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

Word on the street is Cohen was the primary influencer... Woodward doesn't seem to think so.
Texas Longhorns A&M athletic director Scott Woodward is not surprised. Thirty-four months ago, Woodward hired Petersen while in the same position at Washington. The 53-year-old Woodward can now claim partial credit for two top 10 programs this week. The Aggies are off to their own 6-0 start, the program's best in 22 years.
When Petersen arrived in 2014, Washington had loads of tradition, most of it dated. James won a national championship in 1991, got the Huskies to six Rose Bowls and won 212 games from 1975-92.
Since then, the job had been revolving door from Jim Lambright to Steve Sarkisian. When Petersen showed interest after Sark left for Southern California Trojans , Woodward jumped.
"We had a two-hour meeting and we were done," Woodward recalled. "We had to make sure we were comfortable with each other face to face. It was love at first sight."

I don't think Don James won 212 games in 17 years

"Peterson showed interest..." that's all you need to read. Again, Woody and Jenny from the block can try to take all the credit in the world, but Peterson hired us? not the other way around.

Proof that Peterman is the only person to whom Jen has ever showed her tits

I heard from a good source that Petersen (or his agent) approached Washington as soon as Santa Haden hired away the drunk.
Woodward's response was "great! How much do you want?"
