Husky Jacks open thread [2025]

I think the Haener/Eason thing might have been a final tipping point yeah. Did TSIO also always say Petersen hated Browning by the end of things and that was another drop in the bucket. Could make an expansive list of stuff. I think Gaskin (and some of the other seniors) kind of willed them to that 2018 championship because I think Pattersman was also burnt out by the way the conference set them up against Oregon that year, the OKG is racist BS, Gee Scott Jr. saga, having to suck up to guys he probably knew sucked like Smalls, and the impending uphill battle with JT and Egbuka. I think it was around then they had done a good job of getting on Egbuka early and then the game Petersen came to watch him he wore Ohio State gloves.
 
Don’t forget what got the ball rolling…

When Petersen says he was "slipping" that's what I think of.
Not telling the boosters or whoever that Eason can't read a single fuckin thing and that he straight up lost the job and that you can't set that example for your players and staff.

Starting Haener would have been a massive ballsy move. If he came out and struggled at all the horde (me included) would have wanted to kill Peterman. I wonder if he hoped Eason was a gamer and would turn it on once the games started. Then he didn't.

Eason started out like gangbusters in 2019 and, in retrospect, doesn’t seem like the problem. He had shit receivers and superstar Puka languishing on the bench.

Bizarro Cal game red-pilled that season and teams realized they could pick on Kyler Manu. Late stage Petersen was a tough hang. Dude showed up from Boise burnt out and kicked the can down the road for a few years until…well🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

If I remember correctly Eason was kind of a thud against Cal and his immobility was already clearly a problem. I get that his WRs weren't great but felt like the love affair was already over by then then he tore it up against crappy teams.

his wr's sucked that game and dropped a td plus multiple first downs vs cal. After the game they complained that he threw it too hard. Eason was fine with time. Bad if moved off his spot. His oline could not pick up a blitz. The one game I blame Eason the most was the Utah game. That was terrible.

Haener struggled in camp with turnovers and thus did not win the job. If you think you were gonna get the Fresno version of Haener in 2019 I think you're crazy. He would have been terrible. He was fixed by DeBoer.
 
Pretty much this. Eason probably stunk in camp but Haener in a Pete offense would have sucked balls. Any offense that keeps Puka fucking Nacua on the bench for two whole seasons or whatever is a piece of shit.
Pete got caught making choices between shitty options in a program with no juice and 2016 in his back pocket already. Checked out.
 
I thought Puka was just always hurt then went MAGA and left? I don't necessarily think Haener would have been great but think better than Eason and feel like he was a little bit more mobile. We got really fucked by Pease not recruiting WRs until Pratterman had to send him down the green mile. We had no third option in 2016 and then mostly JAGs 2017-19 until younger guys stepped up.

puka was starting to become the guy and got hurt in 19. I don't think he redshirted. Then played in 20 and transferred home. He was good at byu but always was getting hurt there as well. His body will give out at some point but he is an animal.

I wish I could still find it but there was a glorious shit fest on X between two non-UW, NFL fans about how our offense was basically just simple high school concepts but when you have a god tier QB and receivers and a real OL you can just dial up whatever you want basically.
Might have been a Seahawks hater talking about the Grubb hire last year.
