I remember Washington fans blaming a lot of the struggles on Jonathan Smith (even though the numbers you posted seem okay) but now it seems to all be directed at Browning.

To be fair last year and in every game so far this year Browning has tried to play hero ball and it really has not worked but at the same time our OL is the worst unit on the team by a wide margin (hmm that sounds familiar...). That said, the pick against Utah was loving inexcusable and Exhibit A for why we blame Browning.

Taggart's teams almost always have a year or year and half rebuild at the start and then take off. He inherited a line that was already awful and then lost a few guys too injury on top of it. It's also a new system that's asking the QB to make different types of decisions than he had to under Jimbo. They're really bad this year but I don't think that means he was a bad hire or is doomed

I think he's good generally but there's always one of two decisions a game that are just completely baffling

To be fair these are not your normal three sub-par games with a new coach. These are three godawfully abysmal games.

But yeah it's not like he shouldn't get a chance to build the program for at least a little while so all anyone is doing now is getting in early so they can say I told you so if he does flame out.

Lou Holtz went 0-11 in his first year in South Carolina. Obviously a good head coach can stink it up in year one. That being said, if Taggart wants to go 2-10 for the next few years I won't stand in the way.

I mean, maybe more like next week. At least we'll know more after Georgia, that's the first defense that's not completely poo poo they'll have played.

If Georgia shuts them down it could just be because they're really good (although Missouri likes to think they shouldn't be shut down by anyone this year), so I guess we'll know even more after SCar in October.

e: Oh I should point out because it's Derek Dooley that yeah, I agree he's been fine so far. The offense hasn't totally devolved into something that doesn't work at all against anyone, which I did consider an actual possibility.

I say next year because he'll be without Lock. I always figured the offense would be fine this year regardless of who they hired, just because they were bringing back so much.

Okay? It's just weird to say he almost always had a year of rebuild before taking off when he's only been at two schools for more than a year. It probably won't take 25 years to figure out but I'd at least wait to see how this FSU gig goes.

And lol if I'm being called a stat goon, I can barely use Excel

I'm just saying there are reasons to be optimistic long term even with a bad start. I didn't say he was a lock to win the 2022 national title or something

Yeah it's kind of fair to call out Browning for making at least 1 inexcusably bad decision per game, but overall he's still a really good college quarterback and I'm happy to have him.

But whenever the Huskies lose, the fans I'm around all seem to put the blame squarely on him.

How many years does Browning have left? Eason is taking his redshirt year this year, but after that, is it his job to win?

Yeah. I'm a little worried about the lack of highly-ranked talent coming into UW at a lot of positions, but the team has a nice stockpile of potentially great QBs.

OTOH the DL always seems to over perform relative to the ranking of the recruits so who knows.

At least you aren't Cal.

In other news, with Cal being 3-0 and BYU beating Wisconsin I am now doing the thing I do every year at this time, i.e., getting excited about Cal football even though I know better. We have ascended to the lofty rank of an "other receiving votes" in the poll. I should be happy, because it will not get better than this.
