This ones going to be hard for some of you to answer


If we lay a turd and then run the table Paul Finebaum will be spewing SEC ejaculate on every sound bite he can infect.

That’s likely worse case scenario, I’d honestly rather have another 2017 than 12-1 and miss the playoffs because the pac-12 is so weak.

So TSIO if we start 0-1, are you knew hear?

On the contrary, I’m well versed in HCH think.

That’s the whole point of the thread. When will you be championship ready? If not now when? How long will you let this go on?

Are you WASHINGTON or Okalahoma State?

I’m more of a Pete fan than 99% of huskies. That being said, they’ll never be championship ready until he gets his head bashed in by Bama/uga/Clemson a couple more times and realizes he needs to change his recruiting strategy.

Okgs are good enough to win the pac (because the conference sucks). They’re not good enough to compete with the top 2-3 teams in the country.

Edit: Meant to quote Mike and fucked it up, not going to bother to fix it.

I have no doubt that this boared will be full of hot takes if Petermen goes another season with 10 wins that ends on a flat note. The reality though is that the rest of the fanbase and uppercampus won't get rid of him unless the wheels really come off. So what are you really asking? What HH's collective expectations are or should be? What our? responses to different scenarios should be? Gnashing of teeth, excuse making, calling for heads, etc.? There are plenty of threds where it's been discussed. The general consensus seems to be at the very least winning a NY6 bowel to pacify real questions about the programs direction.

The general consensus is also that we are a tier 2 program that can challenge for a NT given a good to great coach and a good to great QB. We currently lack the latter and barring some extremely lucky breaks won't be getting that done this year. Looking at QB depth though 2019 and beyond could be special. We did however luck into a coach that is good to great that considers UW his final destination job which can happen given our advantages and quite honestly, the lowered scrutiny & demand from uppercampus and the local media so long as the program is "clean" and "doing it right".

All that said, fuck off and drink bleach.

Thanks for your thoughtful response. Seems to be difficult to get around here bar a few of you. I do appreciate the self deprecating “insert year will be special.” That does seem to be the underling thought from most of you even if you don’t come right out and say it.

Lots of “in the future” comments or “some day we will get there”

One note I’ll take exception to is the idea that Pederson is a great coach. Do great coaches lose their bowl games every year? Lose to ASU, every year?

Already quoted me as saying Petermen is "Good to great". DNC gave plenty of reasons for at the very least "good". He hasn't earned "great" at UW yet. All indications are that he's on track to do so though.

Loses all his bowl games, not any impressive OOC wins and loses to ASU every year, most would say unexpectedly.

Sounds like Mike Bellotti, a little bit. Ha ha.

Bellotti was a GREAT coach. Axe Mosster.

Mike was a Miami loss to Nebraska away from winning a national title in a golf cart and new letterman’s jacket.

That was once in 15 years. I’m told that’s good enough to coach WASHINGTON.

Miami would have run Oregon off the field.

STOp.

I think his hypo was that NU somehow beats the Fighting Butch Davises and Oregon beats CU as happened. Then the pundits would have split the title for that year most likely
Click to expand...

This is correct. Same way UW won theirs.
Click to expand...

UW didn't need some other team to lose so we could backdoor into our natty.

Not the same.

This is like UW needing BYU to looser in 1984, other than the fact Michigan was actually competitive in that one unlike Nebraska.

What natty?
 
Oregon fans would give their left nuts to have Petersen as Ducks coach. And so would the women.

Keep telling yourself that. The premiere program of the PAC 12 doesn't have time to waste on good regional coaches who can win games but not the important ones. We already have an ace recruiter in Cristobal. He so good he could flip families of lifelong doogs into flaming quooks literally overnight after selling their sons on Oregon. These kids grew up under the shadow of the duck empire's wingspan and get that UW should be viewed as a placeholder program for when Oregon and Stanford are down. That, and the fact that he's so stubborn he would start Jake Browning for another 4 years if he could.

I swear to god and on my twins lives that if Oregon tried to get Peterson tomorrow I would be disappointed and underwhelmed. Already know what he is. Can’t believe some of you think he’s special.

He’s honestly about 1 win better a year than Bellotti. Tops.

Bellotti won a ten team conference 1.3 times in 14 years.

Petersen has won a 12 team conference once in 4 years.

Bellotti finished in the top 5 of the rankings once in 14 years.

Petersen has finished in the top 5 of the rankings once in 4 years.

So far Petersen has failed to surpass Bellotti's accomplishments. There's no reason to think he ever will.

Sorry, forgot to say that I said he’s 1 game better than Bellotti, tops.

If Bellotti wins one more game a season here and there he would have won the conf a couple more times.

Mike lost a ton of bowl games too. Especially to good teams.

That is not me backing Mediocre Mike, and it’s not me saying he should have won a couple more... that’s me duck splaing to you who Peterson is.

John Robinson Round Two and Paul Hackett say hi.

Or to put them on equal terms, in Bellotti's first four years at Oregon USC won the conference (actually tied for it) once. They finished ranked once (12th). Bellotti won the conference zero out of four times.

In Pete's first four years at Washington USC won the conference once (outright). They finished ranked three times (20th, 3rd, 12th). Pete won the conference one out of four times.

Clearly a down USC is the source of Pete's comparative strength.

Bellotti wins again!

Make's fun of doogs for comparing Cristoball to Sark

Equates Petermen to Bellotti.
 
The more I dig into it the more I see NevadaSeaver's poont.

First four years Bellotti was 17-15 in conference. Pete is 23-13.

One win a year better at tops!

And remember, poor Mike only inherited a conference champion while lucky Pete inherited a sixth place team.
 
Here's an ever harder question for Duck fans to answer:

If winning a national championship was so much easier before the BCS and CFB Playoff era, how come Oregon didn't win any?

Oregon sucked at football for 100 years. The vast majority of that was before any of us were born so who gives a fuck? Pretty sure that’s been established. What’s that got to do with Peterson winning anything now?

You ask a great question though, had anyone on this board ever made that claim about any of it being easy. We all know “it’s hard”

That said, you have to win two games against top 4 teams to win it now instead of waiting for the assistant athletic directors and USA Today columnists to vote based on highlights from ESPN or reading the newspaper game write ups in 1958.

You’re getting pretty far off track now. Try sticking to the subject.

You’re right. Bellotti actually won a BCS game at Oregon. Even though those don’t count anymore or something?

Losing bigger games in 2018 > winning them in the past.

Love watching you all screw yourselves into the ground with all of the twisting. Spending 15 years saying one thing then having to change your entire foundation in 2 is quite a tasty treat.

3 years tells you who you are
Win or GTFO
Seamen covered monitors when Oregon lost to standford every other year or twice in the final.

Now you wouldn’t trade losing to Alabama for a Rose Bowl victory over Ped State (which you could have corrected the next year but didn’t)

Wonderful stuff.
