Who is Chris Landon?

They deleted and my comment and gave me a warning for using "doogs." Apparently its a divisive term according to them.

The Army of Doogs banned my Rick Johnson account for saying that word. Doogs really are sensitive about the truth.

Next time I won't be so nice I'll just refer to them as dumb cunts.

lol...Rick Johnson..I remember that..

Not going to waste anymore time at that site. It's just an article to get hits. You think the propaganda is bad w/ that article you should have seen those fucking doogs after the ASU game.

Similarly, Petersen's tendency towards muted and cliched interactions with the media have served to slightly dampen fan enthusiasm relative to what may have been possible given the initial buzz that accompanied his arrival on campus.

Petersen doesn't give kick ass pressers? Boo fucking hoo

The comment section in that "article" is hilarious. Even a lot of the doogs on that site are calling out the bullshit. The only people supporting Chris "Gekko Mojo" Landon are the other writers on the blog. And even some of them can't get behind it. However, they remain united in their unwavering support of Sark.

When are Doogs going to realize a coach's personality is of very little to no importance? In all the interviews I've seen, Petersen is pretty nice and pleasant to the media anyways. He's not the prickly guy many have tried to portray him as.

Your problem is, you're letting logic and evidence get in the way. Doogs have no such issues.

So I finally got around to reading Landon's shitty column. Of course, I agree it's a thinly veiled jeremiad about lack of "media" access. But one paragraph in particular caught my eye:

I wouldn't argue that Petersen has mishandled the actual disciplining of players in any of these matters. In fact, that would be hard to do given that we don't really have full visibility to all of facts surrounding the individual incidents nor the full terms of recompense that Petersen has levied on the offenders. It is the opaqueness of these matters that constitute the greatest misstep so far in the Petersen era. Pac 12 football fans expect a certain level of transparency in how coaches manage discipline for their favorite teams. Mike Leach is famous for his "three unforgivable sins" philosophy. Sonny Dykes hasn't done everything right at Cal, but he has applied discipline in a consistent manner that has satisfied a very demanding Golden Bears fanbase. Even Steve Sarkisian applied standards during his time at UW that gave fans a sense that offenders like Kasen Williams and Austin Seferian-Jenkins were on specific programs to regain full-rights status as players on the team. It is the coaches who have been the least transparent about their methods, guys like Chip Kelly and Jeff Tedford, who have garnered the most criticism over the last few years regardless of how effective or non-effective the actual discipline really was for their teams.

This is a breathtaking display of stupidity. Landon's literally arguing that Petersen should act more like three chronic underperformers (Leach lifetime P12 record 5-13, Dykes 0-9, and Sarkisian 24-21), and less like Kelly and Tedford (each indisputably the greatest coach in the history of his program).

By all means, Coach Petersen, run the program however you see fit. Your predecessors have been cowing to the access demands of the internet "media" for close to 20 years. And look what it's bought them. I have no idea who this Landon is. But if people like Ruth and Softy and Kim are unhappy, it probably means you're doing something right.

no offense because I awesomed your poast but as of 2014 if anyone needs a primer to know that Grenolds, Ektard, Fatters, Ruth & Cook, JohnB, the UWDoogPound, Softy or Hugh are always 180 degrees from right with their pathetic agenda then you need matches and a quick trip to Chevron.
