Pete is one of the safest bets in CFB and a really great person. Obviously keeping him around should be a priority, and a good move. But Ten years to anyone is a risk, no matter their level of performance at the time the contract is signed. That said probably a good move as it's hard to find a way to imagine him underachieving.
So you mean there are no sure things and that financial decisions involve inherent risk?!?!?!?!!!????!???111???
Well no shit. The point is they are taking way more risk than supposedly necessary to keep him here. If everything everyone has said is true about Washington being his dream job, and his desire to stay in the PNW etc... seems like a rolling 5 might get it done as well as a 10 and not leave UW vulnerable to some sort of crap out in his career? I know that's unlikely though.

he got a 2 year extension last year. this would bring it to 2030. that's too fucking long. and i've been dooging for Pete for 2 years.
Depends on what buyout they build into the contract. You could have a contract through 2050 for all I care if it has a clause that says that UW can buy out the contract at any time for $10 mil.

If he's worth it now he's worth it Sunday. If he's not worth it Sunday with a loss, he's not worth it now.
I think he's worth it.

He gone
UW is trying to be proactive. We can't lose a coach that is 9-0 after being so fucking bad for so long.
