    In no way am I suggesting being Chest or the HFP ...

    What I am saying is that you can be critical without going 5 miles over the line ... and let's be honest, there are some on this site that have no problem going way over the line.

    They've gone over the line since Gerberding. That's half the reason people act like this. Treat football in a (vomit) SEC, Texas (the state), or Michigan/ the OSU way, where it's a priority, and people will be happy..
    Texas is in the middle of this right now with Charlie Strong and how they handled the end of Mack Brown ...

    Michigan got tired of hearing about how bad Lloyd Carr was and spent the better part of a decade unwinding from that mistake.

    BS happens everywhere ... but it's been a while since the UW program has been run well.

    Biggest problem I see is that there are some that are holding the program to standards that it has never achieved.
    The problem you don't see, or chose to ignore, is many on this board are holding the program to standards it consistently achieved: winning and contending for confrence championships. Major Bowl Apperances. Final rankings in the Top-20 and occasionally real shots at National Championships.

    Jen Cohen can hate HH and write us off as crass hate filled morons. She can point to the picture of her taken with Don James. But if she doesn't deliver the results represented by the man in that photo she, just like the rest of you Doogs, is a fraud.

    Solid poast. I am admittedly more doogish than some on hear but not when it comes to the administration of Husky athletics as I have railed upon on the poddings.

    There's always a reason behind vitriol and anger if you care to drill down. HHBs can be dogmatic. But there's logic behind the dogma. And it's not hard to find.

    Make football the most important thing at the UW. reward performance. Get rid of slackers. Run it like a business not a rainbow coalition. It's not a social experiment. Fuck the pussies. Go see the Seahawks admins for advice. They get it.

    Fuck @puppylove_sugarsteel could do better.

    How is this hard?
    Optimism is great. To Jen's credit, she's cut some people loose. Will she deliver? (Fuck, I'm sounding like KG) Past history isn't on her side. Show me. I've heard it. I want to see it.

    Don James died. He won (fuck off Kim) Pumpy died. Pumpy was no Don James.

    And Koop, thank you for your service.
    Scott Woodward also cut some people loose.

    IF this board holds this program to the above standards you spell out I'm in 100% agreement ... it's the standards that I've said for a long time are the realistic expectations for a SUCCESSFUL UW coach.

    What I fear is that when UW loses a game this year it will be treated as if hell is freezing over and that Petersen needs to be immediately fired.


    As for Cohen, her job will be evaluated based on her record and actions ... showing a picture taken with James as an indication that you are qualified for the job is a fucking joke.
    Anytime we loose a game this is how most of us feel.

    We would have fired Don James.
    And that's the part that blows my mind ...

    There would have been a shit ton here that if TCU's season last year was what UW had this year would have been all over Patterson. He arguably had one of his better years last year.

    I get the freaking out over one game ... but it's got to be balanced with perspective.

    In the process I absolutely agree with you

    As an outsider, holding people to a standard of perfection isn't realistic

    Me: "Hey boss, when you say no damages and no injuries on any job ever I know that's just the process we strive for as a company but from the outside our customers understand that standard of perfection isn't realistic."

    Boss: "You're fired."

    Dobie, Bryant, James, Carroll, Meyer, and Saban obviously didn't get the memo.
