My theory on Chris Peterman
My theory: Petersen burned out in Boise and lost his love of the game. He hates the media, hates being second guessed and hates dealing with bullshit fans. When the UW job opened up he had a long talk with his wife about how it might reinvigorate him.
He gets to UW and finds the pressure all the more greater. The love still isn't there. But he does enough things well to maintain a Mike Bellotti level of success on the field.
When Jimmy Lake began receiving accolades, Pete didn't want to lose him. So Pete, Lake and Cohen had a private meeting and worked out a deal where Pete coaches X number of years before handing the reins over to Jimmy.

I just think UW is young in areas we can't make up for and where we're not young, we're weak in areas we can't make up for. I think it's just unique to particular this squad... and it was inevitable because there's nothing really special about the upperclassmen on this current team.
Manu, Wellington, Fuller, Opera, Bronson, Potoa'e can't leave the program soon enough. Typically you expect seniors to be the stars and leaders of a ball club... none of these guys have stepped up in the way we needed the Dawgs to be successful.
Down years happen for teams that can't recruit like Alabama, LSU, Ohio St, Oklahoma, Clemson. It's a bummer that guys like Wellington and Manu have to start, but we're not the programs listed above.
I really hope Eason sticks around, because I believe next year's UW squad will be great.
I don't think this year is a sign of things to come... it's just a down year after a great run of football for the program.

Where did you steal this one from Derek!?
Yah, I've always thought that lake was "coach in waiting" without the official title.
That's also why Harris is being groomed to take over db's when lake is head coach. -

These theories are getting dumber and dumber. Now even Stalin is joining the loonies. This is as goofy as the lip-reading experts CNN trots out to try to decipher private conversations on debate stages.
There doesn't have to be some fascinating narrative behind why we suck this year. Sometimes you just suck. Go ahead and drop the half baked conspiracies. -
Your constant trashing off Potoae and Bronson is way off the mark, but otherwise yeah, you're pretty spot on here.BroadcastingDawg said:I just think UW is young in areas we can't make up for and where we're not young, we're weak in areas we can't make up for.

I don't get that either. Those two have been solid players for us.

Yeah, I don’t think Pete has lost his love of the game. Look at the photos of him after winning the PAC 12 title game and handing out roses to the band. That’s a look of pure joy if I’ve ever seen one.
If I was playing armchair psychologist, I just think he’s a perfectionist that’s maybe having a difficult time adjusting to situations that aren’t going his way. -
You guys are reading way too much into this. his offense isn't as creative anymore because most teams use elements of it and D's have seen it.
He just needs to get an oc the he lets off the leash a bit
Of course, easier said than done because most coaches are stubborn bitches. -
What is your theory on who killed Kennedy?

Dereks theory and why we? suck this year are 2 separate ideas.

We already had our tuff o line coach tied to a legend head coach. Worked out great too

I think people are overthinking this. Pete is having a shit year, that’s all it really is. He has done some good things at UW so far but his results in big games has been underwhelming. The bar has been raised as of recent times and with that comes a higher demand of success, which right now it seems he is being complacent with.

Mario may have moobs, but Gilby was a fat disgusting fuck. I'd see that guy at picture and think of that line from Niedermeyer in Animal House: "You're a God Damned Disgrace!" I thought, how the fuck is the team going to have any discipline when they see you eating 18 meals a day?"RaceBannon said:We already had our tuff o line coach tied to a legend head coach.

Anyway, I never saw Gilbertson make that kind of tuff guy face. Just wasn't as tuff I guess.

Pete is a cunt when he gets second guessed. No one doubts his knowledge but he should absolutely be blasted over the WR situation and his offense over the years. He doubled down into the WR situation and came out looking stupid.

I still beat for Coach Pete. Both of them. winky winky
I just think Pete wasn't ready for the transition to a bigger market and had regrets for what he left behind at Boise. Friends, smaller market, etc. That being said I agree he hates being second guessed by armchair quarterbacks, and severely morbidly obese 'reporters' who don't Broonc out like the reporters in Boise would (at least I think they do). I feel like Pete appreciates it more now than even a couple years ago. I still don't know anyone who has personally met him, but I'm poor, and none of my daddies are that rich. I'd also venture that based on the stories that came out re Sark (Duchess, Joey's, Patron) that there was probably a strong push from the AD to not be as visible. Let's not forget it wasn't completely on field stuff that got Lambo fired. Sadly off field stuff probably weighs more heavily here than on field, or at least a happy balance doesn't seem to have been established. -

NOGAF anymore about that at UW and when you’re program is regressing and you are doing stupid shit, you get called out. The Seattle media goes light on him. -

My father in law was a bad man. Ran drugs and guns in and out of Central America for most of his life. Did low level work for the mafia and Republican Party and spent time in federal prison. On the plus side the mutherfucker made a mean taco.FirePete said:What is your theory on who killed Kennedy?
He said he had no doubt that the mafia killed Kennedy and met some people involved. The mob engineered Kennedy’s election, including Texas, Louisiana, Nevada, Illinois and Pennsylvania. Johnson did not win Texas for Kennedy, his south Texas base where he stuffed the vote was no guarantee. The mob increased his share of the vote in metro areas to put him over the top.
Remember the Kennedys ran in those circles. Papa Joe knew all the players and made promises gifting all kinds of shit to organized crime. He was part of organized crime. Only problem was he forgot to include his sons in those plans and had a stroke in ‘61 that left him unable to control JFK and RFK and pay back what was owed. When RFK went after them in ‘62, that was all she wrote.
Giancana cleared it and ordered it.

Derek's theory checks out. I heard rumblings from a source that would know after the Rose Bowl that Pete is ready to get out of coaching. Was told that he had a couple of years left and Lake would move into the HC role as part of the succession plan developed by Jen. On Saturday after the loss I heard that it might happen sooner. Was told Pete's really burnt out, disappointed he can't win the big one and he is unwilling to make changes to the staff when he knows he's done.
