    I still beat for Coach Pete. Both of them. winky winky

    I just think Pete wasn't ready for the transition to a bigger market and had regrets for what he left behind at Boise. Friends, smaller market, etc. That being said I agree he hates being second guessed by armchair quarterbacks, and severely morbidly obese 'reporters' who don't Broonc out like the reporters in Boise would (at least I think they do). I feel like Pete appreciates it more now than even a couple years ago. I still don't know anyone who has personally met him, but I'm poor, and none of my daddies are that rich. I'd also venture that based on the stories that came out re Sark (Duchess, Joey's, Patron) that there was probably a strong push from the AD to not be as visible. Let's not forget it wasn't completely on field stuff that got Lambo fired. Sadly off field stuff probably weighs more heavily here than on field, or at least a happy balance doesn't seem to have been established.

    When you win the conference and beat a bunch of P5 teams like Pete did, reporters are going to bow down.

    NOGAF anymore about that at UW and when you’re program is regressing and you are doing stupid shit, you get called out. The Seattle media goes light on him.
    I'll give CP & UW credit for basically browbeating the media into towing the line.

    I hope you are right and I am wrong. Because to me a loser is a loser.

    Derek's theory checks out. I heard rumblings from a source that would know after the Rose Bowl that Pete is ready to get out of coaching. Was told that he had a couple of years left and Lake would move into the HC role as part of the succession plan developed by Jen. On Saturday after the loss I heard that it might happen sooner. Was told Pete's really burnt out, disappointed he can't win the big one and he is unwilling to make changes to the staff when he knows he's done.
