete, but no longer.
I’m also not sold on Lake as HC.
Meh. -
In my opinion, we should hire either Urban Meyer or Nick Saban. Might have to open the wallet a little bit, but it'd be worth it.
-
It was a coin flip game and ended as such. I can deal with this loss. Stanford and Cal are unacceptable. We can sit here as arm chair coaches and nit pick this or that but what ultimately matters is wins and losses and conference titles above all else. If he keeps winning the PAC 33.3% of the time he gets to stay. If not he can GTFO. Tick, tick, tick...FirePete said:

If you have a proven upgrade over Pete that is a slam dunk that we can hire, let me know. I’m in. But that dude better fucking win big time or you’re gonna be meeting me and lil’ piss at 7-11.

Every team in the country is scrambling to figure out which coach could get them a championship. Problem is, only Saban, Dabo, and Urban have been able to do it in the playoff era. Lots of splash hires around the country that don’t bear fruit.

We are all so frustrated and tired of inexplicable losses because we expect championships from Petersen. You could hire a shit load of dudes that won’t even get you consistent 10 win seasons, let alone expectations of a realistic shot at a championship. You could easily cycle through 6 coaches over 20 years trying to find that 2% option you’re talking about that can finally break through.
Petersen does 90% of things right which leads to consistency that I’ve been craving my whole adult life. It’s the 10% that fucks up the championship hopes I’ve been holding since I was a kid. Our only hope is that Petersen figures out the 10% and evolves.
That 10% is:
- In game decisions
- Letting go of the offense
- And recruiting at a top 10-15 level every year so the depth outweighs his coaching fuck ups
We are fucked. We have to hope he fucking evolves. Because otherwise you are Russian Rouletting yourself into putting yourself in the same 20 year shit we were in before we got Petersen and got expectations.
And for everyone who says “recruiting doesn’t matter you faggot, just win the games”. Yeah, well, the only team that has won a championship in the last two decades without being a top 10 recruiter or having top 10 composite talent is Clemson with a generational D Watson.
So with Pete’s development and Sam Huard who is our lord and savior, we could be 10-15.
But fuck off with this, “Fire Pete he cant get it don’t just go find someone who will”.
Where? Who? Who is that going to be? Because no one else can fucking find them. It’s fucking hard. Ask Michigan. They’ve been looking since 97. You don’t just boot someone who at least has that 1%, because barely anyone has that. Saban and Dabo and Urban rule the world. The rest of us are scrabbling for scraps.
Petersen won’t be fired, and even if he did who the fuck gives you a better chance.
He either evolves or he doesn’t and we are fucked. But if we go out and throw darts at a bored we are fucked anyway. So he needs to evolve. -
I've always believed that Cohen/Peterman/Lake have agreed in principle that Lake would succeed Pete, as long as he didn't bolt for another D Coordinator job before.
All things considered, I think you gotta give Lake a chance. -
We are two slow strategy peas in a pod Dougie. I’m fine with ripping Pete right now and be depressed but you don’t @FirePete unless you’ve got nothing to lose- i.e., the risk of downgrading was nil. This was true of Lambo, Gilby, Ty, and Sark.DoogCourics said:

Seems to me that there are three outcomes. Being caught in the middle of perpetually being good, but never good enough, is the last place I want to be. Fire him and either turn to shit or get better, but don't waste my time with teasing me every year.

