Great coaches, championship coaches know how to win the big games. When their team is an underdog they can pull an upset. When their team is the favorite, they come through the vast majority of the time. Pete Carroll kicks ass in the big games. Urban Meyer has kicked ass in big games as a favorite and recently as an underdog. Don James upset Michigan and Oklahoma (I think we were underdogs) and plungered Michigan in the 92 RB.

And Chris Petersen is an excellent big game coach. He upset Oklahoma and routinely upset others in big regular season games. His dumpster fire first year at UW doesn't change that shit one bit.

Watching the pre game interviews, Helfrich seemed out of his element. I feel bad for the guy because things will only get worse for him. Maybe they lose with Chip but its probably a 7-10 point game and not 22.

    He also lost to WSU, OSU, and UCLA when it mattered.

    Just sayin ... cause I'm an asshole and need some down votes to make my day complete.

    Not so sure about that. Kelly's ducks got boat raced by a lesser LSU team that was playing with a backup quarterback.

    Totally agree with your comments regarding great coaches, and part of that is the talent and type of players they build. Pete Carroll is a guru at assembling great talent and coaching it up. The same was true of James and is true of Meyer. In retrospect, many of Meyer's teams had no business being underdogs, nor did many of James'. Carroll, Meyer and James are/were prolific at producing NFL talent, and the same has been true of Peterman. The underdog thing has a lot to do with stat monkeys who base their betting decisions on simple things like margin of victory, without diving deeper. Kelly and Helfrich's ducks have been talented, but they're not at Alabama, Auburn, LSU, USC, Florida, Ohio State, or even UW (under James) levels. They are more reliant on a system that helps them overcome talent gaps and allows them to plug in players and keep on trucking. They also execute at a very high level, and that is a credit to their coaching staffs. However, their system alone is not enough to carry them when they face fast, powerful, well coached teams, like the one we saw last night.

    Anyway, all I know is our team won last night. Go Huckeyes!
