    Climpson should have fired Dabo after year 4 when he went 10-4 and lost the Orange Bowl 70-33 to West Virginia.

    Washington isn't located in the Deep South.

    If you want to win a natty at Washington, you have to optimize recruiting, player development, and game management.
    There's been one Tier II program to win a NT since TN in 1998. And it was in year 8.5 of Dabo's tenure. We had to have a few good (not NT caliber though) season's to optimize recruiting, which just happened. Nothing has changed with the plan; we are on schedule. Since I am a faggy atheist I don't expect miracles.

    You're only in that game because of Peterman. It's not like 3 yards was automatic for Gaskin yesterday. That was a no brainer given how the game was going at that point.

    Peterman is what gave you a chance at it; you were outclassed on the field for a majority of the game.

    Honestly I just don't know how you can even give me this question.

    I agree

    But that pussy punting shit has to stop.

    Petersen is Mike Bellotti with a stable home life. You'll have some highs, have some lows, and a shit ton of in between. You'll be back in three years.

    I just got back from an alternate universe. Peterman did indeed go for it on 4th. Jake got sacked, PSU took over and scored. Here's Baabs' post:

    Why Coaching Matters

    It sucks to lose a 7 point game when the coach goes for it on 4th down in the second quarter and gives the opponent a short field to easily score.

    Right, just like 2000 & 2001. 2002-2004 is coming.

    The punt in that situation was the right call. The problem was Coach Pete, like the majority of this board, was convinced he had an #elitedefense based on the dreckfest Pac 12 and the cupcake city OOC schedule.
