Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Favorite player of the Petersen era so far?

Pete flipping him from Oregon was like the falling of a stone that eventually started an avalanche in the mountains. GOAT UW safety.

Cohen.
Pete would have never have come to UW without her.
I'm also hearing she is the one putting together this epic 2018 class.
Plus, rumor has it she will be calling the offense this fall from the DJ center.

My favorite first impression was Victor against Boise State. Doog optimism was obvious reality after watching him make his first tackle.
I love Petersen's first class. He took his best recruits from Boise and brought them to UW and the majority of them are studs. Gaines, Pettis, Johnson, Sample, Dissly.
A couple are non factors, but that first class was huge and shows that Pete has a special eye for talent/ skill in developing players.
I've enjoyed the Sark players like King, Victor, Mathis, and Bierria become studs under Petersen. Maybe not all of them, but most would have been average or slightly above average under Sark. Under Petersen, their talent is maximized. -
And yes, I have done a 180 with Pete because he won last year.
That said, my problems with him are the same as always. He gets cute on offense and over complicates things. His quotes on defense are completely different than his quotes on offense.
A big thing he has going for him is Pete actually gives a fuck about defense. A lot of offensive coaches don't. They pretend they do, but it's not an emphasis.
He's the right coach and we will contend for a natty a couple times during the next 5-10 years. Hopefully we can get one and Pete can cement himself as a truly great, special coach. -
Downvoted for a dearth of Chin on this list

I can't fairly judge that. Budda was always good, but his last 6 games were played at an insanely high level.dnc said:

Trey Adams. I hope he stay all 4 years.

Greg Gaines. He's not your typical elite DT. He doesn't have god-given athleticism but he makes up for it in his hard work and intelligence. Just a blue-collar, lunch pail guy with a high motor and a nasty streak. Really cerebral guy, too. You can tell he's a gym rat.
