He was DC under Belichick for the original Browns in the early 90s. Then Belichick got...FIRED. Believe it or not millenials. Then after taking the job at Michigan St, they were very ordinary from 1995-1998. I don't think they were ever better than 7-5 and we killed them in an Aloha Bowel.

In 1999, Spartans went 10-2 and beat a SEC team in a Citrus Bowl or something.

Since then, he has done things everywhere except Miami.

I don't know what my point is, except sometimes a little patience is needed.
 
Part of it is Saban maturing as a coach. Part of it is him being at a program that gives a shit.

We do not give a shit:
1) Our AD is a fat pile of shit and is allegedly a woman
2) Ticket sales stagnate and we call it a success (we also provide artificially inflated numbers)
3) We're incapable of holding coaches accountable (see: Ty, Sark, Romar, Smiff)
4) Our mascot is a raccoon with down syndrome.
5) 4-5 is "promising"

We're fucked.

That being said, I've always been willing to give Pete 3 years. Seems to be the typical benchmark for success. I hope he proves to be a solid hire, but him retaining Smiff and his gameday coaching are troubling. I greatly fear Pete will settle in at 7-9 wins every year and UW fans will complacently rejoice at our annual mediocrity. #BuiltFuckedForLife

For your sake, I hope Pumpy returns soon.
 
I don't believe the win now or else mentality most of us have is based in reality. I believe it is more of a response to the many years of excuses we've heard from doogs defending bad coaches.

We don't know what Michigan State was like during Sabans time. We know the Big 10 was a strong conference. I looked at schedule results and Saban beat a top 10 team every year but once while there. He also had some bad losses. But looking back at a mediocre record doesn't tell us what the team looked like.

The truth is Sark could have had the same record and been a really good coach. The problem is doogs think this means they can excuse all his flaws and fuck ups because we would have fired Don James and Nick Saban.

There can be room to judge a coach between the wins and losses. But at the University of Washington that room is gone.
