Pete could have been better than James if he wanted to. He just didn’t have the fire in his belly. Guess getting paid like 10 times what James did adjusted for inflation will do that to a man.
Pete had his boot on Oregon’s throat and he let them off. -

Nothing sadder than wasted potential. 2016 was a brilliant campaign that should have just been the beginning.RaceBannon said:

FTFYRaceBannon 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. 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 half mythical national championships and a 4-2 NY Day bowl record > quitting -

Upper Campus made James quit.
Mario Cristobal made Chris Petersen quit.
James just quit with 4 NYD bow trophies and half a NC behind the glass.
Petersen quit with...I honestly don’t even remember...
That said, Petersen is the 2nd best head coach in the last 50 years at UW, just ahead of Rick, who was basically an upgraded version of Sark. -
Isn't it conventional wisdom at this point that Marlon, Togiai, Asa, Puka and that Asian trap made Petersen quit?
Having to go HARD on recruiting kids who are getting hoodwinked, pimped out by their HS coaches, razzle-dazzled, and who are ultimately not as bought into OKG/B4L as he probably thought they were.
