OF COURSE THEY'RE FUCKING MORONS. THEY'RE HIGH SCHOOL COACHES AND 90% OF HIGH SCHOOL COACHES ARE FUCKING SNOWFLAKE FUCKS.
I've never met a person who spent considerable time in athletics who wasn't overly sensitive. It's the price you pay to be in a weird cult.
WHO GIVES A FUCK?
Three things:
1. Right or wrong, it makes no fucking difference. This shit represents a serious threat to Pete and his staff's ability to land the kind of players we need.
2. This modern era of 'tell them to go fuck themselves' is Marvel Movie blustery bullshit. You want to draw 5mil from UW every year? This is part of that job. It's a fucking disgrace that our populous now thinks that pragmatism is stupid and posing like you're in a fucking Batman movie is the way to get things done.
3. Last, it's not just Beach and Garfield that feel this way. As long as UW is handing out offers like candy to out of state kids (see the past week) and waiting to offer in state kids (again, see the past week) this will be a perception. I know for a fact that this is a narrative that's developed ACROSS THE STATE in the last year or so. This is just the beginning of this.

Again, I think Beach is FS for this tweet. OBVIOUSLY. Fucking Kalepo is committed. Fucking WSU passed on all those kids too. WHO GIVES A FUCK?
I think Thomas is FS, but you guys are fucking complete morons about this tough guy shit. Being a head football coach, you have to be a diplomat as well. This may not hurt us this or next year, but when 2020 and 2021 roll around, if this shit metastasizes, we are going to be fucked by this for no reason.
It's a fucking battle of egos. Who gives a shit?
Just do whatever it takes to make these people feel like you give in-state players the first and most serious look. Go over your process with all the head coaches. Try and help these coaches get jobs at colleges. Whatever.
I don't like it, but it's part of the job.
Pete's gotta deal with it one way or another.
with all due respect i completely disagree with you on this.
Fuck man. Managing in-state HS coaches' egos is one of the top requirements of any fucking job.
Any time you guys agree with the Doogs on doogman you know you are adopting the FS position.
He's not perfect, but there is no way I believe he goes out and creates toxic relationships with high school coaches. You know the old saying, "it ain't fo everyone".
God you guys are fucking dense. You think my argument is that Pete is a prick?
Stab yourself in the fucking face.
Pete is a fucking genius.
It doesn't change the fact that a top-line fucking aspect to being a head football coach is massaging the egos of in-state people.
I'm starting to see all the same fucking dawgman doog bullshit from you fucking losers as well.
I've already seen 'These coaches cheat' 'Sav'ell probably will go to Bama anyway' 'Sav'ell said Stanford is his favorite school' 'I'm more worried about Bellevue (who won't produce another fucking DI player forever)' 'Tracy Ford produces REAL talent'.
Delete your fucking accounts and come back when you can fucking reason about social situations beyond 'I DONT LIKE THAT IT'S BAD, SNARL!'

Dennis is right on 81% of his rant ...
Part of the whole thing is playing politics and perception is often greater than reality (I know this as well as anybody) ...
The thing that we ultimately have to reconcile is that our out-of-state offers are because the talent is better than what we have in-state and if we want to make the leap then we need more elite players ...
We have to be forthright with our in-state targets and whatnot letting them know where they stand ... if we ask them to be candid with us we must do the same or risk losing credibility ...
That being said there are a lot of idiots at the HS level that like to think they are the shit when in reality they are shit ... I don’t blame Pete for wanting to avoid that mess ... but Dennis is right that for better or worse massaging those egos is part of the deal -

