    The only wholes to fill are the lines which are in terrible shape.

    BCS game in three years is acceptable. As the groupies here say, "Anything less ass out."

    Yes, but there's a limit to my patience
    I didn't know he was 92 and 12. That's very impressive no matter the level. He needs to have some 7-2, 8-1 type seasons in the first two yrs. though.

    He almost beat DeRuyter as Fresno this year with probably his shittiest team while at BSU. Sark would have won 3 or 4 games in that conference with that team it was so awful.

    The Sark plunger makes me a little nervous but Steve knew he had to win that game. First game brand new stadium, have a defense advantage with Wilcox knowing Petersen inside and out, against one of their worst teams in a long time.

    Chris is walking into a better situation than the first 2 guys. So we should expect to win.

    I'd rather have had a hire who proved himself at 2 different schools first. Urban Meyer...Bryan Kelly are 2 recent examples of what I'm talking about.

    There is very little comparison to those other coaches. The best Boise did was finish 13 in SRS (pre- CP). CP finished #13 or better in 5 of his first 6 seasons. CP was way better than those guys at Boise. Those other guys rated fairly mediocre upon closer look.

    Completely agree. Their resume aren't even remotely close to Petersens who has shown results on the national stage. He is the only one of that group that shows he could be lethal with the resources of a big time program.

    He could end up being another flop in the BSU line but I feel good about our chances just watching random Boise State games throughout the years. He is a proven offensive mind.

    I think the Koetter Hawkins comparison is unfair. Over his time Petersen accomplished much more than either of them and was really the brains behind hawkins

    THIS. From my understanding he was the Chip Kelly running the show and they were riding his coat tails.

    Time will tell if that is true. I think Petersen just like that is arguably the best coach in our division(him or Shaw). While with Sark he was in the Riley/Leach tier and probably below Sling Blade.

    We could have resurrected Gil Dobie and there would be a limit to my patience. Any coach would have to produce.

    But this was a fantastic hire for UW.

    I wouldn't go that far but he is in the same conversation as Mora, Shaw, and Graham. He just has to field results now.

    I said DIVISION not conference. Meaning the competition is Dykes, Riley, Leach, Sling Blade and Shaw.

    Under the circumstances, which has left much to be desired, I think this hire is a home run. While as fans we wanted a bigger name, we must not forget what UW has become - a coaching cesspool where as late as last night many here feared we were going to get another intern. Just earlier this week, Mora turned down the UW. What may other candidates thought if Mora didn't want it?

    With Petersen, we have improved the prospects of returning to elite status. I believe he will build a strong and vibrant program that will have top candidates clamoring to replace him when he retires.

    I felt almost devastated when Mora turned UW down, in what feels like the longest non-game week in a long time. Now, I am more optimistic than I've been since I can't remember when. Perfect? Not close. But, it may prove excellent.

    Well done, Mr. Woodward.

    I really don't care about win/loses, this is what I want to see.

    Within 2 years - Win Pac 12 North, in the top 25.
    Within 3 years - Win Pac 12, in the top 15
    Within 4 years - Win Rose Bowl or other Major Bowl….BCS bowls will be gone….in the top 5.

    National Championships take a lot of things to come together at the right time, but we certainly should be in the discussion often post year 4.

    Wow, Kutter was better at ASU than Sark was at UW.

    Wait, why am I saying 'wow'?

    Lets see if Graham can get ASU to contend regularly. Very impressive so far but they have like 15 senior starters and ASU has been losing in-state talent repeatedly. Lets see where Graham and Shaw are in 2-3 years. If we bring in top 20 classes every year then I definitely expect to be better than ASU & Stanford. Here is how I'd rate the current coaches:

    1. Mora
    2. Graham
    3. Shaw/RichRod

    This is the first time since Neuheisel that I've actually felt like we now have a coach who can meet or exceed my expectations for UW football:

    - Compete for the Pac-12 title (not just the north division) every year
    - Win the Pac-12 (not just the north) at least three times a decade
    - Compete for a national title at least once a decade

    Yours humbly,

    Sir Doogsalot
