    KALEN DEBOER- would be a great choice. He has head coaching experience and no question he is a good coach. Only thing is that UW needs a proven recruiter to be head coach. With that being said I would take him right now over Jimmy Lake no question.

    Haener is not the greatest QB but fuck off if you can admit he is far superior to Dylan Morris. Morris is trash.

    How sad are UCLA's fans? Biggest win in a long time against LSU and I've seen minor league baseball stadiums w. a louder crowd.

    As someone that has lived in LA, you have to understand that UCLA will never be good in football, and USC will never be good in basketball. Sure, individual good years may happen, but it will always be a fluke. It doesn't matter how good you think their coach is, or how good their players are. Westwood is great. Hot girls, rich people everywhere, right near the beach. There's so much to do. But, nobody that chooses to go there will ever be a tough minded football player, because you choose to go there because you are Charmin fucking soft, or if not you become that right away. Its a fundamental law of nature the same way Coogin' it is.

    Its the opposite in basketball, because basketball players are used to being Primadonnas and thrive in the soft environment and none that are any good want to live in the USC campus in South Central playing in front of fans that don't give a shit. I married into a USC family and none of them give a runny shit about the basketball team even in their best years. I'm usually the one to inform them if they are any good that year, but they fucking cry if I make fun of the football team.

    You can't win at UCLA. Won't happen. Anyone that does is the fucking exception that proves the rule.

    I had a personal hawt take last night while watching this game:

    What if Petersen's offense wasn't actually all that shitty, and it really was just an execution/personnel problem? We're all creaming our sweats over Fresno's coach this morning, but there was little about it that stood out from what UW was trying to do under Petersen. I saw lots of pre-snap motion and shifts, lots of formations, tight ends and H-backs, four and five-wide sets, single back, shotgun and under center, varied pace, preference to throw to the sideline instead of the middle of the field. Hell, even the quarterback clapping thing. About the only difference is the run:pass balance, but that might have just been situational to one game, and it's not like FSU abandoned the run (37 attempts) or sucked at it (100+ yard rusher).

    In 2016, with a quarterback with two shoulders, Ross and Pettis, Gaskin, Tray and MacGeary, Sample and Dissly, the offense put up over 40 points per game, passing all over some teams and running all over others when the pass wasn't working (mostly after the shoulder injury).

    Last night, Haener reminded me of Browning during one of his good games, and with a bit of extra arm. Their running back reminded me of Gaskin, consistently churning out yards and being tough. Their OL was fundamentally sound, and Haener did well moving in the pocket to help them. They have a lot of athletic receivers who find space.

    So what if Petersen's offensive design wasn't the problem but losing the pieces that made it work was? Things like a change in offensive line coach, as the OL was never the same after Strausser left? Losing Pettis and Ross (number one receiver in 2019 can't get a freaking catch at Fresno!?). Gaskin moving on was probably the final nail.

    They look fucking good. He's getting that kind of play out of a roster of guys the whole Pac 12 passed on as recruits. Fresno would beat UW by four touchdowns on a bad day.

    Get him now. By next year he'll have his sights set higher than UW.

    Many of the Fresno State players could not qualify academically for PAC-12 schools except for Oregon.

    Ty Jones got no separation and wasn't a factor, shocking. Haener has guts and a live arm. Probably better than Morris

    I mean, do you really think Morris could make those throws? He's not that consistent and he's even less athletic than Haener.
    Morris has similar arm strength and mobility IMO. So far his accuracy is inconsistent but Haener has been allowed to sling it and work through his issues. Morris really hasn't yet.

    I still see Morris ad a 50:50 proposition. He might be good given a good scheme and play calling. Or he might be more of what we've seen. I think he's still unproven either way..
