Good write-up on the days leading to Petersen's hire
“Yes, that’s true. It was one of the times when I talked to him about coming back to Oregon," Bellotti said. “He said, ‘I think there are jobs with a greater ceiling.’ He was talking about Washington because at the time, they had been down for a while."
Petersen's interest in Washington was so serious, in fact, that his representatives not only reached out to Woodward but also enlisted Bellotti to call Woodward to make sure he knew how serious they were. Although feelers were put out to UCLA coach Jim Mora, a former Husky player, and Missouri coach Gary Pinkel, an assistant under former Huskies coach Don James, and Woodward spoke with Doug Nussmeier and Marques Tuiasosopo, things moved quickly toward a Washington-Petersen marriage.

that article totally forgot the huge role Jen Cohen played in this.

Puppy said we would miss Woodward.
Woodward tried to screw it up but luckily Petersen didn't let that happen. -
Is that Eklund's brother Chris in the comments. Or is it a Chris Fetters, Scott Eklund screen name. Seems pretty chinteresting their views.

Praise be to St. Haden, I didn't realize it was that close.
Negotiations were under way between USC and Petersen, and according to a source, general financial terms were agreed upon, but Petersen would not formally interview with Haden until after the regular season -- on Sunday, Dec. 1, in a Boise hotel.
It didn't go well, for Haden or for Petersen. The source compared it to a "bad date." Haden turned down an interview request, as did his top lieutenant, J.K. McKay, so the reported differences in that lengthy interview typically fall into a range between speculation and rumor.
Another source explained it like this: “I think it was a mutual idea that it might not have been a good fit. ... There were some things about the job that didn’t excite him too much, and there were things he said about how he viewed things that didn’t excite them.” -
"[Sarkisian] was saying, 'Hey, it’s going to be a tough decision,'" said Woodward, now the athletic director at Texas A&M. "I said, 'No, it’s not. I get it.' And he said, 'No, it really is. I’m really torn.' And I said, 'OK, but I’m moving on like you’re going to take this job.'"
poolboy was/is dumber than the DNC (no, not @dnc) but i think at this point he'd heard/realized sark's a partier, not getting shit done, 7 wins, etc. i basically read this as "take the job and gtfo, thanks." -

Puppy has a good write-up too. 95% of you re-re's didnt want to part with Sark. Steel2, Fireman and Pup celebrated till the morning light when the news broke. Still the difference between us 3 and you bonios. A short and sweet write-up

so 2 1/2 years later ol' Pool Boy is talking tough like he orchestrated this whole thing. If Petersen didn't demand to be hired we'd still be the joke of the conference.
-
I read the article. Petersen had that place dialed in.
But the article isn't dialed in on facts. I understand that Haden offered Petersen, Petersen heard Sark was a possibility at USC and bailed knowing he would rather coach at UW.
And Jen showed her tits. -
I'm pretty sure 95% of this bored would have gladly taken Sark to the aurora bridge with a ladder, gasoline, and some matches.puppylove_sugarsteel said:Puppy has a good write-up too. 95% of you re-re's didnt want to part with Sark.

Puppy wanted a 6th year of Sark and predicted a championship for him at USC.

Here's a link to Pumpy good at everything claiming Sark will win the North because he got mad in a press conference and that was a sign that Sark's a good coach according to @puppylove_sugarsteelRoadDawg55 said:

Funny how the Dan Hawkins narrative on Pete has quickly turned to "Oregon/USC had him. Well maybe he could leave Washington...."
He's here to stay at Washington and pound your quook and trooj assholes for a long time.
