We're not there yet....
Some of the areas that need to be cleaned up:
- Offensive play-calling
- QB play
- Pass Rush
- linebacker recruiting
- WR recruiting
I love Pete and he is moving in the right direction, however, the difference between being OK and winning NY6 games is "on the margin" stuff. You can't have a great defensive coordinator(which we do) and then not recruit pass rushers and expect to beat a NY6 type of team. EVERYTHING has to be elite. Competing for a national championship requires finding an edge against other staffs that can scheme, recruit and develop players just as well as we can. That means having ZERO holes. We know what are shortcomings are and until we fix them that means that we have to be content with not competing at an elite level.
If you want to compete for national championships then demand more. Demand more out of the coaches, the athletic department staff, the boosters, etc. However well we are doing now is simply not good enough to complete with Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, etc. Do we want to be close or do we want to actually win? We've been "close" for the past 4 years under Pete and we'll continue to be just "close" if nothing changes. Pete has done great things for our program and I LOVE that I am even able to rant about competing with Bama. Pete is a God but he can do better. I hope he knows it. If he doesn't than it's our job to remind him.

Problem 1) Mediocre coaches on staff. Lubick, Paopao, Bonapha, Gregory.
Problem 2) Pete's offense.
Until those problems are solved, PAC 12 titles are the ceiling. -
As I* said on Twatter, 15 miserable points, total, equaled four losses. That is not Dooging excuses, that is an outright indictment of the offense at all levels.

I'm not sure how 'close' we are
-
Weve been saying this for 3 years. Are we getting any closer? Not sure we are
-
We're getting closer. Look at this year's recruiting class.
Not saying everything will be corrected but having a mature defensive and offensive talent sure masks holes in coaching and schemes and other personnel.
Let's get to that talent point with 2-3 consecutive classes and then reassess. -

Imagine the talent level you could have without mediocre recruiters like the four mentioned above. Petersen is not serious about championship football until he starts swinging the sword more on his staff. Loyal to a fault is still a fault.animate said:We're getting closer.

We just gotta get the right OKGs in there guys. The upcoming OKGs are much better than the current OKGs. Everybody says so.

You don’t understand the damage Jim Owens did to the program.GrundleStiltzkin said:
