The offense coordinator, Chris Petersen knows, is often an easy target for backlash. And that has certainly been the case this week for Bush Hamdan, Washington’s offensive coordinator who is in his first season as a play-caller at the FBS level.
In the postmortem on the Huskies’ 12-10 loss at California last Saturday, Petersen has fielded questions this week about Hamdan’s play-calling (not really the problem), about the head coach possibly taking over play-calling duties (not happening), and about the Huskies’ worst offense in a decade (not good enough, obviously).
