    Poor journalism, no report on Ivan.

    The not yelling at players stuff pretty much explains everything.

    With the team’s season opener a long five months away, however, positive practices will have to do when trying to assess the Trojans’ new head coach, and by that measure the new era of USC football is off to a good start.incremental progress

    For a team that’s seen so much change in the past year, perhaps the players can finally settle into a routine — move quickly, and ask questions later. you have no idea the damage Ed did


    We're getting trolled

    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?

    I glanced over USC's upcoming class for 2015. 2 QBs, 1 WR. I know...it's awfully warm and shit. But still.

    Doug Chapman's piece was much better because instead of talking about subjective things like whether a team is buying in or not, he looks at Petersen's system and RESULTS:

    "...I think Peterson is the guy to take the program to the next level...Petersen will be expected to pick up where Sark left off and do something that Sarkisian couldn’t - beat Oregon. Petersen is 2-0 versus the Ducks in his career and 8-2 against current Pac-12 schools and while at Boise State he had a knack for taking C+ recruits and getting A results."

    "Worry not though Husky fans (talking about skill position losses), Petersen’s process worked at Boise State and you should have confidence it will at Washington. The man is a creative play caller and an excellent manager of young men, and UW fans will be happy for years to come."

    Gotta love that his only two Pac-12 losses came in Husky Stadium and it will become an even tougher place to play now that he's the HC.

    This article delivers: http://cfn.scout.com/2/1388682.html

    From F3:

    Obviously the jury is still out because Petersen hasn't coached one game at the Pac-12 level, but if you just go by his record at Boise State compared to Sarkisian's relative mediocrity, you'd have to assume he'll be an upgrade.

    [Teq: Thanks Fetters for stepping away from Doogman and Kim Jong Vino's obsession w/ Sark and pointing out that Sark was mediocre ... ]

    So far through two weeks of spring everyone is saying the right things outwardly, but I still sense that not everyone has bought into what Petersen is selling. It's up to the senior leaders and captains to take hold, and however they have to sell it - a fresh start, more of the 'we all we got, we all we need' mantra, etc... - it doesn't really matter.

    [Teq: Obligatory shot from F3 to redeem himself in the Doogman agenda ... changing culture is helped by player leadership obviously, but it's up to Petersen to sell the players that he knows what he's doing ... hard to imagine too many of the players not seeing that he doesn't given his results ... all comments so far have pointed to the players being on board]

    Everybody else ... Washington upgraded with references of "Seven Win Steve," the program plateauing, and citing that Petersen coaches up his players.

    Gotta love how F3 is always consistent on being a passive aggressive cocksucker.

    The players quotes seem like they've bought in and those who aren't bought in are the lazy fucking pussies who need to LEAVE! anyways.

    This and this again. What is the obsession with the players buying in? Buy in or hit the fucking gate. This guy is 92-12, not some jackass that bangs sloots and hits the bottle while going .500 in his career.
