I really like the hire, probably the best move Woodward could have made. But, I expect to see results, and until that happens, I'm still in somewhat of a LIPO mode.
Props to Woodward though, he got it done and hired a big time coach. Between getting the stadium and facilities upgrade, and now this hire, he deserves a lot of respect from Husky Nation.
The yes options are basically the same. I am thrilled with the hire because it's not Nuss or some other dumb fuck but rather a coach who other teams would want and respect.
If he loses though, I will turn on him quick. 10 wins is the bare minimum for next season, 11+ for the season to be considered a real success. So there is a limit to my patience, but right now, I am going to doog it up. Unless you are one of the true fans from doogman, you don't get these opportunities very often as a Husky fan.
I agree, if Peteresen can't win anything substantial in 2 years then Door.Ass.Out. But I have a good feeling about Petersen, he has everything you want on a track record. BCS bowl wins (2 for 2, should have been in a 3rd), great conference record (yea shitty conference but he also didn't have amazing recruits), and the ability to beat big teams on the road.
He consistently gets 2/3 star recruits into the NFL. Imagine what he could do with constant 4 star recruits with a 5 star sprinkled in every now and then.
His recruiting is the biggest ??? but with his credentials and the new stadium/facilities he shouldn't have any issues. Especially if Tosh is still around.
I think it will be nice to see a well coached team for once. We haven't had that in decades. Even under Slick Rick the team was more like Carroll's Seahawks where you have sloppy penalties.
If Petersen goes 7-6 or 8-5 next year I'll turn on him quickly.
I think with our schedule I could see a 10-3 or 11-2 type of regular season.
I think this hire just laughs at the Doogs who always said to us "Well if you fire Sark who is going to come here?! WHO?!!"
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.
What is interesting about those numbers is that Chris, I feel I can cal hi Chris now, won 40 more games than Hawk, and 70 more games than Dirk with the same number of losses. I think that is a major difference. Longevity and a far better winning percentage.
We always expect to win. No one will be harder on Petersen than us

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.
It took me some time to come around on Petersen, and the CBS Sports Interview was alarming, although y'all made some good points that most of these uber successful coaches hate the fucking media and have trouble with 'em anyways. I concur. I just hope he doesn't get burnt out on this job and his performance suffers accordingly.
With that being said and all things considered, this hire has to be considered a homerun.
Damn near no one could pry this guy away from Boise St., and the fact that UW did, will be perceived extremely well, which is a big part of this whole thing, whether we like it or not.
I was initially hesitant because of how his predecessors fared after they left BSU. But when you dig into it and look at his resume, the numbers are pretty staggering:
- 92-12; .885% winning percentage - 5-2 Bowl games; 2-0 in BCS bowl games - 4 WAC Champs, 1 MTN West - 2-0 vs 0regon GFY - 18 NFL draft selections; 4 1st rounders - 2 Bear Bryant Awards; 1 Bobby Dodd
I don't think there's any question that he can coach. He went down to the Fiesta Bowl his 1st year of being a HC and schooled Bob Stoops. Now THAT, sports fans, is fucking impressive.
But like any hire, there's always some risk. You can never be 100% certain a coach is going to be a good fit (Unless his name is Urban Meyer), and only time will tell.
The AD proved me wrong and I'm glad he did. I thought he was going to botch it. Well done.
I'm excited about Husky football again because I do think this is a great hire and a good fit for the program.
Petersen seems like a genuine person. It's going to be very refreshing having Petersen representing UW, leading our team, instead of having some bullshit artist lead the program, who was an embarrassment to the university.
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.

(which was the same score Stanford beat UW by in 2010 when Sark guaranteed an undefeated season at home.)

I am definitely happy ... Lets do this!!
FYFMFE!!!

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

Here's to Petersen's continued success at UW.
Cheers, you fukin lunatics.

But this was a fantastic hire for UW.
