It's 2019 and our DAWGS just went 8-5 and Pete is 2-4 against Oregon and can't beat Cal and Stanford, the three teams we have to beat. Do you fire him?

    Yes, I checked out on him the final two years. Did not have the killer instinct needed, played guys based on seniority over talent in several instances which cost them games, and you could see he was burned out. The legacy of Pete is highlighted by some funny gifs. Playoff loss to Bama was a fun year.

    From afar I could tell he was burned out, (and I took some ridicule here for saying so). So if I was the AD I would have absolutely seen it, and I probably would have known it was time to move on while we still had momentum.

    No, for 2 reasons:

    1) He's still won the Pac .333% of the time, so meeting Don James metric.

    2) The replacement is more likely to be a downgrade.

    See what 2020 looks like and reassess.

    Not to mention 3 years prior were 3 NY6 games including trip to CFP

    Your point 2 is spot on

    Agree that the burnout was evident and definitely a discussion point

    Discussion point doesn’t = firing though

    Lost all of them. Downward trajectory his final two seasons. Do you wait until the ship has taken on so much water that it takes 5 years to bail out? Of course, we know that Jenn would never have fired Petersen unless he had 2-3 years of .500 or worse. They're all too chummy in the AD.

    That's the argument Teq uses to fire Jimmy after 4 games

    Clearly Teq is racist.
