Revisiting doogman idiocy
"I'm really starting to hate Chris Petersen. He should go coach at a church school where they care about their players being choirboys and not about winning."
This was the opinion of one moron over there after Marcus Peters was dismissed but similar sentiments were splattered all over that website by people who have never been in a locker room before. Well, according to draft reports today (on mobile, too lazy to link), Peters was given a second chance by Petersen after he TRIED TO STRANGLE A COACH. He was later dismissed from the team for TRYING TO STRANGLE A COACH AGAIN. Apparently "Sheriff Pete" doesn't believe in 3rd chances.

Thanks Petersen!
Just what I'm hearing, don't twist.
I kind of wonder what the fuck Peterman is thinking ...
I also wonder what the fuck the kid was getting away with under Ocho Sarko
I think Peters probably had a pretty big influence in the locker room and it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of the players were sick of his act. He gets the boot and since that time it seems like the team has played at a higher level and with more unity. Petersen has even mentioned that he felt like the team has started to get it in practice and pre-game the last few weeks.
I was all for booting Peters since he was out of control, but we would have plungered them with Peters too.
I think it is fair though to point out the relief that getting rid of a locker room cancer can have on a team. I think it might have been easier for some players to buy-in to the coaches once he was out of the room because the "cool" guy that is being a rebel isn't there anymore to give you shit for liking the coaches. My guess is Peters loafed in all aspects of the team (practice, film, school, etc.) and was probably even in the ears of those players that are trying hard telling them how much of a crock of shit the new coaches are.
A talented, boisterous kid from Oakland, lured to the northwest by a past regime, and assured millions in months is not going to give a fuck about the team/program and its best long term interests.