You guys are fucking morons on this.
You are making the dumb fucking mistake of equating 'not liking this and thinking the coaches are FS' to 'it doesn't matter'.
@dnc - if you have a wife, you know - she might get irrationally upset about something and it might not be a big deal and it might be completely invalid, etc, but you still have to fucking deal with it if you want peace.
You know who thought he could tell coaches to go fuck themselves and still win? Lambo.
Lambo could not get one decent fucking black player out of Washington at the end of his career. You guys don't remember that?
Well - guess who was around back then - talking to both the HS coaches and Lambo's staff?
ME, that's who.
And I can tell you - we do not want a repeat of that shit.
Also, I suspect everyone (except for @Swaye and I excuse him because he's angry at everyone) that sees this as not a problem is white. That tells you a lot. You think that shit doesn't matter, you're living in a fucking fairy land.
Don't be a fucking Doog dumbass.
I repeat: any time you guys agree with dawgman, you are the doogs.
It's not a problem until it is a problem. Yes, Lambo was a fucking dumbass and completely fucked up many things, recruiting non-white in state kids and the entire state of Hawaii included.
If you really think Chris Petersen is Jim Lambright FS then I can't help you. Assuming Lake can't recruit before he has a bad class is stupid. Assuming Pete is going to blow it with in state black kids when he's literally gotten every in state black kid he wanted besides Snow Boarder is dumb.
I get that there's something in your DNA that requires you constantly have something to freak out about, but that doesn't make this worth freaking out about.
I'm not screaming tell these coaches to fuck off. I'm just saying Pete knows what he's doing. Every staff move he's made in the last two years demonstrates he values recruiting. He's not going to fuck this up.
He *might* miss on a kid or two he wanted because of this, but if he does he'll adjust quickly and get it fixed. The 2020 and 2021 in state bumper crops are going to shit gold and piss purple.
The chance this becomes Jim Lambright 2.0 is zero. -

with all due respect i completely disagree with you.
but in fairness, you have made your point...like 4 times in a row here...we get you fam but we just don't always agree witcha.
p.s. don't respond to this. -
We get DDY’s point. If these Seattle public schools were churning out a ton of PAC 12 guys, it would be a problem. It’s an overreaction because they don’t and probably never will.
How many metro players are on UW? Not many.
Something went on with Harrison’s recruitment. I wish we were getting him, but it’s obviously a strange case.
Smalls is a big time recruit. We offered him as a freshman. He still has over a year until he commits and around two years until he signs. Things change in recruiting all the time -
If UW keeps winning 10- 12 games per year and continues to be a legit CFP contender, the elite in-state kids will come here. Winning football games trumps all this other fucking minutia.

There's nothing wrong with a UW offer being exclusive. -
As long as we're winning, kids will want to play for us, especially local kids. In order for us to win, we have to take the best talent we can, and much of that is often out of state. I don't get the sense even for a second that Pete prefers out of state kids. If anything we probably give them a slight bump up our board.
I'd much rather we win and have a couple local coaches bitch and moan than return to the dark decade of the '00s where we sucked, we couldn't get any west coast talent, but we offered white cornerbacks from West Seattle HS to make local coaches happy. -

1. I was not a big 'Jimmy Lake is damaged goods' person. I simply said it's an equation you have to consider. BUT GUESS WHAT YOU FUCKING SHIT HEAD - they considered it after the damage they saw it did this year (that is straight out of the fucking football offices too, so go fuck yourself with the 'it didn't hurt us' bullshit) and the HIRED WILL HARRIS, promoted Lake to DC and gave him a billion fucking dollars. It doesn't make the 'hurr durr - nothing to look at here' crowd look smart. It makes you guys look like a bunch of fucking stupid pollyannas who thought everything was fine the way it was. Those things are huge changes. We deposed one of the top 5 DCs in the country due to that shit.dnc said:

