DeBoer seems like a more balanced modern coach. Pete too rigid. Still The hate for him here is still pretty cray tho.
All Petersen had to do was the finish the job and win any NY6. Fucking up a pretty open PAC 12 in 2019 (sorry neither Utah nor Oregon was dominant), especially given his momentum for 3 years, and then quitting, is unforgivable.

I don't know about it being unforgivable, but it is a major part of his underachieving legacy.

Petersen built the 2nd best defense UW has ever seen full of badasses, and unfortunately got Bama draw in Atlanta.
I think if UW gets Clemson in the Fiesta or Rose, UW plays for the natty.
Ill never hate Pete after that awesome 2016 season.
The other seasons had ups and big downs, but 2016 was cathartic

I think people have a negative view of Pete because many felt he needed to make a few changes to adapt to a modern college football environment (*cough* offense) but he was stubborn and refused to change.
I think that stubbornness to adapt to modern, Power 5 football is what held him, and thus us, back.
Fans here adore DeBoer since he has many of the same intangibles as Pete (he's an adult) but is willing to be a modern college football coach.

Yes if you think about it, if Don James had refused to modernize his offense in 1989, his career would have been like Pete's.
Pete did great things here. That is undeniable. But not giving a damn in the first Rose Bowl in two decades, along with his sending Azeem out to pasture because he had the gall to talk shit, which needed to be talked mind you, relegates him to a distant 4th on my list of UW coaches in my lifetime, just above Sark. (Might be jumping the gun on Deboner being 2, but I'm going with it.) And he easily could have been a solid number 2, even considering his epic shit handling of the clock at the end of Arizona game his first year.

Shows that DeBoer isn't scared like Pete
