Petersen made adjustments
1. Terrible linemen left from Sark - he has brought in a couple of studs and coached up the other ones to be serviceable
2. Babushka - he hired Tedford to knock the stupid out of Smith (hopefully t stays this way)
3. WR never improved - he fired the WR coach and brought in a new one who not only has made Ross/Pettis on of the best in the conference... but in the entire nation.
4. A shit stable of QBs - he went out and made sure he got his guy for the next 4 years.
Took a little longer than it should have but I'm glad that when I watch the offense now I have confidence they can actually sustain a drive.

The first two years I was calling for a new OL coach.
Now I'm thinking he is pretty good, whoever the fuck he is. (I can't remember names when I'm hungover and I'm too lazy to look it up right now)
Meanwhile, Stanford's OL is going to shit. Who would have predicted this, this year? -

I don't blame Strausser for being left with a bunch of pudgy noodle armed linemen who all had the mental toughness of a kicker.
I really don't think people understand how bad the linemen were that Sark left. They were an embarrassment. No matter how good of a coach you are you don't turn that shitshow into good in your first year or even two.
Coaching matters the most but talent is also big. -
All in doogs!

Agree to an extent, but his recruiting sucks balls. Doesn't matter if you can take the leftovers and turns them into all conference types, but I think the jury is still out. Plus I need someone to hate. I can't get used to winning overnight.

He did get McGary and Trey Adams. Nick Harris looks like he could be decent. Roberts still has time.Swaye said:

I don't disagree his recruiting could be better but I still think time will tell. I think Vera Tucker flips once we beat USC by 40 at home.
At the very least the lines improvement this year has let him go from "fire his ass yesterday" to "LIPO". -
Yeah Strauser's recruiting hasn't been fantastic, but if we keep winning, and as guys see what he can produce on the OL, we should get more OL guys interested in our program.
All I'm saying is, I don't hate him anymore. Our OL is better than both Stanford's and Oregon's. That is pretty cool. -
This is a question that @CokeGreaterThanPepsi can probably answer. What geographic region does Strauser recruit and what players is he responsible for bringing in?
-
I will admit that Nick Harris has been a pleasant surprise. Still hate Strausser.

Agree. Playing as a true freshman OL is impressive. Unless Sark is the coach then it's just a desperation move.Swaye said:I will admit that Nick Harris has been a pleasant surprise. Still hate Strausser.

Not playing Ross at fucking cornerback helps.

Passing down field instead of nothing but bubble screens helps.

Strausser's recruiting has been absolute shit. We've got blown the fuck away for anyone good we wanted who wasn't 1 - white and 2 - coming to Washington no matter what.
McGary was recruited by Kwat on D.
Trey was already committed and said he re-upped because he believed in Pete. HenRob was coming no matter what.
Nobody wanted Matt James.
Nobody wanted John Turner (who?)
Nobody wanted Burleson.
Nobody wanted Nick Harris.
His only W in recruiting is Twattenberg and no matter what ANYONE says, we took Harris to guarantee Twat wouldn't defect to the Tree.
Look, it's cool if you can find diamonds in the rough, but that's not a sustainable fucking recruiting strategy. He had THREE YEARS to flip Fozz and he's going to get blown out by a team we destroyed this year. He got outfoxed on AVT who is PERFECT for our offense. By fucking USC. Nip is his coach! Eifler came last year! We can't get fucking Henry in the boat to save our lives (even though he will eventually come because he is going to UW no matter what).
These are serious issues.
You want all your coaches to be like Hamdan, Malloe, Gregory, Kwat and Lake - great results on the field AND great results in 'crootin.
I will change my tune if we get Fozz and AVT, but we won't. We are going to get stuck with the bottom of the fucking barrel again and by the way - the guys that are out there beasting Stanford and Oregon - ARE NOT BOTTOM OF THE BARREL GUYS. Trey and Kaleb were BIG TIME croots. Fucking Brostek was pretty big time (he had a lot of good offers). Jake E was really underrated in HS (always loved him, go back and read my dawgman poasts faggots!) and Coleman Shelton isn't that good.
So, yeah - it matters. However, I will say this, between he and Socha our line (particularly our Ts and Jake E) looks fucking badass.
We are going to miss Jake E a lot. Dude is a banger. -
Strausser is a kraut-eating white supremacist fuckstick until he learns to recruit guys that aren't goofy white guys from Gorst.

I'll take a superior teacher who isn't a great recruiter versus the reverse for OL coach ten times out of ten. I'd love to have one who is both.
Who is like that? Greatwood at Oregon? His line just got its shit pushed in, big time. -

NO ONE WANTS THE FUCKING REVERSE YOU FUCKMONKEY. WE WANT ABUNDANCE YOU SHIT BIRD. -
I want Strausser to recruit better. Fuck, I want Jimmy Lake to recruit better too.
But the point is if you are going to call out a coach as somebody you hate because he should be doing something better, you ought to be able to point to a better option. Otherwise the shit ain't as obvious as it might seem on the surface.
And I'm annoyed by the fact some of the more egregious trolls and asshats around here aren't doing their fucking mea culpas. These are guys who would call someone a doog for expressing a single optimistic opinion, who continue to cling to stale, bullshit narratives or who move the goalposts now.
I don't think you're in that category. -

What the fuck happened to our kickers though.

Jake Eldrenkamp is fucking good. He had a phenomenal open field block on Gaskins screen to close out the first quarter... and a pancake... and a bunch of other shit. He and Adams are demo'ing these pussy PAC-12 lines. Sample and Dissly are killing the edges. There's some serious player development occurring.
On AVT @Dennis_DeYoung I'm guessing he took the SC offer because it's SC and he can still trip. If he commits to Pete no trips no coeds no meals. I bet he flips. -
Speed speed speed!
