    This has to be trolling. Comparing 2 years of football to over a decade of basketball?

    Your boy Saban didn't win shit in 6 years at MSU and lost to an FCS school year 1 at Bama.

    You're like a 50 year old talking shit to a 3 year old for not having a 401k.


    Petersen has underwhelmed, but his program has just begun. He'll win 10 next year or deserve to be shit canned. Can't fast forward time to the next season.

    Nope. Direct comparison.

    In first 2 years, Romar > Petersen.

    Then in year 3 Romar hit the jackpot. Petersen (the coach everyone loves to love) has a LOT of work to do to match Lorenzo (the coach everyone loves to hate).

    I'm saying now, he won't do it.

    And don't give me any BS about Petersen having to rebuild from nothing. He took over a 9 win team. Romar inherited a team that won 11 games.

    You don't understand how sports work. Managing a roster of 105 for 22+ different positions is way harder than 12 for 5 spots.

    A teenager can be an all-star in the NBA. No teenager has ever been allowed in the NFL.

    This discussion is over. You're officially lumped into the D2D and Hondo category of idiotic posters.
    So you're saying it's hard?

    It's hard

    We could do worse

    Husky Football! Feel the lack of excitement!

    Romar's failures are numerous and well documented.

    And yet Romar's accomplishments far outshine Petersen's.
    If you're only counting what they've done at Washington, yes.

    I think I've made that pretty clear.

    It is sad when the only defense for Petersen is "he was good at Boise" "he needs more time to get his guys in there" and "Sark left him nothing".

    Replace Boise with USC and Sark with Ty, and these are word for word the same excuses used to prop up Sark despite his shit record.

    But this time is "different"

    Ty won multiple Rose Bowls at Stanford

    Whether you think he will do good things or not isn't the point.

    I get it.

    Most don't judge coaches on two years though.

    So am I from riding your mom.
    My mom died 40 years ago. It's not surprising that riding her has been a bit boring.

    Thomas, when you say in year 3 Romar hit the jackpot, that's not exactly true. He hit the jackpot when he took the job. There were 3 NBA players on the roster, one being ROTY and all-star before he even signed on the dotted line. 4/5 starters in his "magical" year 3 were here because of Bender. As has been pointed out, it takes a whole lot more effort to turn around a team of 85 than a team of 12. Petersen inherited no pac12 level QBs, 1 returning starter on the OL and only 1 player in the secondary with significant game experience.

    And Romar did not "win the conference" in year 3. Arizona did. Washington won the gimmick pac10 tournament after the regular season. So even when Petermen doesn't win the Pac12 this year, he won't have the opportunity to claim a 2nd chance championship.

    Teams we play next year with new QBs starting for them:

    Oregon
    Stanford
    Cal
    USC
    Arizona St
    Utah

    That's 6 of 9 QBs on our PAC schedule

    3 OOC games should be some rather easily wins.

    Oregon St is Oregon St.

    Arizona can't play defense.

    That leaves the Cougs.

    If you can't that next year is shaping up to be a great year for the Dawgs, you also probably think that Clay Helton will get USC turned in the right direction.
