He has a well-documented history of getting publicly pissed off at his players for small mistakes. But he doesn't seem to hold himself to that same standard. Get ready for another week of "Petersen preaches perspective and patience" articles.

Starting to think he’s lost his passion for coaching. Wonder if he will hang it up this offseason.

so, here's what I've concluded about Chris Petersen's coaching style... there's a quote in Truman Capote's In Cold Blood that says, during the beginning of the trial (and referencing Judge Tate's litigation tendencies; not the the attorneys trying Clutter case:
"Tate is what you might call a law-book lawyer, he never experiments, he goes strictly by the text"; but the same critic also said of him, "If I were innocent, he's the first man I'd want on the bench; if I was guilty, the last."
I feel Coach Pete is so obsessed with his old Boise playbook and chart of timings that he is a horrible coach when the team's guilty (or in this case needs to adjust or the mentality isn't there). He has a sermon he preaches that just doesn't work very well at elite levels week in and week out. It is fantastic when he has 8 months to prepare for that one big game and the rest of the games are fairly easy, but when he has to bring it every week he gets exposed. The trick plays we run are fucking baffling. Why we even run them is one thing, but the execution is fucking horrible - disastrous. I get it when you need a 2 point conversion at a critical time you roll out the trick play, but the other times we've run them... how the fuck are these abominations still in the playbook at all?
This year was a big fucking wake up call.
It's funny to think that as of November 2019 Petersen is not going to be poached by a better program and Helton is making it hard for USC to fire him. Who'd a fucking thunk that would be the case? -

He has said he won't be coaching past 60.
I believe he has a 5 year run left in him, and doesn't want to go out like this, so will make the decision to let go of the offense.
You could win a NC with the 2016-17 defenses he had. He will look for a guy/system to do what Ohio State/LSU did when they had their offensive issues and take the final step in being able to win the whole thing.

I don’t think he can avoid it. He knows it all ends with him. Whether he will make successful changes is another issue.DerekJohnson said:

The vast majority of highly successful driven people are keenly aware of everything around them.
I can see a scenario where he thought the issues were at the qb position with Browning the last 4 years.
This year showed him it goes beyond that.
Strausser couldn't recruit and he made the change
Pease couldn't coach or recruit and he made the change
Lubick checked out last year and he made the change.
Pete will make the change at OC in the next month. The question becomes does he hire someone and give them full reign and total control of the offense, or we get another guy who will just run what Pete wants. -
The amount of heat pete is getting vs the amount of heat ty and sark got is surprising to me. But maybe that's because HH is my only source for huskie news?

We all get that it starts and stops with Pete and it's on him.
You want him fired.
I think he's earned the chance to have a come to Jesus moment about his offense. -

You seem to think he is going to up and revamp his offense while winningly acknowledging that he has made the same shitty OC hire twice and chose to start Browning for four years on top of that.
Maybe you are right that he deserves the chance to unfuck himself, but his past decision-making strongly suggests that he won’t.
I’m for firing his ass now, and not having another throwaway year. I have all the evidence I need, you battered wife fucking doog. In the face of all the evidence you still hold out hope that next time will be different. I almost feel bad for you. -
He was at that point in 2015 and half fixed it with the consultant play, then reverted to dumbfuckery by keeping Smith around. He doubled down with Bush.Tequilla said:

I won’t even mention all the dumb personnel decisions like starting a cripple at LT or the shitty receivers, or the bad clock management, or Bob Gregory, or promoting Lake to DC. I’m classy so I won’t do that.
Hold out hope guys! We’re gonna level up! -

He didn’t have a qb in any of the years after that either. There was one difference in 2016. Guess what it was.Tequilla said:

A man who willingly goes four years with Browning and does nothing to rectify it lacks self-awareness. Right now it's hazy whether he realizes that he is the problem and will have the humility to remove himself from the equation.RoadDawg55 said:

It is stated as fact that the AD reads this board. The logic of "Pete is THE problem with the offense" is almost bulletproof and well reasoned and argued on here. If whoever is reading this board isn't at least running this concept up the flagpole as they scramble for answers that would be criminal.DerekJohnson said:

Hopefully Pete's boss essentially takes the decision away from him; let go or get let go. -
He didn’t have anyone better. That’s still his fault, but you don’t make a change just to make a change. I think it would be pretty hard to think Browning was going to flame out like he did after his first two years in the program.DerekJohnson said:

I think he’s aware he’s the problem. Whether he can completely remove himself from meddling is a fair question. Same for whether he can make the right hire.
