Deserves Own
“I’m trying to be patient. I don’t think everything is as broken as some of you. The offense should change and is long overdue.
We don’t play without emotion. The players were having a lot of fun in the first half and were really fired up. The DL looked the best they had all year early on. At times, we look very good.
I don’t think Pete is suddenly a bad coach. I don’t question his effort. He is bad in close games and needs to fix it. I am very worried about QB next year without Eason. That’s all the more reason to change the offense.
You are what your record is and right now we suck. I think we have some really good young players who are steadily improving. The margins are small tho. We all know we aren’t far off from having a really good record. That’s what makes it so frustrating. This isn’t like Sark where we knew we would get plungered every road game.
I’m worried about some things and right now sucks, but I am still fairly confident we’ll have some really good teams soon.”
One thing he mentioned, “He is bad in close games”.
This is something that has been killing the Doog in me. Soon I’ll just be Courics. Pete never gets blown out. It’s always close, even when it’s not.
Prior to this season, he had an insane record in games he led at the half, I believe 45-1. This year, he’s lost 3 of them, all at home, where he had won 20 of 21.
So those records have taken a hit, but surely, a handful of the games that built those records were close games that he held off the opposing team right?
Not really. Pete is now 0-3 in one score games this season and 9-16 at UW in one score games. When he wins, he wins by multiple scores.
As this season has shown, Pete struggles in game management and in game decisions. When the game is close, Pete loses twice as often as he wins.
Quite honestly, I knew I was frustrated with his in game decisions and knew the team loses close games and doesn’t get blown out. But I had no idea Pete was that bad in close games.
TLDR; FYFMFE

Ok I’m riled up. Continuing on. I’m with Roadie. I tend to be patient and am a slow strategy dude who likes stability and consistency versus ups and downs. I also don’t think it’s as broken as most here. Each of our losses except Stanford have been games where we basically fucked ourselves. It’s just a handful of things from a good record.
It’s been a mix of in game fuck ups, recruiting gaps, lack of development, and not closing out games.
And for the recruiting gaps, 61% of the Blue Chips on the roster are Freshman, and all season we’ve been yelling at shitty vets and screaming for the young kids to get a shot. So recruiting has gotten better, but it has to continue. We’ve seen this year that our evaluation and development isn’t perfect after all. There are misses, and there are holes.
In the last 20 years, only one team outside the top 10 in recruiting has won a title. Clemson with Watson. That’s it. So yes I’m a recruiting fag, but for the championship I’m wanting, it has to continue to get better. Double digit Blue Chip classes have to stack each year to make sure the roster holes we see this year don’t happen again. Recruiting isn’t everything, but it’s half of it.
Kansas State has 0 Blue Chips and beat Oklahoma who has 55. So coaching fucking matters too. That’s the other half.
So I’m patient, I don’t think Pete needs to be fired and I think he ultimately figures it out, but the Doog in me is being strangled. The offense needs to change, Gregory needs to go, recruiting needs to continue, and Pete needs to learn how to win close games.
TLDR; FUCKING FUCK WHY THE FUCK DO I WATCH THIS STUPID FUCKING TEAM??? -
I'll issue you a challenge. Don't watch the next game. Don't even check your phone for score updates. Tune out and go do something else.
You'll feel much much better. Trust me. -
I absolutely have better things to do Friday night.

I wish I could guys.
But it’s so much worse than you think.
I’m actually going to the game. It’s been in the works since the offseason to attend with some Beaver buddies I have.
Yes they’ve been cuttin it up about how they’re going to put 40 on us and thanking me for Babushka.
And yes, I’ve been contemplating self immolation. -
I'm sure it's not, but whatever you choose to do is bound to be better than watching Pete's frustrating brand of football. Quite honestly, I can't bring myself to watch this shit. It's visual torture.GrundleStiltzkin said:

Drunken misery together with other Husky fans could be spun to be fun. With Beavs, yeah, they’re going in dry on you after.PurpleBaze said:

Joe Tryon was bordering on unblockable that 1st half...Levi was everywhere. Skinny throwing fucking dimes
Then he fumbles ....Utah kicks a FG and it was “oh fuck” time.
It was like the world stopped -

This is good advice @DoogCourics. Drive up here and hang with my crew on Friday. We’re not watching the game.PurpleBaze said:I'll issue you a challenge. Don't watch the next game. Don't even check your phone for score updates. Tune out and go do something else.

That was a huge play that we ruined by a shitty play call. Everything was going well and if we converted and scored, Utah would have had a hell of a lot harder path to coming back. That play swung the momentum big time.HuskyJW said:Joe Tryon was bordering on unblockable that 1st half...Levi was everywhere. Skinny throwing fucking dimes

Wake me up when Pete stops running the speed option keeper with Skinny or any of the other number of FS plays we line up to "trick" the other team by giving the ball to the last place they would expect bc it's our weakest talent.
I can't wait for the deep wheel route jump ball to Pleasant or the fly sweep to Luciano. -
Forget this mess. Spend time with TOF or parent... yikes. I’d rather cut myself so instead I’ll use my time on a comparable level - watching udub.GrundleStiltzkin said:I absolutely have better things to do Friday night.

Exactly. He has figured it out. He has figured out that no one will question him. He can do whatever he wants. He will not change for us or anyone or anything. The UW will now trade places with Oregon. They have a better recruiter as a head coach they also have a better head coach. Cristobal is a meat head but he is smart enough to know to delegate to the co-ordinators. He learned from the best from Saban. Pete learns from no one because he thinks he is too good. So we are fucked because of it.
P.S. Fire Pete

Pete learned from koetter. Difference is koetter is actually a good OC and came up with that shit when it worked.
