    Pete hates to lose - he left Boise after one average 8 win season and left Washington as soon as we slid to an 8 win season. I can see him being tempted to return if it's a job where he can win national championship but that's it. Maybe he'll reconsider USC...
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
    This,
    CP has shown his MO 2wice..
    He gone.
    Something inside UW soured his drive
    He won't move backwards
    His eyes are on an SEC or B1G job if he goes back on the sideline.
    USC maybe if they come calling.
    Natty or bust!

    If Pete comes back it will be for a much better job...

    It's so obvious Jimmy isn't the guy but there's no way Jen gets rid of him even with a winless season... We're fucked for years to come now.

    I'm afraid you're right.

    Sure we all care about winning but I don't think upper campus gives a shit.

    It will take $$ drying up and that will take some time.

    Fuck Pete and fuck going back

    Burn the boats

    If by burn the boats you mean that we have to win with the current staff... then like we say... no

    Somewhat of a catch 22 since if Pete walked back through that door I'd infer that he got his fire back. But yeah, it's not fucking happening.
    I'd think they backed the Brinks truck up and he still didn't have the fire for this, but took the money anyway.

    I only wanted mediocre, not this shitshow. Jimmy ain’t lasting past this year at this point.

    Everyone is clearly missing the point.
    IF you can get Pete to plug this gigantic hole you do it. Portal transfers and mass exodus of talent are going to happen. It’s already happening with instate recruiting. Make Pete a god damn offer he can’t refuse… fuck make him AD

    No it means we’re going back to war with the UW after a brief respite.

    The war has always been raging, it just moved underground for a few years. The guerrilla tactics of failure are now openly flaunted by the AD.

    He's part of the problem and not the answer if you want to compete on the national stage.

    If Jen had any brains she’s on the phone Monday morning giving Pete an offer he can’t refuse

    If Jen wants to give Pete an offer he can't refuse that would include Jen stepping down and hiring a more competent AD.

    Rumor I heard is that Pete was not in favor of Jen as the AD and wanted his buddy from BSU hired into the role.

    This is the NLI era, an extension of the behind the scenes activity that has been happening in prior years to NLI. Even Don James couldn't compete in today's environment for the best recruits. Oregon is going to continue to take the best recruits regardless whether they win or lose. And Washington will continue to lose recruits until an Amazon or Microsoft steps up. Will a good coach come to UW knowing that Oregon has the NLI advantage for the foreseeable future? Doubtful. And the transfer portal adds an layer of instability and stress on a coaching staffs that doesn't have the NLI advantage. College teenager free agency is here. Enjoy. On a side note, Jimmy Lake has the team on a steep downward trajectory with decent recruits. The AD will have a decision to make very soon.

    Last time I checked UW went from schedule gifted 7-6 Sark to Playoffs with 2-3 star talent under Pete.
    Who’s to say Lake didn’t get under his skin and Pete just said fuck it?
    Hire him as AD and let him take over the season. Save the talent save the recruiting classes. There’s too much talent in Washington to throw away on Lakes mess. Let Pete do a search for an adequate replacement on his own terms
