    This was my second to Mora. Helluva second. He's got 15 games before I start to spell his name wrong... if needed.

    But with the talent on this roster + next year's OOC schedule, minimum standards should be 10+ wins.

    I love the hire, but I need to see it play out on the field before I'm 100% sold

    I would be in the Absolutely camp had he not been bested by Skip Sarkisian for the Retake Montlake Championship.

    That being said, had he won that game its possible we would still be with Skip and he would not have wanted this job.

    Yep. It's a splash hire. Woody needed to prove he could make one. Perception matters and the perception outside of this place is that this was a no doubter home run. Seems the perception inside this place, and this includes me, is that it was a double down the line that scored guys from first and third and beat the Yanks. No World Series yet but there's a chance.

    Yep, Marinerization is alive and well!

    19 minutes into the poll, the yes votes outnumber the no votes 26-0.

    And Grinolds said we would be miserable and bitter no matter who the coach was...

    There was one vote for the field.

    From a noob perspective - this seems like a good hire. Before A&M picked up Sumlin the Aggie fan-base thought he would be great there. He qualifies as a "splash" hire given all the other jobs he's passed up. I'm eager to see how he will fare in stiffer competition. Giggity.

    Yes, I am satisified but I passed up on the absolutely moniker because that would require a Saban-eqsue hire. CCCP is a second tier hire in my eyes, but still above an acceptable threshold. I think he is someone who has a decent shot at being able to get the job done.

    UW is finally equipped. Just kidding, I'd rather have the good football here in the state. Especially after conversing with that fag PDXduck. Apple cups might actually mean some shit again.

    I really like the hire, probably the best move Woodward could have made. But, I expect to see results, and until that happens, I'm still in somewhat of a LIPO mode.

    Props to Woodward though, he got it done and hired a big time coach. Between getting the stadium and facilities upgrade, and now this hire, he deserves a lot of respect from Husky Nation.

    I agree, if Peteresen can't win anything substantial in 2 years then Door.Ass.Out. But I have a good feeling about Petersen, he has everything you want on a track record. BCS bowl wins (2 for 2, should have been in a 3rd), great conference record (yea shitty conference but he also didn't have amazing recruits), and the ability to beat big teams on the road.

    He consistently gets 2/3 star recruits into the NFL. Imagine what he could do with constant 4 star recruits with a 5 star sprinkled in every now and then.

    His recruiting is the biggest ??? but with his credentials and the new stadium/facilities he shouldn't have any issues. Especially if Tosh is still around.

    Chris is walking into a better situation than the first 2 guys. So we should expect to win.

    I'd rather have had a hire who proved himself at 2 different schools first. Urban Meyer...Bryan Kelly are 2 recent examples of what I'm talking about.

    I think it will be nice to see a well coached team for once. We haven't had that in decades. Even under Slick Rick the team was more like Carroll's Seahawks where you have sloppy penalties.

    If Petersen goes 7-6 or 8-5 next year I'll turn on him quickly.

    I think with our schedule I could see a 10-3 or 11-2 type of regular season.

    I think this hire just laughs at the Doogs who always said to us "Well if you fire Sark who is going to come here?! WHO?!!"
