FTG. Dude is getting paid millions but he wants to enjoy life too. Just was no longer interested in competing, which reflected in his winning record

Hats off to him. He was rich and miserable and decided to be rich and happy instead. We should all be so lucky to get there some day.FireCohen said:FTG. Dude is getting paid millions but he wants to enjoy life too. Just was no longer interested in competing, which reflected in his winning record

Didn't read - was there hawt bubble screen talk?

This stung a bit:
Petersen even admitted that going to Seattle to take the Washington job was — in hindsight — not an enlightened move. He doesn’t necessarily regret going to Washington, but he does say that he was living in a different mindset when he was an active coach, and he is glad he no longer inhabits that thought world now.
I get that hindsight is 20/20, but honestly, keep these comments to yourself Chris. It’s disrespectful to the players, fans, etc. who were excited to have you here. -

Sounds like he isn’t #built4life

Didn’t read it. I’ll save you the time:
M-A-R-I-O
Inhabiting thought my ass. -
Ban the motherfucker from campus.

Christ. At a loss for words after that.

I'm really close to agreeing with you here, but I continue to value his openness about why he left the job. I genuinely appreciate that he recognized he's no longer enough of a sociopath to be the successful head football coach I want and need and got the fuck out rather than milking his contract for another decade, which is what literally every other burnt out coach has done.Doog_de_Jour said:This stung a bit:

I really hope he charges his batteries and ends up at UC Davis or Weber State or some shit. He seems to be a genuinely good and decent person who likes to teach and coach and help kids rise up.
I bet almost none of his players feel disrespected by him expressing this sentiment, except maybe the last few that committed to him.
