I wish the UW job had been more of a stepping stone. Would have been nice to get Neuheisel hired away sooner than when he had to get fired but he went downhill so quickly in 2001 I think no one wanted him. Same with Sark in 2009 and 2010. To be fair as well, a lot of coaches would have been hired away from UW after 2016 if they did what Petersen did but it just happened Petersen was a rare guy who wasn't interested. I also think Mario might have only left Oregon for Miami, Alabama (succeeding Saban) or the NFL and I think only the first was a real option. Bad luck for Oregon but Taggart getting hired away was great luck so evens out.
