    13 is lower than Petersen is normally ranked on these type of lists. I've seen him as high as third or fourth. I do think you need to see him at a big conference before ranking him that high.

    People are waiting for things to LIPO a bit, I think.

    When Peterman wins 10 games this year he'll be back in the top 5

    I'm more comfortable with him in the low teens. I think he's damn good, but I think there is some risk with Petersen that you wouldn't have with the top 6 or 8 guys, at least.

    The reason I love the hire so much is the upside is there for this to be a legit top 5 coach in the nation. I don't think we can call him that just yet though.

    I'm gonna need to see a championship.

    Definitely agree. On the flip side, I wouldn't trade Petersen for Briles, Spurrier, Bill Snyder, or James Franklin. After Saban, Meyer, and maybe Stoops, I think Petersen can hold his own with anyone, but it's time to LIPO and see how he does at UW.

    LOL at Helfrich being the 11th best coach in the PAC ... which actually kind of feels right in what I saw last year.

    There are few coaches that I would want on that list higher than Petersen.

    I'm not convinced that Briles is a GREAT coach yet. Likewise with James Franklin. Lots of old coaches on the list.

    I agree with the thought that Petersen probably shouldn't be ranked in the Top 5-10 coaches at this point ... but he easily could push onto that list. And as we know, a Top 5 in the country coach at Washington means that you can win at a high, high level.
