Should be chastised for his lack of fortitude. Or Applauded for getting his nut from Jen and then lighting Jimmys bag on fire.

    Honestly never thought he was happy with the move. Never got the impression he fully embraced husky football. I absolutely love him and would even do feet stuff for the guy. I'm generally a no go below the ankles, which I learned is haram from @PurpleBaze . Those three years were absolute doog boners and I loved every second. Sadly he wasn't able to overcome stuff as part of the gig, is no longer coaching, and if coaches again, won't likely be at UW.

    First two years were "numb" and "blurry". That explains why our offense sucked so bad.

    Also, if I had a nickel for everyone who has said, “I’ll be a Husky for life, but..."

    Remember the Hawaii game? Dude had to milk the clock like he was New Mexico State securing the upset.

    Single handedly hamded Arizona a victory because "my dumb fuck system told me to give it to the back with no knees instead of just kneeling and punting and putting their win % at like .2"

    2015 he lost to fucking Utah. At home! Fucking garage band fill in singer QB.

    Then goes up like 21-0 against Todd Graham who then just destroys him in the 2nd half because his offensive philosophy assumes teams don't blitz your dink and dunl bullshit.

    Pete came to Washington to break through that G5 ceiling and show the nation that his methods worked and were the best in CFB.

    Getting UW to the playoffs is an accomplishment few schools can claim, especially considering how we haven't done anything since 2000.

    Once Pete saw what Alabama was like, he tried to elevate his game (esp recruiting) and that's what caused his burn out.

    Going into 2019, he knew he was done.

    After Alabama he went about it all wrong. Closed a bunch of soft players that Oregon and SC eat up 24/7.

    I hated Pete the first two years, but 2016 made it all gravy.

    He will coach again somewhat soon. The bullshit about him helping businesses was always stupid. Pete has done nothing in his adult life but coach football. That’s his skill.

    i think he was burnt out coaching at bjc, uw came calling, thought it would reinvigorate him, did for a bit, realized he couldnt/wouldnt compete against playoff teams, and then he again realized he hated coaching.

    Remember what Pete said when he was hired by the Huskies? What did he see himself doing in 10 years?

    It wasn’t being the head coach at UW or aspiring to coach a more big-time Power 5 football program.

    Look it up . . .

    Don’t think any good coach is ready for the expectations of the Husky fans (Tyee folks) accompanied by a lack of support from the school’s Administration and an AD like Jen.

    It helps to have the AD, Coach and fans on the same page and an Administration that at least stays out of the way.

    Pete had numerous opportunities to leave Boise State before he took the UW job.

    He saw what happened to successful Boise State coaches that jumped to P5 schools too quick (or without being judicious) to P5 programs

    Imagine if Pete was getting paid Don James money (ie non generational wealth). He’d have to grind it out like every other working stiff sleeping in the office drinking @MikeDamone approved Folgers covfefe.

    First coach in PAC-10 to make $1M/year?

    Rick Neuheisel, UW, 1999. The salaries exploded after that.

    Yep … I got the impression in that article that he will be back in the next 12-24 months for one last run

    The Pac-12 in the past 20 years has had a really hard time maintain long-term toughness. Even the Pete Carroll USC teams were oddly much scarier when they had lesser recruits. Oregon and Stanford in the 2010s were similar to Pete's UW teams where oddly they got worse even when they were supposedly leveling up in recruiting.
    So we’re kicking Oregon’s ass this year?


    Cook it👌👌

    Drive for Amazon then pop off about burn out

    Nobody feels sorry for millionaires. They can afford to quit

    In hindsight, Pete's epic 3 game run from the 2019 Rose Bowl to Eastern WA and Cal in 2019 broke me as Husky fan. Covid, NIL, portal just kicked in the door and finished the jerb.

    The Rose Bowl was emotionally draining as hell I thought we had a chance (emotions not experienced in Atlanta). Then watching EWU re-run at @UW_Doog_Bot 's house eating bacon wrapped dogs, I'm declaring that Big Dick Eason is gonna ass fuck the Pac and win the Heisman. Finally CAL proved that God hates UW football and Thor rained down lightning on Husky Stadium.
    #repthenorth was the final nail in the coffin for me.

    It let me know that upper campus had won and Husky Football was indeed 6ft under Montlake as intended.

    Fight On!
    Upper Campus has killed Husky Football numerous times. Nothing's changed with us. But we were always one great coaching hire away from overcoming this handicap. Rick and Pete were close, but no cigar.

    Alas, there's no way UW has the upper campus to win big in NIL era football. It's over.

    The OKG stuff was pretty interesting (the rest of that convo was just life coach stuff that's whatever). Hearing him explain the system is pretty convincing, but he clearly heard all the criticism of his approach lol.

    Was not prepared for him to praise Sark tho. Yikes.

    All that said - love Pete. He made us relevant again, if only for a minute.

    I loved parts of the Petersen era. We lost our 3rd child to a miscarriage the night before 70-21. Watching that game was pure joy.
