Petersen croots

I agree; he is boring. But I grew up watching the Don James show. Peterman is like a stripper by comparison.

I get it.
After 5 million in the bank, why the fuck would anyone want to work 18 hours days?
Give me 5 million and I'll never work again. Hell, maybe even 3.

Humans are built with a need for purpose in life.
Sorry I'll take it to the Christian board

A W2 or K1 rarely gives someone real purpose.
I'd be out in the woods with the WTA repairing trails when I felt the need for purpose. Smoking weed, talking shit.

Agreed but coaching ball IS these guys life. Most athletes and coaches have lived for their game since they were 11 and dont know anything else. Pete didn't like the stress and what the job was becoming so he fired himself and needed to do something that can scratch the itch in between whatever seminars he does at UW or whatever

I get that. If you love your job and it is actually your passion, great for you.
Peterlips thought the juice wasn't worth the squeeze and I can relate to that to some extent. If he didn't like it, then retire if you have the money.
And his retirement gig is getting paid millions by Fox.

Pete read the tea leaves and made his exit at the perfect time. He was smart enough to recognize he wasn’t truly happy with his job anymore after 30 plus years. Taking that home every night became more a burden each and ever day. He sucked up to cashing the bag at UW hopeful it would rejuvenate him but it didn’t and he held on as long as he could. I have the upmost respect for the young man!

I remember when this place was optimistically dooging about Jimmy Lake.
Covid weirdness allowed the dooging to continue until Montana
Petersen making Lake the heir instead of Kwat was a big mistake. I think Kwat might still be coaching here if he made a good OC hire. It doesn't seem like he wants to be a HC though.

The Lake dooging left pretty quick I think. First drop was hiring Donovan. Then Kwit leaving and being replaced with fucking Bob Gregory and recruiting was as bad as it has maybe ever been in program history by the time we got to Montana.
The AD should have known to not let Petersen pick his successor and recognize the program wasn't in a place where you could hand it over to a caretaker type. It wasn't where Stanford was when it went from Harbaugh to Shaw or Oregon when Chipper to Helfrich happened. They had just went 8-5 and lost to Colorado and other crap teams.
The irony is it's likely 2022-23 aren't as good as they were if we don't promote Lake and keep the entire 2020 class.
