Petersen's way is "trust the process" ... and that's what he's doing. Yeah, we wish it would be a little (or alot) more mercenary like the top programs do it.
Saban has no problem saying "hey, it doesn't look like you're the right fit around here ... have you looked at other programs to get more playing time?"
Part of the problem is that Petersen is invested in this process ... he's had to do it for years at Boise where development > recruiting.
So, we're going to wait until year 7 or 8 when the sustained success pays off in better recruits and overall elevation of the program. It's gonna take that long though.
But goddamn ... whiffing in recruiting is going to slow the process down significantly ... -
Our best hope is that Peterson's ego gets bruised, pushing him to harsher judgments and decisions. The nice guy who works hard thing worked great in the Mountain West, but it won't get it done in the Pac12, and I think Peterson is realizing that reality. After compiling the record he had at Boise, there's no way he wants to retire in mediocrity. The question is how far he is willing to go, and what he's willing to do to win like he did before? What guy wants to admit the best part of his life is behind him? Nobody. And not Pete.
He boxed himself in with the post-Alabama loss "the bar has been raised" comments, and better recruiting is a big part of that bar-raise. Coaching and development alone can't get it done, and Pete is learning that right now. Pete is doing almost everything right, but not everything right. Until he does everything right, he won't reach that raised bar he's set for his program. And he knows that. I believe Pete has the ball-size necessary to raise the bar, more than any glad-handing, ass-kissing coach we've had in two plus decades. If not this guy, and if not this decade, then when? Fuck it. UW stays on this arc and keeps climbing, or we turn the stadium back into a landfill. I'm keeping my money on Pete for now. -
It's always fun when the front page bashes the players.

I’m doubtful Pete will make the changes necessary to raise the bar. His “trust the process” is a part of his core identity, which is a very good thing for most the players who will become better men and not play football after college. But it won’t consistently produce elite caliber results.
I’m concerned Pete will remain true to his process and reveal that he is really just a try hard white guy. Raise the bar means try harder for him. He needs an Alice Cooper No More Mr. Nice Guy paradigm shift. If he’s unable to adapt to this reality, his legacy at UW will only be a one hit wonder last season.

Maybe he'll fail at uw and randomly become a decent NFL head coach.

This is why I have no issue with forking over the big bucks for this type of premium content.

He's extremely competitive and smart enough to realize the Pac 12 isn't the Mountain West. It's not like there weren't some thugs who got in trouble at Boise CC. Washington won't ever be Miami, but I think he wants to win badly and will adjust accordingly.Homebrew_Dawg said:I’m doubtful Pete will make the changes necessary to raise the bar.

we* play better at home. beat Utah and Cuog this is still a 10-11 win team. Not ideal, not bad.
Lose to Utah and Cuog and maybe Pettis, Vita, Gaines sit out the “WhoCares Bowl sponsored by Washington Canibus Growers” for business reasons and suddenly, this is an 8 win team on a 3 game losing streak returning Brownsox at QB with no receivers or DL and all Sarks recruits gone. -
I prefer this assessment to be more accurate than mine. Presently I think he is more determined to win his way than to adjust. I hope I’m wrong.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:
