Not wanting to hire someone because they might leave us one day is one of the 7 pillars of dooglam.
Petersen's time at Boise proves he's a good coach with a high possibility of being great. Harbaugh's already proven he's a great coach. This isn't even debatable.
I'd take Harbaugh faster than he can take off his shirt.
I said the other day that I think Urban Meyer will push Harvbaugh's shit in annually. I think that highly or Urban Meyer. He's won titles at two programs and I'm not certain his Utah team could have won a title with Alex Smith.Urban is on another level and is starting way ahead of Harvbaugh.
That said, this is an easy decision. UW has been a pussy, piece of shit program for a long time and Harbaugh would be the perfect antidote.
Being a big time NFL coach that has coached in a Super Bowl has a lot more meaning to recruits than Peterman coaching at dinky Boise State. I also prefer winning at almost any cost over OKG.
Petersen may end up being great, but I think Harbaugh is the safer bet. At worst Harvbaugh leaves and/or gets fired for doing something crazy, but leaves great talent. Worse case scenario for Peterman is Dan Hawkins part 2.
I hear you and my hope is that Strausser's preference for bigger OL (vs what Tuff Guy Coz liked) will bring more smash. Same with multiple TEs since UW has Perkins, Daniels, and Ajamu to use.
Harbaugh brings the energy, sizzle, and name to a program now but Petersen is a better fit culturally and in terms of staying power. The last time UW had a coach longer than 6 seasons was Don James and I could see Harbaugh jumping ship to the NFL after 3 or 4 seasons while I see Petersen retiring from UW in 10-15 years.
Harbaugh is football the right way. Smash mouth, fuck 'em.
I love him deeply.
Pete is in the same tier though.
Harbaugh is idolized in Ann Arbor. Why on earth would he want to go back to the NFL where he got run out of town after making the NFC Championship 3 times in 4 years?
It is obvious he is having the time of his life right now. Look at the pictures of him competing shirtless at that satellite camp. You think this guy is itching to leave that?
Harbaugh is the next Saban.
Yeah who wouldn't want to put on a faggy goof ball show in rural Alabama to woo high school kids after being in the super bowl 3 years ago. Sounds like a dream come true, quite honestly.

DNC's post before this had me on the fence, but this pushed me over. I change my mind. You guys are right. I will drink myself half to death tonight for my penance.

I don't think harbaugh would need as long to turn UW into a powerhouse. Petersen's way is methodical and we're gonna see this year that his method doesn't yield immediately stellar results.
At this exact moment of time, gun to my head, truth serum flowing through the veins, Harbaugh. Obviously he's proven himself. All things and coaching abilities being equal though (and I believe their abilities are close), Petersen. So ask in a year or two.
