    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.

    Not surprised. Leach is going to win the Pac12 north at least once before he is done at WSU, cook it

    Disagree - Leach isn't going to win the North ... but he'll have a handful of years where he's in it in November ... which still makes him better than Sark.

    He'll be lucky to finish second. He's clearly a worse coach than Petersen or Shaw, both of whom are at better programs with infinitely better resources. Then you have Oregon who may or may not have a drecky coach but if they do they won't keep him long and will be back in the mix very quickly.

    Outside of Pat Haden, Leach is the biggest victim of Sark's move. He has no chance in the division now, none.

    "So why again are there so many idiots out there thinking that Sark was so fucking great and that Petersen is a step back? "

    Perhaps you issued the kick ass presser and last years spring circus...

    *sizzle.

    The state of washington went from Sark and Wulff to Pete and Leach over the last two years, the two best hires possible for the state

    This. Petersen is exactly what UW needed, Leach is exactly what WSU needed.

    Hopefully UW and WSU finish first and second in the north more years than they don't. I want the winner of the Apple Cup to be going to the P12 title game every year.

    He might finish 2nd this year, depending on how much Slingblade has sunk Oregon

    It was a callback to his own his statement. Not self parody, he clearly believes it.
