The media demanding answers might not matter, but the more I listen to Husky coaches the more angry I get. Let's just look into the discussions that have happened just inside this forum.
In Petersen's 1st year the offense was down right terrible. I was hammered on for being critical of that, told that it isn't Pete's fault that the QB sucks. We had two other four star QBs on the bench...but, I was told stars don't matter. The QBs suck.
In Pete's second year the offense wasn't much better. I was told that is because the QB was a Freshman. It isn't his fault. The starting QB was a highly touted recruit, as were the backups. Not his fault, the guys on the bench sucked and Browning was too young.
In Pete's third year? The offense was AMAZING. I told many in here, if this is what was happening in the first two years, to get to this, then the growing pains were worth it. Then, the guy who was brought in that year to hold the offensive coordinator's hand, Jeff Tedford, got hired away. What happens next?
The offense in Pete's fourth year regressed greatly. In the end we won games simply because Gaskin wouldn't let us lose. Period, end of story I was told it isn't their fault, John Ross was gone. Guess what? Drew Sample, Will Dissley and Daunte Pettis were on that team. Those guys are now on NFL rosters. The QB was average at best.
Year five? Even worse. If not for Gaskin we probably lose three more games. The offense continues to sputter. It's not their fault, the QB sucks. The same QB who guys gave me the "I told you so" his Sophomore year now sucks? Or did we have no idea how to develop him. We won games were Browning threw for less than 100 Yards! Browning goes to one post season camp and the coach their adds velocity to his throwing motion because in one day he realizes Jake isn't using his legs!
Now? We have a first round pick at QB, the best O Line in the Conference and some talented WRs ( don't always get on the field though) and we have failed many times because is critical third down plays we take that first round pick OF THE FIELD! He has struggled terribly against a Stanford defense that coming in was on of the worst in the NCAA in pass defense.
So, are we in year six and it is still the talent's fault? The QBs still suck? NO....maybe someone in the media hounding him would force him to hire an OC with a clue, or maybe it would just make me feel better....no clue. What I do know is this team shouldn't suck in the Red Zone and shouldn't be the worst offense in the Conference on 3rd down!