We are fucked. We have to hope he fucking evolves. Because otherwise you are Russian Rouletting yourself into putting yourself in the same 20 year shit we were in before we got Petersen and got expectations.
And for everyone who says “recruiting doesn’t matter you faggot, just win the games”. Yeah, well, the only team that has won a championship in the last two decades without being a top 10 recruiter or having top 10 composite talent is Clemson with a generational D Watson.
So with Pete’s development and Sam Huard who is our lord and savior, we could be 10-15.
But fuck off with this, “Fire Pete he cant get it don’t just go find someone who will”.
Where? Who? Who is that going to be? Because no one else can fucking find them. It’s fucking hard. Ask Michigan. They’ve been looking since 97. You don’t just boot someone who at least has that 1%, because barely anyone has that. Saban and Dabo and Urban rule the world. The rest of us are scrabbling for scraps.
Petersen won’t be fired, and even if he did who the fuck gives you a better chance.
He either evolves or he doesn’t and we are fucked. But if we go out and throw darts at a bored we are fucked anyway. So he needs to evolve. -
There was a lot of talk by Petersen after the Rose Bowl loss about reevaluating EVERYTHING they do on offense... trying to simplify things and really forge an identity on that side of the ball. All that talk was then followed by an utterly fucktarded and unnecessary QB competition in fall camp... then once the season began, we ran the same directionless, pointless, unnecessarily complicated bullshit on offense we'd seen the previous two seasons. Pete changed absolutely fucking nothing.
At this point, the only thing that will change my mind about Pete will be if Hamden is fired after the season and an OC is brought in from outside of Pete's coaching tree to run an entirely different offense. And if Bob Gregory is shitcanned. Those two things need to happen at the very fucking least. Otherwise, we will continue to lose 1-2 games every year against teams we have no business losing to, and we'll also continue to lose to every topflight program we play.
This is Pete's last real chance to show he's serious enough to the make the necessary changes to play for a championship. If he doesn't do it after this season, he's never doing it. Unfortunately if I was to put money on it, I'd say Hamden and Gregory will both be back next year. So basically, we fuct. -

I had to wade through a lot of shit takes to find a response that makes sense. The shine of Petersen has worn off. We thought we were on a trajectory for elite success after 2016. We thought we struck gold.DoogCourics said:
Every team in the country is scrambling to figure out which coach could get them a championship. Problem is, only Saban, Dabo, and Urban have been able to do it in the playoff era. Lots of splash hires around the country that don’t bear fruit. Lots of college football royalty trying desperately to figure out who that coach is that will bring them back to the promise land.whuggy said:
Swaye made a really good point when he said if you think Pete gives you a 1% chance to win it all and there's guys out there that give you 2% chance then you make the move every time. I have always liked Petersen but I'm starting to get interested in the 2% option. Who knows. Maybe JL bumps you up to 5%.PurpleBaze said:

On the other hand some of our non-coordinator hires haven't been too special either.PurpleBaze said:One more thing - UW hasn't had a good track record with promoting coordinators to the HC position.
Furthermore, one may surmise that the coordinators are cut from the same cloth as the head coach. So, promoting one of them to HC would just be more inbreeding. New boss same as the old boss scenario - I've seen this at my place of work. Our current CEO operates like the previous one, even though he is more personable and the former was kind of like a robot. Same policies and same playbook; same culture. Yes, he worked up the ranks and was promoted within.
UW AD has found so many different ways to burn us out over the years. May as well keep throwing shit at the wall to see what finally sticks.
Just so fucking tired and frustrated with a mediocre product.
We are all so frustrated and tired of inexplicable losses because we expect championships from Petersen. You could hire a shit load of dudes that won’t even get you consistent 10 win seasons, let alone expectations of a realistic shot at a championship. You could easily cycle through 6 coaches over 20 years trying to find that 2% option you’re talking about that can finally break through.
Petersen does 90% of things right which leads to consistency that I’ve been craving my whole adult life. It’s the 10% that fucks up the championship hopes I’ve been holding since I was a kid. Our only hope is that Petersen figures out the 10% and evolves.
That 10% is:
- In game decisions
- Letting go of the offense
- And recruiting at a top 10-15 level every year so the depth outweighs his coaching fuck ups

Well turns out we didn't, and we're part of the 98% of college football programs that don't have Saban, Dabo, or Urban at the helm. Fucking boo hoo. So firing Pete is the answer? Cool, watch USC hire him and fuck us with a rusty 9-iron while we go hire some up and coming dipshit like Justin Wilcox only to be surprised when he tops out at 8-9 wins like the law of averages dictates.
Some of you fuck sticks have really short memories and forget just how miserable this program can get. Enjoy your 8 win season and pray that this doesn't become a habit for Pete. Urban Meyer isn't walking through that door. He doesn't even know where Seattle is. -
Well I know for a positive that no succession agreement exists on the offensive side. Do we have anyone other than Pete that tries to run an offense? Where is Babushka when we need him....
