Disappointed...

I had to step away for a few days after the shit show in Colorado.
Anyway, I'm sure it's been posted here already, but I'm not going to search for it.
I think this may be the most disappointing season since the 0-12 season. The 0-12 season wasn't a shocker, as everyone knew they sucked, but I figured they would pull at least one win out of their butts.
I can only hope that this is a wake up call like it was for Don James in 1988 when they went 6-5.
Moving on and drinking bleach.

5-3 in conference wasn't that bad but it seemed like it
Pete has no concept of what's wrong. Watching his press conference the other day.... it's like he's emotionally stunted or blind. He can only think in terms of execution. He's so up his own ass with his 'process' that he has no idea how to actually motivate a team to play with passion and violence. He's like a fucking robot.
It doesn't matter what changes he makes to his staff. It doesn't matter to me anymore if he fires Hamden and Gregory. Pete is the problem. We're stuck with a coach who's just good enough to hold onto his job. I will bet anyone a million sven bucks that Pete will never go through a season here without losing at LEAST two games. It will never happen.
I swear to god, being a fan of this fucking program is like some never ending circle of hell.
You are what your record is and we suck.
This year sucks. Let’s LIPO another year or two. Teams makes big jumps all the time. Georgia and LSU both made big jumps. It’s not always linear. I think it’s possible for us if we fix the offense. The way to do that is Pete giving up control.
Im still waiting for @RaceBannon and @PurpleBaze to say I was right after they mocked me for saying a loss to Cal was imminent
There is also something much bigger about this program that just isn't working. Something fundamental about the attitude and energy of this team that just seems WAY off. I think a lot of us had put it on Jake Browning's shoulders... but this season's proven it has much more to do with Pete and his 'practice-first/don't-make-a-mistake' culture.
If Pete retains Hamden, how optimistic would you be for this team to make a big jump next year? If he brings in a new OC with a whole new system, how optimistic would you be that Pete would actually stay out of the fucking way? Even if he did, how optimistic would you be for this team to make a big jump with Morris or Sirmon at QB playing behind a whole new OL being led by a OL coach who may or may not have any idea what he's doing? How optimistic are you at this point that Junior Adams has the slightest fucking idea what he's doing? The defense has steadily declined under Jimmy Lake... we have a lot of returning talent, but how optimistic are you that that trend will reverse itself?
Pete was completely exposed this year. Hapless clock & roster management. Nonexistent in-game/halftime adjustments. Utterly predictable and ineffective offensive play calling. A team with no energy, passion, or ability to make a play when it counted. Pete's a guy that will have 2-5 losses every year going forward. Take yer screenshots.
gunt.
I'm really really sorry, I apologise unreservedly.
I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.
PGOS right at everything!!
He coaches scared. It's why we run so many faggy gadget plays because he's scared he can't win a game straight up.
I'm not completely off the Pete bandwagon and will give him 1 more year before I tell him to LEAVE but fuck me, this year is a huge disappointment. I need to take a walk and get some perspective now.
Another couple of things... We weren’t ravaged by injuries this year. Overall we were pretty damned healthy, especially up front on both sides of the ball.
We also had experience all over the place on offense... so neither injuries nor youth is a valid excuse, particularly on that side of the ball.
Our schedule set us up for success this year better than just about any season I can remember. Easy non conference slate, and all the tough PAC 12 games at home.
The useless offense, inexplicable losses to vastly inferior teams, and the frequent lack of energy & aggression by our players has been an issue for three straight years... it didn’t just suddenly show up this year - we’d all just decided to blame Jake Browning, Jonathan Smith, or Bush Hammerdon (hi Fatters!) for them. But they weren’t the problem. The problem is Pete and his system & culture.
This shitstorm of a season didn’t happen because of injuries, youth, or a difficult schedule... it happened because of a fucking alarming level of incompetence and mismanagement Pete and his staff.
