    An emphasis on speed has naturally led to an increase in mistakes as the players adapt to a new system. These mistakes are not punished, or even reprimanded, but rather embraced and viewed as opportunities for improvement.

    I like to encourage and embrace mistakes. I see no evidence that they lead to penalties, dropped balls, missed tackles, turnovers, and losses. Then I take the entire team out for sloppy joes.

    In defense of Sloppy Seven, if anyone knows improvement, it's him. It might be unconventional, but it gets results. How many coaches can say they took a team from 4-5 to 5-4, 5-4, 5-4 and 5-4?

    Show some respect.

    "Our brahs aren't worried about Oregon's football team. I took our dudes down to the park, and pointed to those ducks floating in the pond. I brought the team close and said, 'listen guys, see those ducks in the pond? that's Oregon man'. A lot of our kids had never seen ducks up close and personal before, I think it was a real cool experience for them. Like, just settle down man, kinda thing, ya know?"

    - USC coach Steve Sarkisian on playing Oregon tomorrow

    I think a better message would be to take his players to the pond and have them shoot ducks with BB guns. Or arrows would be more appropriate for Trojans.

    He just wanted to make sure the players weren't intimidated. Worked wonders @ LSU

    While this fluff piece is being written, we get fat curmudgeons like F3 writing an assessment of UW's spring for collegefootballnews.com and insinuating Peetamus is having a hard time getting players to buy into his style. How the fuck does fetters even know this?

    With an offense predicated on quick pace, Sarkisian and his assistants are constantly running, diving and hollering with players during drills and scrimmages. Shouts of “No walking!” are routinely heard, with players scrambling to their proper assignments in a frenzy of controlled pure and utter chaos.

    Fixed.

    Obvious fix.

    Are you saying you'd rather have a fluff piece written about Peterman?
