My mindset as of today (managing my expectations)

I'm treating the 2024 season like it's a major league baseball expansion franchise.

We will have our Rupert Jones.

We will view things through the prism of the '25 season

Any winning this year is gravy

Thank god for the Weak early schedule

    It'll be fun to see what people predict when we do the preseason poll at the start of fall camp

    2015 is one of the only comparable seasons I can think of in my lifetime watching the team. Almost everything from 2014 was gone. A lot of young guys were gonna have to play. Low expectations. I thought if Petersen could get to 6-6 it showed he was the real deal and he did. I would put that number at 7-10 for Fisch. Things are different in the portal era though I'd say we also didn't know how good some of the talent Sark left was.

    I was thinking about that last night. In hindsight that season didn't have to be a rebuilding year, had a bunch of winnable games against Cal, Utah, Oregon, Boise.

    The handful of "automatic loss" games to doogs really are just good programs that still lost key pieces on offense, and coaching staff continuity is their main advantage.

    They were 1-3 in close games. I remember the Utah game they lost by 11 but it was horribly weffed and the ASU game was another one where it seemed like they were going to win and then just fell apart. Stanford was the only bad loss and that was with KJ Carta-Samuels starting.

    Yeah, ASU was the game I was forgetting. Scored 24 quick points and the completely imploded in the second half.

    Looking at 2024, it's not a hard schedule. And it's supposed to be the "hardest" schedule that Oregon and Washington will get going forward.

    I don't care if it's dooging, no one on the schedule looks like a juggernaut except for Ohio State because of who they convinced to come back.

    And if Chip Kelly leaves for UCLA for the NFL, UW can raid his roster and then use those guys to beat the new UCLA coach.

    Hate it or love it, college football is now about rooting for other head coaches to leave so you can attempt to raid their roster.

    I know quiet a few Broons... They would all be ecstatic if someone bought Kelly, even if that meant roster destruction.

    No way anyone wants to pay close to his 3+ million dollar buyout + 6 mil salary

    UCLA for some reason keeps giving him retarded extensions, UCLA gave him a 4 year extension in Jan 2022 (first winning season 8-4) and then gave him another raise and 3 year extension March 2023...

    There are rumors of him returning as an OC.

    Hi Seattle!
    He hasn't been an NFL OC so I wouldn't count him out. I think it could suit him well.

    Yeah, I don’t see it. He sucked as a head coach running his offense in the NFL and his teams at Ucla haven’t been special. To suddenly be a great OC seems like a stretch. His innovative years caught up with him. He’s a JAG coach now.
