Boise insiders sad as much when he left that he seemed burnt out.DerekJohnson said:

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.
The work done in the offseason was an effort of “I’m going to step in and we’ll figure out the right changes to make ...
Instead of getting better it got worse ... that’s not lost on successful people
Consultants get paid big bucks because leaders realize they don’t have all the answers
Pete is now at that point in his career
Your premise is that Pete has no knowledge of what and where the problems are
My experience is most successful people are often very aware of what is going on around them and are often the most self aware
It’s possible that Pete isn’t self aware ... we will know how aware he is by the changes he makes in the offseason -
Was there ever a QB on the roster better than Browning?DerekJohnson 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:

When he put Haener in against Cal how did that work out? -
1) JC players don’t show up at UWDerekJohnson said:
Agree with all that except with Browning he could have at least brought in a JC transfer to offer competition to Browning and offer a wake up call to his sense of entitlement.RoadDawg55 said:
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.
2) JC QBs rarely make a material difference in CFB -
Pete took a JC quarterback while Browning was here and the guy ended up getting married and quitting the team, IIRC.
-
I think he came the same year as Browning. I don’t think he quit. He got pushed out after graduation because he had a family.BleachedAnusDawg said:Pete took a JC quarterback while Browning was here and the guy ended up getting married and quitting the team, IIRC.

If the players can’t execute the plays that are called that’s a coaching problem anyways. Coaching is about getting the most out of your talent. Pete is absolutely horrible at adjusting his scheme to his personnel. He’s had plenty of time to recruit his guys for his system and it still failed. We haven’t maximized our talent on offense for years.UW_Doog_Bot said:With a weak AF OOC and all of the talent on this roster we are ranked 123rd in PPG. That's not "execution" Pete. That's your system.
-
The talent argument is bogus. The performance of his talented teams against decent teams show he has no idea how to prepare a team from a temperament or scheme perspective to win these games. That is a requirement for the position. He must make radical, fundamental changes to the program. Or go.
