Article: Does Petersen have the Humility to Admit he Made a Mistake?

In a way that's not the point. Give it to Gaskin 17 times and DWarsh 8 times, instead, or whatever. The point is why put all the stress on a shitty, inexperienced QB to win the game when it's not necessary and pretty damn stupid?salemcoog said:IF Peterson were to fire Smith at the 50 now and not have the offense improve markedly. It would further expose him for what He is. A great non P5 coach but an average or who knows maybe even worse P5 coach. If you all had your wish of being able to run Gaskin 25 times per game, you'd probably be better off, but would he hold up all Season?

Nice 1st post dipshit. Care to state what you think Peter is delusional about? And dont spit out the obvious Johnny Smith bullshit. Has little to do with him. Ok Mayo, lets see what you got. This isnt dawgman, where you were posting this morning till boredom and kim ran you off, go ahead and feel free to speak here...

Seems like the line of thinking
on here is that Petersen won't
fire Smith because he never fires people.
Essentially he fired Robert Prince by not
bringing him over from Boise in the transition.
This is a coach who has a pretty good legacy
working. I can't imagine he wants to fuck
up that legacy by employing someone who is
effectively tarnishing it. Coach Pete has showed
pretty good balls so far when firing players.
I don't think he's scared to do the same with coaches.
We shall see.
P.S. Results on the field are still on the head
coach but Smith makes a pretty convenient scapegoat. -
Its actually the main thing that bothers me.Dennis_DeYoung said:
The other thing that bothers me is he sucks.DerekJohnson said:The other thing that bothered me about Smith was before the Oregon game, when he said the 11 game losing streak made him sick to his stomach and kept him up at night.
How can that be true? He hasn't been here and gone through everything that we've endured. It was a Sark kind of thing to say. -

write your posts
in poetic free verse,
or does the return button
just really turn you on? -
In the dark
I fell to the cobblestone
in the tilted alley
where I cried Petersen's name
-
Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.
How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.
Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.
Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.
I MISS WASHINGTON DAMMIT! -

Your picture of Peterman has too many big, straight, white teeth. Therefore your post is unbelievable. Try again. Faggy wink to you sir!PurpleJ said:I has poem...

Sorry, you can't fix stupid. And Jonathan Smith is just not bright. Dude scored a 27 on the Wonderlic. I bet you couldn't score that low on that test if you tried.Mad_Son said:

Good chit by our favorite dictator...
I dunno. Smith is clearly learning on the job which sucks. As I replied to Tequilla in the thread where @Gladstone has gone OBK on me Smith was clearly not the right hire but now that he is making improvement maybe he can be the right guy going forward. I appreciate and recognize @EsophagealFeces concern that it is too little too late because we still aren't there in terms of play calling. I don't think Petersen needs to stick with Smith and would happily welcome a proven, capable OC to replace Smith. I don't think replacement is the only possible route to success though. Maybe it is and in a year our offense will still suck and we'll need to clean house again. As @Dennis_DeYoung there is no fucking way Petersen is replacing Smith and I think that is probably true. Only time will tell.
Firing Smith is the obvious move but Pete won't do it. He'd rather adhere to the loyalty to his coaches than loyalty to his players mantra. Same crap we saw with Sark and Holt until there was enough pressure put on Sark to fire Holt. Unless fans/admin demand Pete fire Smith, he isn't going to do it, even if it means 1-2 fewer wins/year.

...yes
Had to spend some time on that, but I do think UW will win @Stanford and won't drop another random game. Apple Cup loss in Seattle doesn't look likely given results since Petersen took over.
UW will beat ASU/USC/Arizona rather easily in the Champ game, say 34-17. At this point UW either makes the CFP and gets beat by Bama by 17+ again, or makes the Fiesta Bowl and beats an Oklahoma/Penn State/Ohio State.
