I know many of us here, the elitists of the Husky community, are beginning to understand and comprehend what Petersen truly means when responding to the Seattle media. Petersen's sophisticated vocabulary, an immense improvement from Dude Brah's, and body language make it easy for us to understand when he's tired of hearing the same questions over and over (Hi Danny O'Neil) and that he has a no bullshit, no nonsense attitude about being a coach and educator.
But the one that I seem to struggle with the most, and what he's said multiple times throughout the Spring, is that we need to improve upon everything and that we aren't where we need to be at any one thing. I realize we're implementing a new system and that Sark didn't pay attention or teach the small, fine details like Petersen's crew, so there's that. But was the team under Sark really that inept? Or is Petersen's system so vastly different than Sark's that we need to build from the ground up? And if this is Petersen's attitude to Spring camp, what we he like last year or previous years at Boise? I'm really curious to see what he thought of Boise last year, especially since we destroyed them at Husky Stadium to start the year. I haven't looked at those details, but I might venture over to BSU to see what they think about Petersen's language.
So my question for the bored, what do you think Petersen means by we need to improve upon everything? Do you think this is just coach speak and that he wants the them to keep working hard and not get lazy over the summer? Is he the kinda guy who demands excellence and isn't happy with the team even if they're an improvement upon last year's 9-4 squad? Do you think Petersen has already identified the weaknesses in this team and realizes we need to step it up to avoid the disasters like Oregon and ASU and UCLA (last year, too many disasters to name under Sark)? Or is it something entirely different?

TL;DR version: What do you think Petersen means by we need to improve upon everything and that we aren't where we need to be at any one thing at the end of Spring camp?