2. The black kid thing - you're not black so you don't get it. That's really all I can say when you say preposterous shit like that. UW missed on Tre'Shaun this year, Conner last year... but if you think that Thomas isn't tapping into some general resentment and anger there is in the SEA toward UW, you are a fucking moron. And it's not JUST black kids, but it's particularly black kids. You can say it SHOULDN'T be that way and you will pretend the way is the world you want it to be, but that doesn't mean fucking shit.
3. Fuck you - LITERALLY every time I've been flipping out about something PETE HAS DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT. You fucking morons thought Strausser was 'FINE' and Nick Harris was great, and fucking Jake Browning was fucking awesome because of his fucking HS stats. I love you too, but don't start with this fucking bullshit. Everyone he's hired since Pease has been for recruiting purposes - and that's what me and Coker have been saying all along. But you guys think for some reason the fact that he fixed that shit after it was obviously broken is reason to think he's not fucking something else up.
4. Over the past month, I got a detailed blow by blow of how bad Pete fucked up Skinny's recruitment the first time. The feeling in-state is that Pete views WA kids on a slant. He takes longer to offer them and wants them to jump through more hoops for them to get an offer. This is straight from a fucking in-state coach. UW was blind-sided by Skinny committing to UGA. They were arrogant and thought they would see him throw a bunch and offer him before his senior year and get him and all would be fine. That same week Richt came in with their plan laid out to make Skinny the next Matt Stafford and while Skinny had always wanted to go to UW, that made a lot more sense to them than being slow played by a guy who'd never put a decent QB in the NFL. Plus everyone hated Smith.
So what did Pete do? He changed after what HE perceived as a major fuck up and a 'welcome to the big time' moment. That's why they offered Sirmon so early. That's why they offered Morris early. I've heard they like Millen more than Morris now, but they called their shot because they never want another Skinny situation to happen again.
To act like Pete doesn't have blind spots and make mistakes is completely FS.
5. The reason I'm exasperated is that you guys have this doog logic problem - you don't like Thomas and RBHS's stance and so you are saying it doesn't matter. It's just a fucking lazy position. It turns out that I don't like it either, but Pete has to deal with it. The blow-by-blow on Skinny was fucking embarrassing, but fit with the exact 'Pete wasn't ready for that situation and can be stubborn' narrative. That's why he kept Strausser around too long. Pease as well. That's why he hired a bunch of fucking white shit-heads and offered try-hards. Because he's stubborn. I fucking love him, but he's stubborn. But the issue is - each of these pieces of stubbornness rob us of years.
I'm not the one agreeing with the dawgman posters on this one. You guys are. Any time you're in that position you should think long and hard about whether having HIGH FUCKING STANDARDS has been the right way to go over the years or being like 'OH EVERYTHING'S FINE' has been the ticket.
Anyway, I love all of you. I've got the crud and I'm cranky. -

When/who was the last football player of any note from Rainier Beach?!?
And technically He was a Bball recruit. -
How are you writing all of these replies to Dennis when you clearly don't know how to fucking read? You're ascribing opinions to him that he doesn't have.
Nowhere did Dennis say that Peterman is an asshole or that he's ruining relationships with the local high school coaches. He fucking agreed with you guys that the high school coaches are morons and are creating drama for no reason. At no point did he blame coach Pete for this.
What Dennis is talking about is the fucking PERCEPTION that is starting to form out there. Whether or not that perception is fair (it's not) doesn't matter. Whether or not Peterman has done something wrong (he hasn't) doesn't matter. The fact is that the perception might be forming nonetheless.
What Dennis is saying is that it's Coach Pete's job to make sure that perception does take hold. The fact that the high school douche coaches are wrong doesn't mean that Peterman can tell them to go fuck a moving train. He has to do what he can to maintain those relationships and change the perception, whether it's unfair bullshit or not.
How hard is that to comprehend?
Fair is not the point. The fact is that it can get worse and hurt us in recruiting if we just ignore it like you doorknob-licking retards say we should.
Like it or not, maintaining good relationships with the sanctimonious asshole coaches of local high school programs is an important part of the job. -
Perception is reality.

Can we get back to what it takes for @dnc to get a piece from his wife?

Rick was smart enough to have him in the game to climb the stairs against your 6 foot 5 guy and get the pick. Nate was a freaksalemcoog said:

To misquote @NorwegianHusky "How are you writing all of these replies to dnc when you clearly don't know how to fucking read? You're ascribing opinions to him that he doesn't have."
And we'll just have to agree to disagree on Jimmy Lake. He got Gordon and Hampton signed before the promotion. They didn't promote him because he can't recruit now. They promoted him because if they didn't he would have gotten the promotion somewhere else.
And you talked to one high school coach so therefore you think there's a narrative growing throughout the state. This is the problem with inside information. People think one person who knows a little means a whole lot more than it does.
HS coaches may not love Pete.That's not going to keep their kids from coming to UW when UW wants them. -

The thing that you are missing @dnc is that if you aren’t actively monitoring what is going on around you that by the time you recognize that there is a problem it’s way too fucking late.
Why do you think that Pepsi, Dennis, and I railed so hard on Pease? Strausser? Malloe?
When you see trending that isn’t looking good you better damn well start course correcting. Malloe looks to be doing ok. Pease and Strausser never did. K is taking recruiting more seriously than ever.
Asking “why” every once in a while and being forward looking matters. If you are doing it right, you don’t need the results to tell you that you are successful because you already know what the results are going to be. -

Preach on Dennis ...

