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.

3 things I see that are attributable to Coach P that have helped this year:
1 - Hamdan has been a huge upgrade on Pease, and the WR play has born this out.
2- Smith is calling better games, and Browning has executed the calls better. As a qb coach and oc, we're better.
3 - Strausser and Socha have turned the O Line frim a liability to an asset, with room to get better.
At the end of the day, the HC gets his due for the assistants doing better -
I enjoy winning

I'm not going to lie. I had doubts last year. I could also see he was trying to build something and the team had a lot of young players. It's an excuse most on here are tired of, but last year wasn't going to be a 10-2 year. It just wasn't. We all knew it going in. You could see the team was losing a lot of close games that with more experience they would probably win.
The fundamentals, especially on defense, started to shine last year. The team could actually tackle and swarm to the ball. Let's face it, a lot of teams can't...probably the majority. Doing what you're supposed to do isn't a great accomplishment, but it's nice to see your team doing it.
I'm still not convinced Smith just magically transformed into the offensive genius people like Hugh proclaim him to be. There were too many mystery calls last year. Sure, some of it was execution. A lot of it was just being stubborn and stupid. Some totally discount Tedford...bullshit. Tedford is at least helping and probably has a lot of input on plays. At the very least, he's in Smith's ear during the week and schooling him on scenarios and play calls.
He seems to have most of the pieces in place. The Pac 12 also sucks. There won't be more than three ranked teams. There might be only two. I'll take the wins either way. -

Nobody but Kim and Fetters had written Peterman off. Most jaded fans here took a prove it stance.
Except for Swaye, if he doesn't get satisfaction in >20 min. He's demanding a refund. -
He was 8-10 after 2 years. The skepticism was warranted.
It's always been win or gtfo. -

Everyone wrote Petersen off. Race, Tommy, Boobs, J?
Just kidding.... I understand the frustrastion with Husky football. So bad for so long... Petersen seemed to be slipping into the same profile.
You guys still aren't allowed on the bandwagon! We need real fans like Pumpy who won't let us win until 2018! Take note Race or we will kick you in the cunt again!
Jk you guys are right. Petersen sucks until he doesn't and right now he doesn't.
Just glad we can all agree.
J?
Yea I'm drunk.
Fuck. -

Nothing changed with me. Just got call from FRANNY 5 minutes ago and told me I was to show up inMaltby. If dad has stuff to do have him leave with you. I'll have Anna take me and Dad can leave with you. I would prefer u and dad leave together. I'll ask Anna. Shouldn't be a problem. If she can't I'll let you knowPurpleJ said:Way to wagon jump cuntfork!

I'm all in as long as the ass kickings continue.

Look, we all want to win a Natty every year, we wanted Petersen to walk in and change us into Alabama on steroids within the first half hour...
I also want the Oregon cheer squad to beg me for a night of round robin with them providing the blow, pot and scotch.
But it's not possible or realistic.
Anyone who watched Lambo and then Neu and then Gilby and then Ty and then Sark and couldn't tell over the last two seasons that Pete was different, I can't help you.
A coach, if he's good, should show it in the first three years.
DJ took year three, Pete is doing the same. -
I was right about Petersen. Simple fact.

I've loved Pete throughout, but I certainly can't fault the people that said they weren't impressed with him in his first two seasons.
I just felt that after all the years of bullshit about "we are building something" that we were actually building something.
