Doubt Pete will coach DI football again. NIL and the transfer portal are probably 2 of his personal hells.

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.whatshouldicareabout said: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.
He saw what happened to successful Boise State coaches that jumped to P5 schools too quick (or without being judicious) to P5 programs -
First coach in PAC-10 to make $1M/year?YellowSnow said: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.
Rick Neuheisel, UW, 1999. The salaries exploded after that. -

In 1983 Don James was making $103,200 or $308,000 adjusted to 2022 dollars. Hell, even the row boat corch makes over $300,000 now.trublue said:

Who wants to try hard to win Rose Bowls when you can just drink fancy coffee and drive pimp boats? -
Yep … I got the impression in that article that he will be back in the next 12-24 months for one last runRoadDawg55 said: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. -

Drive for Amazon then pop off about burn out

No shit. I give zero fucks about some guy who was paid tens of millions of dollars in his career to coach a kids' game and then he bitches about burnout and passion and all that fuckery.YellowSnow said:

Try driving truck or working on a farm or anything in the trades to put food on the table. That's real passion and commitment and discipline.
Like we say, Peterman, fuck off.
