Smiff on a hot seat?

This might be the first time in NCAA history that not having a long term contract @ OC will improve recruiting.
 
Good, but not good enough. There is no reasonable business justification for him to still be employed. He is a poor recruiter, doesn't develop players, is a spectacularly terrible in game coach, and was thoroughly unqualified for the job to begin with. His retention is a glaring, borderline unforgivable black mark on Petersen, who has made countless strides on other fronts.

FTG.
 
Between firing Pease and this, I have faith that Petersen can make the tough decisions.

I still think that he should have fired Smiff after last season, but I could also see how Petersen gave him a slight benefit of the doubt and one more 'prove it' year.
 
I think the horrible play of the WRs, combined with having a true frosh QB saved Smith's job. Pete is essentially saying "now that Pease is gone, you have no more excuses."

Ya.

Nothing says making tough decisions like the passive aggressive decision to not extend the contract of an under-performing turd bucket

No way.

Go watch the "hurry up" offense against Oregon. View the Cal playcalling. Watch the last 2/3 of the game vs Arizona State.

Get that doog shit out of here. He should have been canned immediately after the season.
 
Smith gets too much heat imo because it's Petersen's offense. He still sucks though and I get mad every time I look at that mortician fuck. There isn't one redeeming quality about him.

Especially since Petersen is an offensive coach.

We mocked Sark for ignoring the defense and special teams.

But Pete is an offensive coach. As CEO, he should be able to most effectively step in and fix that side of the ball better than any other aspect of the team.
 
@Gladstone @RoadDawg55: I wish JS were gone as well, but I think @HuskyClaws and @bananasnblondes are right. In Peterson's eyes, this is probably JS's no more excuses year. I predict his play calling will again be shitty and fail to exploit his players' skills. But the improved play from the O-Line and skill players on offense will mask JS's failings just enough to make retaining him a close-call for Peterson, even though it shouldn't be. People will focus on yards, points and averages, which hide shit plays like 1 yard bubble screens, 2 yard dives, and dropped passes that count against QB stats more than the shit receivers or bad play calls. Smith will reap the benefits of what the O does next fall, instead of being judged by all the lost opportunities he'll leave all over the field, all season long.
