Theory on Peterman

DerekJohnson

I don't think he enjoys coaching at all.

When the hiring was going down, a beat writer for Boise State implied that he thought Peterson was burnt out.

That was a MAJOR red flag for me. You can't fix burn out, especially if you jump from the little pond to the big one. The new challenge might mask it for a bit, but eventually it's going to come back.

Derek why do you say that?

Didn't he make a comment like this when he was first hired.

Something like he isn't sure whether he actually likes coaching.

He has plenty of money to retire comfortably. Could make a good living as a tv analyst or consultant for other teams.

I have not gotten the impression that he doesn't love coaching.

When Petersen was first hired, I remember reading an article about him and how he got into coaching. He was talked into coaching the JV team at UC Davis to pay for some of his graduated degree. He originally only planned to do it for 1, or maybe two years. He was successful and this lead to him making a name in coaching circles. Then, of course, he was a commodity and continued to coach. I recall vividly that he said all he really wanted to be was a high school counselor.

We are stuck with him. I think he still might have some mild success, maybe we peak out with a 10-3 season with a bowl win when Brownsocks is a junior or senior. It is what it is. We have fat lesbo as our President, and Woodward isn't going to feel any heat from her (unless pegging with a warm lube goes down)..... and thusly Peterman gets no heat... Sniff gets no heat... etc

Hello 5-7 this year. 7-5 next year. Then some special 8-4ish type seasons in '17 and '18 before the new Brownsocks starts the cycle over.

If all that's true that he's burnt out and heart not into it.....then it makes even more sense to hire someone to fully run the offense.

If he's burned out then hand the fucking keys to Kawasaki and GTFO

He basically admitted that he doesn't enjoy being a HC in this interview:

Q: Is coaching as much fun now as --?

Petersen: No. Not even. There's so many times where I'm like, 'How in the hell did I get myself into this situation?' I think about it all the time when I started at UC Davis. I remember wearing a Michigan sweatshirt on the field during practice.

Sounds like he doesn't bleed purple is all.

I'm sure he's not having fun coaching this team. Who would?

jecornel

I'm sure sure enjoyed 92-12?

Now he enjoys 3.5 million a year mailing it in.

Now he is what he is 12-12.

He was badly exposed yesterday for being a really shitty coach.
