That’s the best part about this article I didn’t read.
Washington has won the Pac-12 one year in a row lost to ASU and was gangraped by Stanford.
Washington Husky football is not what Oregon is striving to become.
Just a few years ago 8-2 was a nightmare scenario for Oregon. Now it’s the pinnacle of the Pac-12 I guess?
Oh, ok...
If losing by 8 is getting "gangraped" ,then what is 70-21?
Glad you’re satisfied with the Stanford performance in year 4 of White Bellotti. You guys were totally in that one.
The fuck is this White Bellotti crap? That's just dumb. Bellotti didn't win the Pac until year 7. Pete did it in year 3. Bellotti won the Pac once in 14 tries. You think it Peterman coaches at UW that long he's going to go 1 for 14?
So it took him three years? Sounds like Willie should have won it in his first year with this deep roster full of Chip Kelly players.
Peterson recruits like White Bellotti. Seems like he’s app to lose what should be run of the mill games that should be business taken care of and ruin promising seasons. Just seeing some comparisons.
EVERY coach (even good to great ones) loses run of the mill games. PC lost to Beaves and Stanford. Dabo Swinney lost to Syracuse this year and Pitt last year. In year 2 of Dabo's tenure tenure he lost to 2 unranked opponents. In year 3 he lost to 4 unranked opponents. In year 4 he lost to 2 unranked opponent. Shit fucking happens and college football coaches are stubborn headed fucks sometimes.
So your saying Sweeney just needed more time?
Anyway, ‘tis not me trying to predict the future. peterson might pull a generational QB (next year) but he also might not. He hasn’t come in and changed the league like Carroll, Kelly or even Harbough did.
This all started with Canzano saying Oregon must match the great Washington huskies program.
Oh the one in third place right now?
Oh, ok.
In terms of comparison Pete to the 3 above coaches, there's a lot of apples to oranges going on an in his own way, his impact on the league has been pretty fucking significant. He won the PAC in year 3 and went to the playoffs. That is a YUGE change in trajectory for a program that hadn't done shit in a decade before he arrived and had basically gone the way or Syracuse and Minnesota (i.e., formerly great programs that are dead forever). There's still a very realistic shot to go 10-2 with a mediocre to shitty QB. That's still progress, ugly and wart covered or not. He also broke the stranglehold the USC, Stanford and Oregon have had on the league for 15 years now.
Carroll - His achievement was being the only coach at USC since the 1970's to get the talent to live up to its potential and win NT's. Great coach but not comparable to what Petersen came into with Washington. He also lost some run of the mill games.
Harbough - His turnaround at Stanford was phenomenal, but the pop didn't happen until year 4 and he did have a once in a generation type of college QB. Put a guy like Luck on this year's Husky team and it's undefeated and headed towards the CFP.
Chip - Totally changed the game and took Oregon to the next level. But again, the situation he came into at Oregon is not the same as Pete at UW.
