Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Is Petersen our Truman?

I.e., a leader with lower approval ratings from us after the 2018 and 2019 disappointment, but who will be judged more favorably in decades to come by Hardcore Historians (invite still stands @CarlinBuff )?
I still hate Pete for not wanting to nuke the North Koreans and Chinese in the 2019 Rose Bowl and for whatever his role was in the Jimmy Lake getting hired.
But some of that hate has faded over the past week of DeBoerGate.

They each fucked the program for different reasons
But 2023 will always be better than anything Pete did -
I still hate him for the 2018 & 2019 Cal & Oregon games.
He killed my inner doog.

Pete had his flaws, but he's the only genuine guy we've had as a coach since forever
That said, DeBoer is the better coach and won games that Pete would've lost (like ASU and OSU this year) -
If Pete's heart and soul wasn't into being a big-time CFB coach anymore, how would it have benefited UW for him to stick around after the 2019 season?
If anything, it was Cohen's fault for not doing a more aggressive search. Sure Lake was a natural candidate but he had never been a HC before and she should be judged by the results of his tenure (and lingering buyout). She also saddled UW with Hopkins. -
He could recruit, he was honest, and he was sincere.
I hate him less now but that’s only because I have so much haie in my heart to allocate and dedouche and TOF get the majority of it. -
Agree.RaceBannon said:They each fucked the program for different reasons

But my DeBoer hate is burning much more intensely than my Pete hate, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
I require my Husky Football head coaches to be ALL IN, LFG during Natty runs. Anything less, is an unforgiveable sin. -
That said, Petersen is the better recruiter and brought in the talent that allowed DeBoer to win games like Oregon (thrice) and Texaswhatshouldicareabout said:Pete had his flaws, but he's the only genuine guy we've had as a coach since forever

Petersen appears to be trying to hang out in the background and bring some stability to the program. He did it for DeBoer and he's putting even more effort now with Fisch. Showed up to the natty, backs us on national TV in front of a bunch of SC/B1G homers, and in general has been a positive. He truly just doesn't want the grind anymore.
I will still never forgive him for the 2019 + Lake stuff, but I can't say that it isn't healthy for the program to have this kind of asset. Just sucks he never finished the job those 3 years. -
James: A
DeBoer: A-
Petersen: B+
Lambright: B/B-
Neuheisel: B/B-
Sarkisian: B-/C+
Gilbertson: F
Willingham: F
Lake: F- -
Petersen was a B-, Lambo as much as I loved him, was a C

I do give Petersen some credit for recognizing that he was burned out and done, and for stepping aside. Most coaches tend to do what Chip is doing at UCLA— not giving a fuck, banging towel boys in the locker room after practice, and watching everything decay while cashing paychecks.haie said:Petersen appears to be trying to hang out in the background and bring some stability to the program.

At least Pete has stuck around and works to help the program out. Didn't just catch a flight to Destin.

Neuheisel > Pete
Winners win -

Petersen faced 13-1 Bama in the South, 11-2 Penn State (losses by a total of 4 points), and 11-1 tOSU.
I tell Duck fans the same shit when they pop off about the 2019 Rose Bowl. Congrats, you beat the 3 loss conference Runner Up.
Neu popped off and then imploded. The leftovers of Peterlips made a natty.
Petersen > Neu. -
Doogs gonna Doog. Never had much hope for you anyways.

You can celebrate beating 8-5 Purdue all you want. That was a dogshit team and that UW squad deserved to play someone better.PurpleJ said:

Doog.
Sark beats that Purdue team in 2013. Hth.

Petersen and unironically Sark left the program significantly better than how they found it.
Willingham was the worst coach of all time but left the program in a better state than Neu OR Debore.
No coach has done more damage to the UW football program than Debore
Only James reached a higher plateau than Debore
IDK, there is more than one way to fuck a program.

You like to play down a Rose Bowl win. That’s what you like to do. Coog bored is thattaway pal.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

@YellowSnow
Speaking of Truman, have you read Truman by David McCullough? Seminal door-stop read.
That is all.

Beating Purdue in that Rose Bowl was not unlike beating Colorado in Santa Clara. Neuheisel caught very familiar lightning in a bottle with the previous regime's players, a legendary QB, a ton of close games, and then it all went to shit. Then he went to UCLA and proceeded to somehow be even worse. Petersen vs Neu isn't an argument even worth having.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

Great book. Starts to get a little TL;DR for @CFetters_Nacho_Lover attention span though.pawz said:@YellowSnow

Yeah except it was the ROSE BOWL and not some shitty Pac12 championship game. Show me Peterman’s bare ass trophy case and also how he quiet quit before the Rose Bowl and I’ll show you an overrated doog legend.CallMeBigErn said:
