Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Dan Hawkins or Don James? It's too early to tell

Dan Hawkins and Dirk Koetter did better at Boise State than DJ did at Kent State. In that case, at one point they were better than DJ as well. These comparisons are essentially useless. Petersen will win or he won't. Petersen's resume at Boise State is impressive, but it doesn't matter anymore.EwaDawg said:

DJ - 25-19-1 at Kent State.
DJ - 6-5 in 1975
DJ - 5-6 in 1976
CP - 92-12 at BSU (MUCH,MUCH, MUCH, MUCH tougher comp than fucking Kent State)
CP - 6-4 in 2014 with 2-3 winnable games left.
DH - 2-10 in 2006
DH - 6-7 in 2007
DJ could easily be closer to DH than he will be to CP after two years.
James learned, made changes, and became a great coach but he started off MEDIOCRE at best.
Pete is currently better than mediocre. Hence better than DJ (at that point which is the only relevant comparison point).
LIFPO
TLDR version. Until proven otherwise, Petersen is more like DJ than DH.
Water is wet, but Petersen's not Don James, and he's not the former Boise State coaches either. If he fails, he won't be the first coach that wins big at a lower level that didn't achieve success at higher levels. The opposite is also true. He's not doomed to fail because of the past Boise coaches and he's not ensured success at UW because of what he's done in the past. There is nothing to do but LIPO and see where he ends up in a couple years. -
We all suspected Sark sucked from day 1. But we KNEW he sucked by year 3. The same will be true with Petersen in year 3. He will either be good, or he will suck, but we will know then. Either way, shit will be interesting.

So, what is the suspicion right now? I suspect Peenerman is out of his depth going from the small pond to the big ocean.
-
I suspect he will do well by the third year. Early returns are mixed, but the shitty strategy of hope is all I have left.

My issue with Sark was him flapping his yapper all the time and not backing it up. And then kim and company sucking him off like he did something great. Add to that three game losing streaks, getting blown out by average teams, and when he did win, seemingly take a week off to be a dude brah and fuck Joey's waitresses made him intolerable. Petersen is an adult in charge and while he hasn't done a lot to make me think he is going to be Don James, I'm willing to be more tolerant of him than dude brah. Still, win or GTFO. I think he will win, eventually.Swaye said:We all suspected Sark sucked from day 1. But we KNEW he sucked by year 3. The same will be true with Petersen in year 3.

Better than Hawkins, about Koetter-replacement level until proven otherwise.
