Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Would you trade Petersen for Harbaugh?

    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.

    For the entertainment value alone. Plus, he'd go out of his way to piss off the Cuogs and Ducks. And eventually beat Oregon more than once every 11 years.

    And the 12s. Which would be awesome.

    I'll take both.... ABUNDANCE!

    I love Comrade Petersen, so it is hard for me to say this, but I would probably trade him for Harbaugh (assuming Harbaugh stays as long as I think Petersen would, which is a long time).

    I can see both sides of the argument, I actually think Petersen will prove in year 3 that he can turn around a program but I KNOW Harbaugh can do that right now.

    Either way, both are one of the very few elite coaches out there.

    Now I changed my mind, I like Petersen a lot and I don't have to worry about him getting fired for beating a player and causing mass lawsuits.

    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.

    I think Jimmy will go back to NFL in the next 5 years. I think CP stays here for 10+ if he's winning and doesn't get run.

    Also, as a niner fan, I couldn't stomach anymore of that douche running a football team I love.
