    I'm saying the opposite. Penn State was an exception for having made the adjustments at halftime, because the second half was a different game. You could make the same argument for Ohio State, but many people would say that Ohio State lost focus and went to sleep. I'm a bit in that camp because I thought they were markedly better.
    Was Hamdan the OC against Penn St? I thought it was Smith or Lubick.

    This dumb shit is in the same vein as all the nonsense we heard over the summer about Pete's alleged elitism and alienation of black players. What a load of shit. You don't need to psychoanalyze his culture or reinvent this stupid "choir boy" narrative to figure out why we're losing.

    The results are plain as day and not hard to evaluate - we fucking suck at in-game adjustments. Other coaches are scheming circles around our guys. In three of our losses this year we've come out firing on all cylinders ready to cave the other teams' assholes in. Guys were fired up, playing with intensity, and doing coke off of the water girl's ass between plays. Then the second half came and the other team figured us out while we held our dicks and lost all momentum. If Pete can figure that out then we'll be good again. If he can't then we'll suffer through some more watered down 8 win seasons and maybe he'll get fired. Or he won't.

    Either way it's going to be interesting.
    I agree with everything you just said. In your second paragraph. Not the first one. I also believe that Pete is not an elitist and that other teams are twisting his recruiting process, but he left him self wide open for that when he gave it a name and was talking about it as his process. It's a competition competitors will lie and cheat.

    Any way. The point was made that some here will be happy with being in Natty contention sometimes and the rest of the time at mid tier status. Cool I guess. I wanted the team to get better and for the UW to be in it every year. I guess I have higher standards than some on here.

    I'm going to give you a piece of advice, and I sincerely hope you don't take this the wrong way, but you should stop posting.
    Hey Big Ern

    I'm going to take your advice. I will stop posting. What's the use when everyone here basically is group think. Shout out to Fire Pete he gets it. Also El big Jimmy Cornel he gets it. All you other fuckers take care. Go Dawgs.

    You're going to let one guy telling you to leave dictate your behavior? Don't puss out.

    Spot on @Meek

    It's easy to call things out when the results aren't there

    But you're starting to see a lot of people on more of a regional/national stage saying that Petersen runs one of the best programs from Sunday to Friday in the nation ... I largely think that there's a lot of truth in this

    What's been missing lately is Saturday's ... and the examples are starting to pile up. It's something that can't be ignored any longer.

    The danger when you always talk about process is that you elevate process as being more important than results. Process often leads to results ... so process is obviously important. But process without results more often than not is a sign of something broken in the process.

    Given next year's home schedule, the renewal rate is not going to be good this offseason. There's some PR that needs to be undertaken in this program both from a local as well as regional and national level.

    There's just a lot of clean up that has to be done after a season like this.

    My buddy and I weren’t going to renew this year, until we saw the home schedule. No way I’m renewing next year. Fuck this program until they prove they aren’t pussy losers. They suck until they don’t. If Eason doesn’t come back, there’s no way we finish above .500, take your fucking screenshots.

    When I talk about goodwill, it's how a string of good years often can lead to having a bad year explained away as being a massive outlier ... a "nothing to see here" type of situation.

    In some respects, Pete has found himself in this position with the results of the last 3 years. It's why for this year up until yesterday it was largely easy to explain away most of this year's disappointments. Cal was a strange game with some execution errors really coming back to haunt ... not to mention having a lead that you couldn't close on in the last 2 minutes. Against Oregon it was a game that could have gone either way with a handful of plays and youthful mistakes really being an issue. Stanford was a game that the entire team didn't show up to. A concerning element of the program has been that one of those games happens each year ... but by itself whatever. But everything came to a head yesterday against Utah. Getting to halftime up 1 was the worst the situation could have been. The mismanagement of the end of the half was giving Utah free points. Just poorly managed. The execution errors popping up all over the place. The lack of on-field leadership. Everything came to a head and did so in a way that it's painfully obvious to even the casual fan.

    Pete's not getting fired ... but what is he going to do about it. Is he going to give the same answers he's given all year? Is he going to run his staff back? Is he going to recognize he needs to adapt and change because the conference has caught up to him? The average fan (including myself) can't tell you how to run a program ... but what we can say is that we know from experience that insanity is doing the same thing over and over without change.

    I think to what kind of goodwill Mark Helfrich built up at Oregon after getting to a national title game. Then within a few years, things get hard and challenging with no answers to address. That goodwill got eroded and it went from "we know what you're capable of" to "we don't think you can do it again."

    Ultimately, it is a "what have you done with me business" ... results matter. They will always matter.

    The thing with Pete that really concerns me at this point is how rigid he is in talking about process. Process matters ... I 100% get that and am a believer in it. But at the same time results matter as well. Excellent process is the foundation to delivering exceptional results. When you don't have the results though, it's fair to start questioning the process. It's just a little too much head in the sand to say that the results are unlucky and the solution is to double down on the process.
    So you're saying results matter?

    I'm talking about Pete. He gets the credit because he gets the blame. Coaching staff adjusted well at halftime in that game.
