Question for the people who had written off Petersen...
Comments

Who wrote him off? I don't recall anyone saying they wanted Pete fired. Even the most cynical of us have been in win or GTFO mode.

I said I wanted him fired last year. Very clear about it. At this juncture I am still in LIPO mode because as others have said we haven't actually done anything yet (I mean the lead pipe wins are awesome but if we drop three in a row then wtf). He wins the conference this year then I will retract everything I said and withhold cocaine from myself for one day as penance.EsophagealFeces said:Who wrote him off?

When coaches lose they suck. When they win, they are good.
I always said I would support Peterman if he won. I wasn't going to support the same bs, "he's building something, the damage Sark did, we have no talent, etc."
After 15 fucking years, it had gotten beyond old. Win or GTFO... Same as it ever was. -
I'm with the coaches unless we lose to Arizona State, Utah, or Wazzu.CuntWaffle said:Where do you stand now? I'm genuinely curious. This isn't a call out thread.

I think everyone here wants a coach like Pete. Dude is a fucking boss, super competitive, actual adult, competent, hates fuckheads and subtly trolls relatively consistently.
But, 2014 was a fucking nightmare and last year was barely better (last year had the Gabe Marks destruction, though, so... that was fun). I don't blame anyone for not wanting to put up with bullshit.
This year, the difference is - at least to me - we look like those Boise teams that were swaggy, well-coached, skullfuckers. Except with P5 athletes. That's probably why I'm most optimistic is because I see a continuation of what he was doing right at Boise and I'm dooging out over it.
But no one seemed to have anything personal against him. Like, it would've really sucked if Sark won 10 because he sucks and I hate him (though he never would've). But with Pete, I think everyone here wanted someone like Pete to bring us back. It's just that '14 and '15 were bullshit primarily.
'16s looking good so far and if we can take care of biz down the stretch everyone here will bleat. -
This. I never wanted anything but Pete to succeed. I wanted Sark to succeed. And Ty. There is no coach that comes here that I don't want to win big. But, the last 15 years has taught me to not put up with any bullshit and probably makes my trigger pretty twitchy.Dennis_DeYoung said:I think everyone here wants a coach like Pete.

40% in; Pete and crew showing great promise. There are 9 games left (60%). Ask again on New Year's Eve and then again on Jan. 10

Going 6-0 this season made me forget about some of the criticisms I've had toward this staff and makes me feel more confident about the job they'll do going forward. However, there is still a lot of football to play this season so I'm not going to jump to any conclusions one way or the other.
But, like I said....I'm feeling confident and good.... -
I'm like 81% in. Develops talent, emphasizes defense, develops talent, his teams outmuscle everybody, develops talent, doesn't get plungered, develops talent, hates Dawgman, develops talent, plungers people...he's everything I want in a coach, he just didn't win until this year.
Now that he's winning I'd have his babies. He just needs to FINISH. -
If Pete loses a game this year, he should be fired immediately.
