So by looking at the elite coaches that entered a program during the BCS era, it takes a full season and offseason to start to yield success and show signs of greatness. If Petersen is who we hope he is -- then next year will tell us a lot.

Really cool stuff, but I personally don't see it happening this year. Well done on that research though, some great coaches there.
-
I also don't see it happening next year. The lines are a big question mark, especially on offense. As is QB. We could be really good in year 3, though.
-
I agree that we should see something this year. This doesn't necessarily mean winning big, but it should mean improvement (see: Jim Harbaugh).
-
Pete Pudwacker doesn't belong on this list. HTH.
-
I'm not as pessimistic as some. They may go 9-3. The only big losses were on the o line. I agree that 2016 should be the breakout yr.

It will take the Huskies about 25 years to dig themselves out of the cavernous hole they're in. Oregon stands in between them and the fertile recruiting ground of California. Why would a skilled recruit from California want to go the extra 350 or so miles to rainy ass Seattle and become part of a dreckfest when they can compete for the chance to get to the championship every year if they become a duck?
