Do WE give Petersen enough shit for...
I'm not saying they should have won either necessarily, especially since Saban/Urban>Pete, but the fact they didn't look like they belonged on the same field as those teams for five quarters of those games should be more damning in hindsight.
I always give the Penn State game a minor pass because defending a crazy generational talent like Barkley was so hard and because I think they at least kind of made a game of that one.

In the end, Jen still hires Lake and tanks the program and it’s the same as it ever was.WoolleyDoog said:Being so uncompetitive in the Peach and Rose Bowls against teams that ended up being filled with a lot of busts and JAG at best guys in the league? Also, considering how well some of the Huskies on those teams have panned out.

He was going to lose close against Bama at best. His offensive scheme sucked too much and SC wrote the blue print.
Penn St he should have won. He had Vea and Pettis and it was him alone that shit the bed too hard in the first quarter.
Rose bowl should have been 50/50 or so but he went away from gaskin because he sucks ass on offense. Maybe he should have won that game.
He went 0/3 and was a B+ coach at best in the conference. Fuck him -
The atrocious starts are pretty unforgivable. Auburn probably the worse given that team was not on the level of the teams they played in bowl games and there was no reason to lose that game.
Not going out and finding a transfer or QB recruit to challenge Browning in 2017 and 18 after it was so obvious after the USC game and Peach Bowl that Browning was like a B- Pac-12 QB at best might be his biggest failing. -

Pretty sure Vita was on an effective snap count as he had already decided to leave but wasn’t the bitch like most are and skip the game entirely -
We have had plenty JAG NFL players off those teams too. Not sure where all the pro studs are off those teams. There are really just two. Vita and Baker.
There are a few more solid pros. And there are a few busts. We don’t have a single player that went on to be a true impact guy on offense from the 2016-2018 teams. -
We have given Petersen plenty of shit for those losses. They are stains. That said, getting there was important and getting there consistently is the only way to break thru.

I also think we harbor some resentment toward him because he always looked so fucking miserable being a coach while not coming close to winning a NY6

It was the QB. You can blame Peterman for not upgrading that position for sure. But you need a QB to win those kind of games.WoolleyDoog said:Being so uncompetitive in the Peach and Rose Bowls against teams that ended up being filled with a lot of busts and JAG at best guys in the league?

Throughout Jake’s tenure, He enjoyed a defense that gave up 20 or less in most PAC 12 games.
But that Defense wasn’t good enough to hold top 5 teams to that number. And Jake wasn’t up to matching them. -
As opposed to what?
Getting railed by Jayden De Laura in the Apple Cup?
Losing to the mother of all JAGs in Marcus Mariota by an average of 25 a game?
I'll take a couple NY6 losses any day given what we've experienced over the bulk of the last 25 years. -
I don’t know
I’m probably way in the minority here but I remember growing up the entire goal is to win the Pac 10 and go to the Rose Bowl. To me still….everything else is gravy.
It is crazy disappointing to play those upper echelon teams and at times look like we don’t belong. tOSU Rose Bowl was brutal.
Penn State….didn’t “we” have the ball on last possession with a chance to win? Maybe I’m thinking of a different game
