    If UW wants to fight fire with fire with Oregon’s Cristobal desired physicality model and beyond, need to open up the wallets and go after Todd Grantham as HC. A lot of experience with physicality the theme. Abundance. He’d bring it. Just a thought on this collective proverbial search for another HC.

    It's not about every other program. It's about this one and if we are serious or not about winning. When its playoff time and the Saban is there and the dabo is there and Lincoln Riley is there. Where will we be? not in the playoffs again and again. Yes being a champion is very hard it's not for everyone especially betas and Petersen.

    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.
    Good poont!

    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%.
    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.

    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.
    Well it wasn't a fire Pete topic. It was simply a question about whether there is a succession agreement.
    Fair enough, but I’ve been worked up in a handful of threads @whuggy, so I kept my roll goin.
    Sorry @DoogCourics , I was just annoyed you finding excuses for his short comings.
    @DoogCourics is far too rational for the "Winners win, losers lose, alpha, beta, phi delta kappa" nonsense Me Tarzan, you Jane mentality that permeates around here. Can we get a cave rat board for lower level discussion amongst the simples?
    winner win, loser look for reasons to lose or have excuses. that is the god damn truth in life.

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

    Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water

    Successful game/clock management has nothing to do with recruiting, talent, etc. He's lost several close games because he does not have the knack for making the correct, split-second decisions that effect the outcome of close games. He's proven as much, over, and over, and over again.

    I could not agree more
