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

Would you trade Petersen for Harbaugh?

    Why do you give me this question...?

    Seriously I hate it....

    but until proven otherwise I'd have to take a sure thing. He's a total fuckstick and a douche.... but he's a winner.

    The entire last line including being a douche is why I'd say yes if I cared to vote in the pole.
    but you're above poles?

    I would take him, but he'd never come here. WTF would he?

    But the scenario has Harbaugh at UW, not Michigan. He didn't go to U-Dub, isn't idolized in Seattle, and would either go back to the NFL (or jump to Michigan).

    In contrast, I think Petersen will retire from U-Dub and fits the program's culture well.

    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.

    Not trying to be #mapsuperiorityguy, but the Pacific Ocean is closer to Husky Stadium than Lake Michigan is to Ann Arbor. And I'm thinking the the Pacific Ocean is a lot fucking bigger.
    We aren't University of the Pacific, we are the University of Washington, so I think the relevance of the two bodies of water that share their names with their respective state schools, carries more weight. But why are we even on this tangent? He would never come to UW.

    Weak effort. You're the dumbshit that brought up Lake Michigan.

    I still think the rainbow crosswalks could have been a huge draw had the Seattle government got with the program a bit sooner.
