    Kinda anti-Asian, but to each his own I suppose.

    Even @GrandpaSankey sees what you did there

    can you imagine in practices how easy it was for Jimmy to defend those? Pete probably thought that his defense was so good that those sideways slow ass bubble screens and jet sweeps disguised as a snail sweeps would work against every other defense.

    That would be "I'm not a slanty eyed kind of guy" - that's anti Asian.

    Did we really run that many bubble screens? Our offense sucked, but I wouldn’t say that was The reason.

    Predictable play calling, a lot of third and long plays, and absolutely no ability to handle pressure and have easy to find hour routes off pressure.

    It was more when they, and the dreaded jet sweeps, were called.

    You're running down someone's throat, you have an important 3rd and short, run a play that takes a long time to develop and that, if the defense sees it, will have a 90% of stuffing it.

    His fascination with 'NFL' coaches is concerning. While I'm sure he learned a lot from smart people in the NFL, the NFL has also consistently proven to have a lot of dumb fucks.
    yeah I have a feeling he's going to learn the hard way that experience in the NFL doesn't necessarily translate to greater success at college. it may have worked for him and Joe Brady but there's plenty of cases where it didn't work out. Ed Donatell anyone?

    Let's talk Jet Sweep. I thought that perhaps it was just UW that couldn't run it. Then I noticed an 81% failure rate across the board. Everyone sucks at it. When it does work it looks great and the announcers marvel at it and the defense looks like idiots. When it works. Occasionally

    Coaching is guys watching TV like we do and trying what works. If you recruit great or draft great your a genius. If not you get fired

    I liked the wildcat runs you tried against the ducks in 2019. I hope that kind of sneaky trickeration still has a place in the husky offense going forward.

    Good point. Some coaches in the NFL are the best at what they do. Others not so much. Kind of like any other level.

    Coaching is important at any level, but NFL players are mostly self motivated and half of them are barely hanging on and will do anything they can to stay. Most of them can be cut with very little ramifications.
