    I still think promoting Mark Helfrich in 2013 instead of hiring Pete (he wanted the job) was one of the biggest blunders in Oregon history. I'd be happy to take Pete off your hands.

    Pete can coach. Let's not forget the Boise St fiesta bowl against Oklahoma, arguably one of the greatest college football games of all time.

    Bullshit. If Petersen wanted that job, he would've gotten the job. End of story.

    Also, he's not the same coach now as he was in that Fiesta Bowl. Not sure what happened to him, but he's gone dumbshit in close games, as well as bowl games.

    Even your own paper disagrees.

    Oregon was so drunk on the "Chip Kelly magic", they thought anything he did or said was right. They blindly took his advice when he said that Helfrich was the man for the job, even though Chip took away play calling duties from him after only one game.
    Ha ha. That entire article is based on conjecture written by 0reg0n alum, Adam Jude.

    That doesn't make it false

    At this point David Shaw has a more successful big game record than Pete. Let that settle in.

    Shaw, Harbaugh, Petersen, Riley, etc. all Tier 2 coaches. Good but not great. Why should we think we deserve anything better? We are a Tier 2 fanbase. Hard to swallow but the truth often is.

    Are you telling me Pete hasn't been allowed to recruit a 5 star big armed QB?

    The first time he blew it with Skinny. The second time he's proving why Skinny was right to leave.

    Harb's record at Michigan has shown that Shaw's success isn't simply an inheritance. He's part of the formula.
