My Thoughts On The State of The 2015 Team

Expect, demand, bitch, whine and moan 'till the cows come home. It's not worth a hill of beans. Take off the entitled, purple glasses, and you'll see the overwhelming youth at nearly every position on offense is going to lead to some shitty games. I don't like it any more than anyone else on the board, but that doesn't change reality.RoadDawg55 said:

Show me one P5 team that has that amount of youth. And if one exists/existed, I pretty certain the results of that offense sucked balls.
However, Smith/Petersen's offense, as you've pointed out before, is entirely to cutesy. At this point, my guess is Smith is DOA, and rightly so. -
I'm Cockusing this thread with so many poasts, but this. We're young. We are also losing close games to mediocre teams. It has happened way too much the past two seasons to not be sofuckingirrating.gif.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:Even Petersen acknowledged that the future is NOW. UW had a chance to be 4-0 with just average offensive play and couldn't do it.

I expected to beat Cal before the season started too.
But then Charles had to retire and the other holdovers from the previous regime who backed up last year's OL looked pretty underwhelming so Strausser decided to blow it up and go with the young guys.
So having 3 freshmen starting on the OL and 4 total underclassmen in front of a true frosh QB, yeah there will be some growing pains.
Plus the Cal was favored by 4.5 to 6.5 points for much of the week going into the game and they have a top 10 QB who is going to take advantage of 5 TO's (4 by true freshmen and 1 by Dwayne Washington).RoadDawg55 said:

What would you expect Petersen to say? That this is a rebuilding year, and the fans just need to be patient? Probably not too smart for a guy who is paid a ton of money to win.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:Even Petersen acknowledged that the future is NOW.

And please don't go the "we could have been 4-0" route. You're a better poster than that.
I'll try this one more time. Show me one P5 team that has/had our youth on offense that didn't shit the bed more often than not. -
Dear REAL God I hope your insider is Peterman.HFNY said:I had a back and forth with someone very close to the program (an "insider" if you will).
As far as Smith goes, it comes down to executing and knowing your guys. He's not a bad coordinator. But he has had his share of fuck ups. We'll see what happens with him but this person doesn't see him being around much longer. -
We have the worst offense in the conference so far. For the 2nd year in a row. We would be 4-0 with a better offensive system. Last year it was Cyler's fault. This year it's the youth. You yourself finally admitted what is hitting you in the face... This offensive system sucks. Posters used to make these excuses for Ty and Sark. They were called doogs. This is the 4th year of bad offense for Petersen. We've been over this again and again.HuskyInAZ said:

I think the team will start to click around Helloween and November. That's not what people want to hear or deserve, and people have a right to impatience after one top 25 finish in 13 years, but it's just the reality of the situation.
I've said this numerous times, but if you are expecting PC, Rural Meyer or Saban, it's unlikely. Warshington has never gone 51-9 over five years since the 20s or some ancient leather helmet time.
If you're expecting fairly consistent top 25 finishes and a Rose Bowl every few years, that's definitely possible and failure of those objectives is grounds for termination. -
Strausser is least of my concerns.
Go away:
Smiff and Peace
Still Open on:
Keith B - Warsh had fumbling issues predating Keith. At some point, it's on the player. Warsh isn't Wendell Tyler, so it's hard to tolerate his fumblitits. I don't think it's on Keith. I will say, he needs to recruit a second RB this class - the position depth is decidedly mediocre excepting Gaskin. -
FUCK
I suppose one of these times over the last 15 years or so this line of insider bullshit that we get after every new coach is exposed could actually be true BUT I WILL BELIEVE IT WHEN I FUCKING SEE IT.
Awfully young culture change next year or the year after fucking special as always.
What fucking entitled purple glasses are you talking about. Get the shit out of your eyes and your head out of pool boy's ass and grab a fucking clue. -
Removing the feces from my throat, terrible recruiting and roster management for 15 years has resulted in UW being Cal. At some point, UW was going to get a real coach and they'd have to rebuild the roster. I think Pete's that guy. He needs to make some changes, but TSIO in August so it's about progress. Don't make it right. Not happy. Skeptical still. But demanding improved offense play calling is probably the most immediate improvement HHB can agitate for.
