    I'm too busy right now fast forwarding through the TCU game to put a stream of thoughts out on today's game ... but there's a huge offensive problem right now. It's not an individual here and there but very much systematic.

    The 4 games so far this year combined with the next 8 games are watershed marks on Petersen's career IMO. If the offense doesn't improve, this needs to be a look in the mirror moment where a transformational leader/coach recognizes that things need to improve and to perhaps look outside of his bubble for help/guidance. Leaders/coaches that fail are those that a) can't admit when they make mistakes and b) are stubborn to a fault.

    Don James made changes and adapted when needed. The stories about adapting defensively after getting blown away by Alabama are legendary. Just as legendary, but not often talked about, was how he moved the offense away from a heavy run based offense into more of a balanced run/throw attack in the late 80s into the 90s. Likewise, if you look at the recent success of TCU lately, Gary Patterson made changes to his offense when faced with underperformance. Top end coaches make the changes that they need to.

    My concern with Petersen is that he believes so much in his system (and there's a lot to like in his system), that he's afraid to go outside of his system to find new thoughts. New thoughts aren't bad things. The key if doing so is to find a coach that brings new thoughts/ideas to grow the system but buys in and believes with the core values of the system.

    It's three o'clock here basically. i'm drunk. There's no fucking way i'm reading that. have an upvote because you're my man, but fuck... or... BUTT FUCK.

    I agree with the look in the mirror moment, but is Pete going to think his problem is because of the system, or because we are playing an offense that is essentially freshman and sophomores?
