re: Petersen to Udub per Schad

People keep saying he can "do better"...
He doesn't want to "do better". He has other things at the top of his list than "elite program" or big time money.
Maybe he likes the fit. Maybe he gives a shite about his family.
Sometimes, other things matter more. And clearly that is the case with CP. I commend him for it.

Was a matter of time before he left.
He took Boise State as far as it could go, and it was clear that the best days were behind them. Starting to have 3 loss seasons, he hit a glass ceiling. Can't blame him for leaving, probably tired of having to go unbeaten or instead having to play in the Las Vegas Bowl.
Unlike TCU or Utah, no bigger conference is going to come calling.

Yeah, that struck me as odd too, but maybe Peterson is one of those guys who's not exactly seeking the limelight and overwhelming media exposure.
If that's the case, this is a bit more understandable given the jobs he's turned down. USC is the NFL team of the second biggest media market in the country, while Washington is a second tier Pac-12 program that is second fiddle in football in its own city. Plus, it's a laid back part of the country, and it's hardly the meat grinder of the SEC. Heck, Sark couldn't muster 7 wins in a season until this year and was beloved.

Udub is a sleeping giant in the PAC. This is a great move for Petersen and UW.
Petersen's moving out of Boise now makes sense. The illusion that Boise State would ever get into a BCS conference is all but dead.

USC fans on 247 are saying Haden wanted Sarkisian over Peterson because Sarkisian had a better interview
Shite like this should get an AD canned, and we hear this all the time from AD's and NFL GMs -- "sure he hasn't proven anything BUT DURRR HE KNOCKED THEIR SOCKS OFF IN THE INTERVIEW!"
Maybe I'm just jaded because this is THE reason why we hired Nutt over Tuberville in 1997. Our search committee didn't like Tuberville because he was brief and just pointed to his record and experience (you know, stuff that like...matters) and Nutt comes in with fanfare farting rainbows about energizing fans and winning National Championships and how he grew up a Hog fan.

Hudspeth to Boise.
Isn't that a lateral move, though?
Hudspeth should be getting more attention that he already is, and one more good season in Lafayette and he'll have a big job. I would have been very happy with him as our hire last year if all our big names fell through.

Very true.
I remember a year or two ago when several top programs were coming after him, some Boise media guy who's actually really close to him tweeted something like "listen, when/if Chris Peterson leaves Boise it'll be about fit, not money or anything else." UDub is about as good a fit as any for a guy who had a tough time leaving Boise, Idaho.
Also read/saw/heard somewhere that he likes to be a family man and involved in his kids' lives, and isn't exactly the kind who is looking for a meat grinder job or 100 hour workweeks.

He better make some good money. Surprised he hasn't taken an SEC or big name school job.

quote:This fits into my theory that USC never sought after a big name coach. They released that Saban and Peterson turned them down, but I just don't buy it. I think they made a bad coaching hire, people started complaining, then they started making up stuff about big name coaches turning them down.
So he withdraws his name from USC but takes the Wash job? Weird
Man, USC is so stupid.

I'm in the minority here, but I think USC did a better job here than UW. Hindsight will be 20/20, but the past 2 years have proven that Boise was just a flash in the pan.
Dan Hawkins, and Dirk Koetter were both highly successful coaches at Boise only to prove they couldn't truly handle running a big time program. Koetter wasn't a complete failure at ASU, but he certainly didn't elevate that team to the next level.
Sark turned around a program that went 0-12 the year before he got there and has sent UW to 4 straight bowl games. I am of the mindset that he can return USC to prominence once the sanctions finish running their course.

Wouldn't be shocked if udub competed for PAC 12 north or won it next year

Those are the epitome of an SEC job.

I remember when everyone went ape shite at Colorado and the sports world when they landed Dan Hawkins.
Lets see how this plays out before annointing UW. Boise is a weird different place with try-hard blue collar players who need no motivation.
Boise coaches have never handled prima donnas at big schools - well.
This ain't intramurals brother!

The man went 92-12. 92-12. The last two years they went 11-2 and 8-4, it's not like they had losing seasons.

That has nothing to do with Chris Petersen.

Then you don't understand Boise.

i read somewhere (don't know if it's true) his daughter goes to therapy close to UDUB and that was a huge deciding factor

Hawkins won over 80% of his games at Boise, and look how that turned out for Colorado.
You don't think there are at least 20-30 coaches (maybe even more than that) that could have gone 19-6 at Boise in the past two seasons?
If the media and fans are going to equate Sark with Kiffin because they were on Carroll's staff at USC, then it's only fair to compare Petersen to former Boise coaches.

How other coaches did after leaving Boise is completely irrelevant.
