This offense is about on par with that dreckfest BY offense...
There are plenty of examples of coaches who don't have a great first year or two and then get a team on the right path.
There is no talent on this offense. You can take a pile of shit and turn it into a delicious sandwich no matter how good of a coach you are. Every group on offense is below average at the very best but most down right fucking blow. Are we also going to ignore the shitty weather conditions making our already terrible offense even more limited? ASU wasn't there usual selves tonight either because of that.
I understand emotions are high and a lot of alcohol is probably involved but LIFPO. No one has any idea what we have yet. Peterman could very well be trying to get one last pay day but we won't know after 8 games.
With every fail, peenerman' true legend is looking more and more like "lucked into Kellen Moore for four years."

The narrative is changing every week. Non conference scrimmages don't matter, can't expect to play good defense with freshmen in the secondary, Miles is the reason the offense sucks, we only have four good players on defense, the entire offense is a dreckfest and it's Sark's fault. At some point, it's on the coach. Improvement as the season goes along should be expected. Every player on offense has gotten worse with the exception of Ross. The arrow was pointing down at Boise State too. I truly believe Petersen is at a crossroad in his career. It happens to coaches. The best ones figure it out. He has no offensive system.
The scheme is a fucking mess and it's not all on the QB. We don't huddle, but we don't play fast either. Last night was our best rushing performance of the conference season. It's easy to look good with Kellen Moore or another stud at QB. He promoted a QB coach from bad Boise State teams to be his OC. His team scored 6 points against Sark and Wilcox in Husky Stadium last year. It goes beyond this season.
The Huskies qbs are WAC level. At best. The rbs might be Colorado/Kansas/Iowa State level. Not that much of that is on Pete.
If he cans Smith, I'm fine with it. Sometimes coaches are FS and too loyal. But if they had ok talent, this discussion wouldn't exist..
I am dealing in reality. He gets 3 years, I am not going to freak out until I see a body of work at Washington that fully has his fingerprints on it.
The secondary is much better than any of us thought it would be. The big 4 on defense are playing to expectation ... and the mother fucker landed Baker after he committed to Oregon.
If he had been hired to replace Chip Kelly or Kiffen we would all be pissed we missed out on him as he kicked ass with top tier talent.
His existing top tier talent is performing (minus Oregon) and getting better every week.
Past performance is not a pass for current execution. However, it does buy him the right to go more than 8 games before a bunch of half-brains give him advice on how to coach.
There's some things with the scheme that I absolutely agree with from the standpoint of questioning. I also think that there's a lot of trying to put band aids on some of the problems to hide and mask our limitations. Let's be honest on the offensive side of the ball:
QB: I think that you could definitely argue that you'd like to see a few more games from Williams. Miles and Lindy do not have the makings of average (or better) PAC QBs. I would definitely lean towards saying that next year's starting QB hasn't made a start for this season.
RB: Washington lacks nuance of the position ... Coleman may have more of the nuance but lacks the speed/quickness that you'd like out of the position. Cooper probably needs more carries. There's not a single RB on the roster right now that you look at and think that they even have a shot at playing in the NFL.
WR: Mickens is a 3rd or 4th WR on a good team. Everybody talks about how Ross needs more touches but nobody talks about HOW to get him more touches. And when you think about how you can vary Ross getting touches, are the QBs able to get him the ball in those situations? Kasen's clearly not right with his foot. In reality, this isn't a very good unit either.
TE: Perkins is probably more of a big WR than a TE ... we're not getting anything out of this positional grouping.
OL: It's a unit that more or less is an average unit from a recruiting standpoint and plays as such. Disappointing when you consider that the state that has produced the most NFL OL is California ... so the myth that you can't recruit quality line play on the West Coast isn't there.
