To me, Petersen's legacy will always be shitty timing. He stayed at Boise for way too long. The dude needed to get to UW or UO by 2009.

I think Pete at UW in 2009 has a decent shot (call it 30 to 40%) at a Natty.

Did Darrell Royal go in as a Husky or a Longhorn?

Will Sark go in as a Trojan, Husky, or Longhorn?

Would it be weird to have two former Husky coaches in the HOF as Longhorns?

or Sark and Gilby

Tell that to Jim Lake.

Yes we Washington fans don’t give a rats ass about Boise wins but his legend was cemented there, zero argument. His time at UW basically proved he could build a program and compete at the highest level with a step up in competition.

I still don’t fully get many fans that shit on Peterman. He left Boise because he was burnt out and was hoping to rejuvenate his love of coaching. UW initially did what he had hoped but the burnout returned and he saw the landscape of the college sports changing at rapid speed. He resigned like many Americans do everyday. It truly sucks we weren’t totally competitive in the Fiesta and Rose Bowl but he laid the foundation and recruited and evaluated a solid portion of the upperclassmen natty run dawgs. Those guys soldiered through the Fraud Lake era and we were fortunate to hire Alex DeBoer’s dad.

UW was in the wilderness for a couple decades and Petersen was the catalyst to reviving our dawgs so stop bitching and appreciate the man. This isn’t directed at you individually Haie but the Coach Pete disrespect by a few is beyond old. He hasn’t returned to coaching so he was absolutely being genuine. He no longer felt capable of giving 100% and chose himself and his family like most everyone here. He also chose not to collect a multimillion paycheck while mailing in the final years of his contract. Sincerely Mrs Peterman;)

Doog legend Dick Newton was the master of appearing to run furiously without actually going anywhere, breaking or avoiding any tackles.

I remember Goldson playing a lot he was just on shitty forgettable teams I think.

Joey Thomas was a double play because I think Neu used him to help sign Paul Arnold, ran him off, he ended up being good, and then he used to be a key figure in local high school football and he had a vendetta against UW and shit on them to local recruits.
