He's a really good coach, but it's stupid. Saban and Meyer aren't lauded for their big game mastery, they are just considered great coaches. It's some bullshit perpetuated by the fact Petersen coached at Boise State and won some big games. Urban Meyer did that and would have continued to that if he stayed at Utah. It's not really any different.
UW is a possible new power program. We blew out the other team in 10 of 13 games. Plungered them. Alabama is Goliath but we aren't fucking David.
If we win, it's not because Petersen recruited and developed the players into a top flight unit. Maybe by an off chance we win on some trick play or a fake punt or FG, but the reason we will be in the game is because we played a sound game. The media sucks with their bullshit stories they create.
As always I think back to my youthful ward, Bobby Bowden, who said that as far as he could tell it was a big game if they lost it. Said that they had to win a boatload of little games though to get there.
That was when he was searching for a National Championship and Miami was in his way
I can still see the steam rise off that turd in Arizona
He wanted that season over. That was not only my least favorite Husky team of all time but I'm pretty sure that Pete would say that was his least favorite team. EVER. Lots of talent and expectations but the stink of Sark all over every facet of that crews mindset and prep. The band-aid was pulled off that year and the healing began in 2015. I get a gagging feeling just thinking about 2014. Try again. Then LEAVE!!!!!
This is when you know you have the rest of the conference jealous: an ex Eugene-Emerald sports journalist and UO Alum told me (after me politely saying that I was glad UW had one of the top 5 coaches in the country), that Petersen hasn't proven shit, just did this one year.
Yet these fucking losers will cling to REAL incremental progress for the next 5 years.

He develops players, and consistently wins.
About the only coaches I would trade him for would be Saban or Meyer.
They're accepting new members.
