Deryuter good, but Petersen bad?

Auburndawg

WHY?

Petersen has coached the premier mid-major and has beaten BCS schools. Tons of experience.

Wilcox worked for him.

What part of 92-12 do you not like?

For once, I agree with AuburnDoog. Petersen has done it for longer in the same conference. An 8-4 season shows how fickle many fans are. Petersen has turned down a shitload of jobs. He's not Mora, but he would be a good hire, and a safer bet than DeRuyter.

I can agree with this, doesn't make sense to me. I would take either or over Nuss but would prefer Petersen if it came down it it. I think people have a bad taste in their mouths because of the plunger job Sark put on him this season. Even great coaches lose to mediocre ones from time to time.

The part where he made a living beating up on Wyoming, San Jose, New Mexico State and Idaho.

But DeRuyter and Petersen and the two best "realistic" names out there.

Edited to say if he hasn't been interested in Oregon in the past, and in SC last week, he probably has no interest in UW. But who knows...

Hiring a coach is always a gamble but I just find Petersen to be one of the less riskier hires. The fact that he beats up the sisters of the poor year in year out is a factor. His track record against the Pac-12 and top 25 teams is actually not that bad though.

I think Petersen would be a decent hire because as I stated in another thread a coach who has gone to a couple BCS bowl games with so called "inferior talent" should be able to come in and work with the decent talent we have and be competing for a Rose Bowl in year 1. If he goes 9-5 with this group then he isn't the guy.

Auburn, Petersen is the #1 choice by a landslide. He's just stubborn and loyal. The second choice, Mora included, is lightyears distant. Ive already prayed for CP. Hopefully the good lord throws me a bone.

Anyone who thinks CP isnt the best choice needs help

I'm not 100% sold because I've seen these BCS "buster" coaches fail at the higher level enough to worry me. Hawkins, Mendenhall, Whittingham, Patterson all come to mind.

That said, he get's the most out of what he has on a consistent basis. I'm not gonna jump into a flaming dumpster if either Petersen or DeRuyter get hired. I favor Deruyter right now mostly because of his defensive background.

In terms of points against Boise State was 41st this year and Fresno State was 83rd. Fresno has the record it does this year because Carr has been killing it (1st in the FBS in passing yards).

I would like to see an actual so called offensive mind like Petersen come in and see what he could do with weapons like Kasen, Stringfellow, Mickens, Ross, Washington, and possibly even ASJ. If he can't get production against P12 competition constantly with that group then we will know he is just another Boise State dud.

Without a doubt I would take Petersen over any coordinator/1st time head coach learning on the job.

I'm hesitant of Petersen because BSU coaches have not fared well after they've left BSU. The college head coaching careers of former BSU coaches Nutt, Hawkins and Koetter ended after they failed when they left BSU for higher profile jobs. Nutt had some success @ AR, but he's no longer a head coach. Koetter's best finish in the Pac-10 was 3rd and he's an NFL asst. now. We all know how Hawkins did @ Colorado and he's coaching in fukin Montreal now. No joke. Plus, Petersen got beat by Dillingham and 7WS.

I like DeRuyter more because he's defensive oriented, he took over a shaky program and showed dramatic improvement in all phases, and won a conf. championship in his 1st yr and is playing for a second 1 after having 10 wins this season. He's coached in 13 bowls. While he hasn't been a HC for long, he's been coaching for over 22 years.
