Very good article. Pretty much notes everything that has been said here by various poasters.
Last paragraph...
I certainly can’t predict what Petersen will do at the end of the season and the offense may yet come alive but my guess is that without significant improvement there will be more than soul searching going on at Montlake. This is not a rant on Smith but if the results are not clear and I mean by that consistent, tangible improvement then some change might be inevitable. There are coaches out there like Mike Sanford who is sharing duties right now at Notre Dame who might be interested in a job where he has total control. However, it is likely that Petersen would have to forsake the Boise State coaching tree and go to someone like Doug Nussmeier who had that National Championship team at Alabama and has now resurrected the long dead Florida offense. Would he do that or will we be asked to swallow the patience pill for another year? One has to wonder though when will we reach the point that transition and youth are just descriptors not excuses.

Great article. They jacked a lot of points made here, brought more data, and removed the fucks, kills, rapes, and tits that are present in the posts made here.

One thing that I thought was a really good point was the impact that Herman leaving Ohio State has had ... hadn't really thought about it like that. But definitely they are having problems getting all the pieces to fit combined with a too many chefs in the kitchen causing them to really lose a bit of their identity.

Wtf'd for linking uwdoogpound, I'm surprised this post wasn't flagged over there for being too nega.

Seattle losing their defensive coordinator has had an impact as well.Tequilla said:One thing that I thought was a really good point was the impact that Herman leaving Ohio State has had ... hadn't really thought about it like that.

Atlanta 4-0 ... Seattle 2-2 ... -
Nick Saban says he hires assistants to do what he wants, not what they want. Says when they move up as he hopes they do the program doesn't suffer.
Petersen has to have a philosophy or offense or its moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
He also said he had no idea what Kiffin's problems were as a head coach.
"I hired him as an assistant. We have a head coach."
Said Kiffin probably is the best since he got to Bama.
So yes, a good OC is good. But a good head coach is better -
Damnit, that is a really good article. Lot of arguments that many of us have made on here, we should have crowdsourced an article.
Anyways, I agree with that article because it is basically what all of us have been saying. Petersen needs to admit defeat on offense and pull a Patterson. -
1. Fuck UWDoogPound. Humorless fucks permabanned me for not getting in the line to bleaux Sark. I used to like Kirk at DM.c but fuck them all.
2. I read your copy/paste and was with them until they started dooging over Nussmeier. They just couldn't help themselves. -
The one thing that article did not mention is that in modern day football, where offense has ALL of the advantages there is no reason to not expect that making an overhaul on offense can not turn the offense around immediately. There doesn't need to be excuses next year if UW makes an OC change, if it is the right hire they can get better right away.

We already knew that huskyfaninaz is a closet doog, but I didn't know Chester was slurping up on Nuss as well.

Great story. Particularly great was the comment that there is no clear sense what Smith is trying to do, or what identity he is trying to establish.
It's just random crap until we line up to punt the football.
