    I like to say that a coach was only good because of his QB during a historic run of success that many other programs couldn't match.

    I like to ignore that the coach still does a lot of other shit like: recruit the QB, Hire the coaches, Instill the culture, develop a nasty defense, recruit other players besides QB, etc.

    If the QB was the only thing that mattered in football, Cal would be the favorite in the conference this year.

    Petersen may suck here, but anyone can suck anywhere, it doesn't discredit what he did at Boise.

    Not to mention that savior QB, wasn't highly drafted and hasn't done anything in the league, if he's still there.

    But still
    Kellen Moore was good, but he's not fucking John Elway.

    " To wit, Boise lost seven games in Petersen's final two seasons, or more than twice as many as he did in his inaugural season and all the Moore years combined. A bad run, perhaps, but Petersen also posted three losses in 2007 — as many as that entire five-year glory stretch — before Moore arrived to vault the program back up."

    Where do we sign up for a bad run like that?

    Remember, that's losing seven games over two seasons in the WAC.

    Two losses to SDSU
    A loss each to Fresno State and BYU
    A loss to Oregon State
    A loss to Warshington
    A loss to a 7-6 Michigan State
    But a win over Warshington in the Lawnmower Bowl

    Careful. I've got some measles vaccine and I'm not afraid to use it.

    what those teams had was awesome DL and DB play, as well as play action. which isn't anything unless you have a formidable running game.

    kellen was definitely a game manager, and was very accurate, but he wasn't a one man show.
