I'm assuming @Dennis_DeYoung is serious with this Doog bullshit. If so, I'm disappointed. Pete woke up and didn't have the drive so he quit. Not a saint does this make. He didn't want to do it anymore. Literally would not do it even if you paid him millions. Does Dennis think he did this out of altruism? Do you Doog fucks think the same thing?

I'd bet what's left of my shriveled old nut sack that 10-15-20 years from now when this UW thing is a distant memory your mother fucking Saint Pete will be basking in the fall sunshine of Albertsons Stadium watching games in his favorite Boise St hat being lavished by his Boise St disciples and telling his grandkids how great he was AT BOISE FUCKING STATE.

DDY is playing at being an ambassador for the program instead of a shitposter.

He is saying what he thinks needs to be said not necessarily what he believes.

He's still taking shots at Cooper McDonalds* and Nick Harris (which is chin sane) on BDTW.

He's the same as he's ever been.

Or maybe Pete was so burned out that he couldn't tolerate even one more day. And there was nothing selfless or saintly about it.

I made my post before I read this take. Your take says it better than mine, but same message.

I'm sick of my job, too, but I was still up at 4:30 this morning to get ready to go to the damned thing. Because money.

You guys are acting like there are only two extremes here: He either got lazy and quit or was a saint and stepped aside for the good of the program. There's a middle choice to be made, too, in which Chip Kelly Chris Petersen keeps cashing those $4.5 million checks and just mails it in, cratering the program until he's fired or quits much later. He could have just stopped recruiting, stopped caring at all, and made another pile of money the likes of which I'll never accumulate in my lifetim.

You can argue the hyperbolic word choice, but giving up all that money to avoid cratering the program is a pretty damned decent thing to do, sick of it or not.

I never said or implied he was lazy, and therefore selfish. I said he was burned out and possibly couldn't endure any more of this career. He already has enough money to live comfortably the rest of his life. If he's a moral person, and I believe him to be, he would fend off all attempts to praise him for this, even if he acted with the program in mind.

I think Pete did some great work at UW, namely making us nationally relevant again. But ultimately he wasn’t statue worthy and never could fully make the transition to big time Power 5 football. I don’t think he’s some kind of Saint but I’m glad he got the fuck out if his heart wasn’t in it.

This comment is exactly right. However, 6 years ago had someone said, and people did, that this would be the case, the argument’s support would’ve been he couldn’t recruit at a Power 5 level, and he couldn’t relate to 4/5 star recruits. Instead, his shortcomings were largely during the game day: schemes, aggressiveness, playing the top talent, knowing when to go for it and when to punt, mentally preparing the team. Those were all things I thought he would’ve dominated.

Yep, Pete was nearly as good as I thought he would be but his struggles were nothing I anticipated at all.

I'd disagree a bit here. It took Pete quite a while to break out of middle of PAC level recruiting to top tier Power 5 recruiting. The 2016- 17 classes simply weren't good enough and had too many holes. The breakthrough year really didn't come until 2018 and now it's up to Lake to make hay with those guys (or not).

With the benefit of hindsight I think we can say Pete pretty much played out as one might have expected if you looked closely enough. His Boise State offense had stagnated and never really got better here. And it took 5 long years for recruiting to really hit it's stride.

I'm extremely grateful for what Pete did at UW. He left the program in way better than how he found it. But "sainthood" is not in order. Only Don James gets that. To me he'll always be "blessed" Peter.

He found this place at 9-4 and leaving at 7-5