Lake may not have got the promotion before the first signing day but they made a very public deal at the fact that Lake was staying ... not a coincidence

It's not one coach man.dnc said:
What did I say that's preposterous about black kids? Literally all I said is he's gotten every black kid he wanted except Connor. And he has.Dennis_DeYoung said:
2. The black kid thing - you're not black so you don't get it. That's really all I can say when you say preposterous shit like that. UW missed on Tre'Shaun this year, Conner last year... but if you think that Thomas isn't tapping into some general resentment and anger there is in the SEA toward UW, you are a fucking moron. And it's not JUST black kids, but it's particularly black kids. You can say it SHOULDN'T be that way and you will pretend the way is the world you want it to be, but that doesn't mean fucking shit.
To misquote @NorwegianHusky "How are you writing all of these replies to dnc when you clearly don't know how to fucking read? You're ascribing opinions to him that he doesn't have."
And we'll just have to agree to disagree on Jimmy Lake. He got Gordon and Hampton signed before the promotion. They didn't promote him because he can't recruit now. They promoted him because if they didn't he would have gotten the promotion somewhere else.
And you talked to one high school coach so therefore you think there's a narrative growing throughout the state. This is the problem with inside information. People think one person who knows a little means a whole lot more than it does.
HS coaches may not love Pete.That's not going to keep their kids from coming to UW when UW wants them.
It's pretty much every in state coach I know and have heard from... maybe 15?
Also AGAIN I'm not saying they're right...
But, look at this last week... we offered 20 out of state kids and ZERO in-state kids.
Now *I UNDERSTAND WHY WE ARE DOING THAT* - got it - do you get it? I DENNIS DEYOUNG PERSONALLY UNDERSTAND IT...
...but I guarantee you there is a lot of butthurt at schools when they see people from fucking Kansas tweeting out offers from UW and UW has literally offered TWO in-state kids.
These schools are 'inner shitty' 'suburban' 'rural' traditionally good, not so much, etc.
You think Sumner feels great about the way they treated Ben Wilson? lol fuck no.
Now, IDGAF about Ben Wilson. I would have taken him, but I like Tafisi better. Whatever... it doesn't fucking matter. But they offered some fireplug out of TX instead of Ben, then when that shit went south and it looked like they weren't going to get Kaho, they initiated contact with Ben after not talking with him consistently for months.
That's the shit that got Sark ex-communicated locally. This is a fickle fucking place.
The same reason UW can basically sweep everyone is the same reason they can lose everyone: WWa is provincial. -
No, what you're missing is that this is common fucking sense and praise be to Allah Pete has shown this ability. I have confidence he'll course correct as needed because he's course corrected thus far. That's why the Lambo comp is FS. Lambo never showed that ability.Tequilla said:The thing that you are missing @dnc is that if you aren’t actively monitoring what is going on around you that by the time you recognize that there is a problem it’s way too fucking late.
Why do you think that Pepsi, Dennis, and I railed so hard on Pease? Strausser? Malloe?
When you see trending that isn’t looking good you better damn well start course correcting. Malloe looks to be doing ok. Pease and Strausser never did. K is taking recruiting more seriously than ever.
Asking “why” every once in a while and being forward looking matters. If you are doing it right, you don’t need the results to tell you that you are successful because you already know what the results are going to be.
I have no problem with people pointing things out or questioning things or hypothesizing how they should be handled. Some people get too hysterical with it and far too confident in their own explanations of the "why" and expect others to take them as gospel.
They're not. -
Holy shit ddy is pressing in this thread
So the program is in trouble because EWU kids are not getting UW offers?
Honestly fuck off DDY. You dont know 1/10th as much as you think you do about football -
Seattle and the PNW is the sensitive of the sensitive in this country ... this isn’t a new development

There's really just too many dudes with big egos in recruiting, between the college coaches, players and high school/7v7 coaches. Coach Pete isn't immune to this either, he believes he can win without the Tre'shauns of the world (and to be fair he kind of has). If he just sucked it up and played the 'recruiting' game more, we'd definitely be in a better position for the instate talent. I just don't see Pete doing that unfortunately.
I think DDY is being a little dramatic (as you would expect) but it's definitely a problem to keep an eye on for the future
