What I'm hearing

HuskyJW

Portland Radio is saying they "are hearing" CP has already been presented with the alleged $10 million offer to coach UO.

Personally I think the whole idea is a load of b.s. but who knows.

Guess someone forgot to tell Portland Radio that Petersen HAS A CONTRACT!

Big if true.

Be at Oregon, nothing else matters

If this ever did happen do we even have any big time donors anymore to try to match? I'll chip in 10 bucks to keep him.

I'm sure Pete is very impressed with all this considering his very good friend is still the coach at Oregon and this is being done behind his back.

This has been my biggest worry since Helf went on the hot seat.


No matter how happy Peterman is tripling his salary has to speak to him.

OTOH, maybe he really is who we hope/think he is.

Assuming it's true (or will be) it would be naive to think Pete wouldn't consider it. I think he considers it but I doubt he takes it. A few reasons why:

A. Pete doesn't seem like someone who enjoys change. While some enjoy the excitement and drags if a new locale, new job and meeting new people, Pete seems like someone who hates all those things. I think it's why he stayed at Boise so long despite getting much bigger offers.

2. Helfrich. Pete seems loyal to a fault. He wouldn't want to hurt his fren.

3. Oregon might have a higher ceiling than UW as a program now thanks to facilities, money and national profile, but the ceiling isn't much higher if any and the short term prognosis for UW is significantly better. Oregon has a QB but a terrible defense, and while they might have more TBS certified "talent" who knows how much of they is PKG talent, or still has enough time to be developed properly/broken of bad habits.

4. Pete seems like somebody who wants to do it his way no matter what, which he can do at UW with a weak AD and no notable super boosters. At Oregon he'd have to deal with Uncle Phil and the shadow of Kelly.

I'll be a little nervous as long as that job looms open simply because of the dollar figures, but in the end I'm pretty sure coach stays.

tl; dr: IT'S OVER FOR PETERSEN!

I think this is probably the reason to feel safest.

Would you rather he chipped in $20 Svenbucks?

and he'd have to fuck his friend, Helfrick. . . . . .And, yes I know, he is out the door regardless of who replaces him. But, Pete (I think/hope) is a loyal guy.
