A key difference between Don James and Chris Peterman

Don James had the humility to fire Dorazio and bring in Gilby to revamp the offense, while still retaining Pinkel as coordinator. DJ was a few years late to the party but what a different it made when he did.
Some of us thought Pete was having that moment with Tedford, but after Tedford left Pete went back to shitting the bed offensively.
Peterman could have burned out in style with multiple Rose Bowl titles

There are two stories on James quitting. One is that he told his bosses he would quit if UW ever got put on probation. The other is that he gave an ultimatum on taking a TV ban not a bowl ban but the admin kept the TV and took the bowl
At any rate quitting with two national championships and a 4-2 NY Day bowl record > quitting -
According to Coach James it was the boldfaced part above plus he was furious that Gerberding told the Pac-10 he was fine with the 2-year bowl ban, whereas Coach James would have accepted the one-year bowl ban. He told Barbara Hedges to tell Gerberding that if he didn't support them better than that, he would resign. The next morning, Barbara called James and said Gerberding wouldn't be at the meeting because he had left town. So James became pissed off and promptly resigned.RaceBannon said:There are two stories on James quitting. One is that he told his bosses he would quit if UW ever got put on probation.

Actually, July 20 will mark the 16th anniversary of my interview with him in the Don James Center, when we talked about all that. Time flies. -
