    Absolutely yes
    The only wholes to fill are the lines which are in terrible shape.

    BCS game in three years is acceptable. As the groupies here say, "Anything less ass out."

    Yes, but there's a limit to my patience
    I didn't know he was 92 and 12. That's very impressive no matter the level. He needs to have some 7-2, 8-1 type seasons in the first two yrs. though.

    He almost beat DeRuyter as Fresno this year with probably his shittiest team while at BSU. Sark would have won 3 or 4 games in that conference with that team it was so awful.

    The Sark plunger makes me a little nervous but Steve knew he had to win that game. First game brand new stadium, have a defense advantage with Wilcox knowing Petersen inside and out, against one of their worst teams in a long time.

    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.

    There is very little comparison to those other coaches. The best Boise did was finish 13 in SRS (pre- CP). CP finished #13 or better in 5 of his first 6 seasons. CP was way better than those guys at Boise. Those other guys rated fairly mediocre upon closer look.

    Completely agree. Their resume aren't even remotely close to Petersens who has shown results on the national stage. He is the only one of that group that shows he could be lethal with the resources of a big time program.

    He could end up being another flop in the BSU line but I feel good about our chances just watching random Boise State games throughout the years. He is a proven offensive mind.

    I think the Koetter Hawkins comparison is unfair. Over his time Petersen accomplished much more than either of them and was really the brains behind hawkins

    THIS. From my understanding he was the Chip Kelly running the show and they were riding his coat tails.

    Time will tell if that is true. I think Petersen just like that is arguably the best coach in our division(him or Shaw). While with Sark he was in the Riley/Leach tier and probably below Sling Blade.

    We could have resurrected Gil Dobie and there would be a limit to my patience. Any coach would have to produce.

    But this was a fantastic hire for UW.
