NoNo, 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. -
YesYes, 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.
-
YesFrom 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.

Agree that the burnout was evident and definitely a discussion pointDerekJohnson said:From afar I could tell he was burned out, (and I took some ridicule here for saying so).

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.Tequilla said:

YesI'd fire Pete and replace him with Nick Saban--wait, no, Bill Belichick. I'd give him a $50 million assistant salary pool, fire everyone in the entire athletic department who went to Oregon, then get Gates, Bezos, and John Keister to all write billion-dollar checks to the football program.
On my second day as athletic director, I'd launch a shoe and apparel company so irresistibly trendy and cool that every recruit in the country will beg to go to Warshington just to wear the exclusive gear. With Nike bankrupted, I'd buy the company for pennies and turn its headquarters into a wireless but plug factory.
On my third day, I'd take a well-earned break. -

NoThe hindsight psychological evaluation of CP is impressive. Maybe I just lost my screenshots of people saying he would be quitting soon

I'm very much mentally prepared to fire Jimmy after this season. But there remains the prickly matter of playing the actual games. And for better or worse, Jimmy and this band of lackluster assistants, have all the stars aligned to win the Pac- i.e., gritty QB, lots of NFL talents across the roster and Oregon at home.RaceBannon said:

YesMy reputation was assaulted here and that cannot stand
It really isn't hindsight for me. Petersen pissed me off when he punted on 4th and 1 on the 40 against Oregon. Sure the three year run was nice if not quite as filling as we hoped but 2019 was a disaster. If people want to get on me about not being the fire the coach guy you have always loved then you have to answer why you didn't want Petersen fired with me.
I've said or a year now that the best thing about Jimmy is that he isn't Petersen. Unknown better than known
And easier to fire if or when he does fail
The talking points are fine but assistants and recruiting and the opinions about them are just that - opinions. We can always do better and get better guys. Its really inexact out west.
We are about to get some hard evidence. Play ball

YesI pretty much want to fire every Coach we have no matter who they are in any year they do not win a NY6 game. Not kidding. Some people say I have unrealistic expectations. Those people are also known as losers. So fuck them. NOGAF what losers think.

NoSomewhere along the line, success was considered a sure thing and progress would always be linear.
It’s why I felt the, “It’s year 6” stuff was bullshit. If Pete had the heart, there was no reason he couldn’t reach new heights in future years. Not saying he would, but it was one shitty season. It wasn’t multiple shitty seasons. -
No
I'm happy to be an ungrateful and disobedient minion on any number of issues. But I stand with Race on this one. Jimmy gets fired based on Wins and Losses, not sizzle and off-season natties.RaceBannon said:My reputation was assaulted here and that cannot stand

Most normal but great coaches ebb and flow a bit. That's behind the I would have fired Don James. Builds the program and wins the Rose Bowl in year three.

85, 86, 87. and 88 especially blew chunks. 89 was disappointing but we could see it and it ended with a bowl win over Florida and the SEC SEC SEC
I don't care. I was done with Petersen and how a fan feels about a coach matters
And I really seriously would have fired James in 88 -
I abstain. I can't remove hindsight from my decision process.
I didn't and don't see 2019 as a disaster. It was a shitty season that pointed at some needed changes. I just thought, and think, that he needed to make them.
He was unwilling, so he quit, therefore he should have been fired. Thing is, though, that I didn't know he was unwilling until he announced it. -
NoAnyone voting yes is doing it for message board street cred
Which is fine, just admit it -
NoPete is a great program builder. His biggest weaknesses were his offensive coaching and his loyalty to his friends on the staff. If he was willing to turn over his offense to someone from outside his system, and let go the dead weight on staff we would have been in a great position.
And I think he knew that's what he would have to do, and he didn't have it in him to make those hard decisions, so he quit. So its hard to say, but give me a new OC and lets see what happens. -
YesPetersen didn't really have a bad year at Boise until his last when he went 8-4 and left for UW

Your point 2 is spot on
2018: Won the P12 and lost in the Rose Bowl
2019: 7-5
Not sitting here and saying that losing all of the NY6/CFP games is a great thing ... but it's not a fireable offense
By this logic Don James would have been fired by you multiple times and in particular somewhere between 1986 and 1988 -
No

What I've said is the trajectory isn't good and he's making mistakes that are not indicative of a successful coach over the long term
You can't fire someone until they've earned it ... and in fairness, Jimmy hasn't earned a firing at this point
