1-2 non-conference
6-3 conference
close bowl loss

7-6 overall

So you're saying Peterman is the wrong guy?

I'd say 4-5 --> 6-3 would be a good sign that we very well may have the right guy.

Winning 6 games in conference with the amount of turnover on the roster (no QB with game experience, replacement of essentially both OL/DL, turnover of 2/3 of the LB corps) plus what would appear to be a limited number of difference makers at the junior/senior levels of the roster would be an OUTSTANDING year be Petersen.

If I would have said the following, would your comment regarding Petersen being the wrong guy still hold:

3-0 non-conference
5-4 conference
1-0 win shitty bowl game
9-4 overall

And, let's be honest here for a second, before Don James was Don James, many people were willing to send him door.ass.out after starting 1977 at 1-3.

I don't expect a conference champion this year. Unrealistic. I expect a complete turnover in the culture evident by year end (i.e. stench of Seven completely gone). I expect to have relative clarity regarding the QB position going forward by the end of the year. I expect that the team will improve throughout the year and play its best football in November. I would love to see this team get to 6 conference wins but think that 5 is the number we'll ultimately get to.

So if they improve throughout the year, have culture turnover, and are playing best in November, why the close bowl loss?

I expect that they will play a team that is a little better than them if they 6-3 in conference - similar to how we played KState in the Holiday Bowl in 1999.

I see at least 2, if not 3, BCS caliber teams in the PAC next year. If that's the case, everybody gets bumped up a bit in the bowl pecking order.
