re: Liklehood of Chris Petersen coming out of retirement?

Sorry buddy, it's true.

1. He's never been east of the Rocky Mountains.

2. He has pretty much said bluntly that he doesn't want to coach anymore.

3. He loathes recruiting. It's a 24/7 gig with recruiting at LSU and in the SEC. You've got to be cutthroat to do it, he's not.

He would have already been announced.

means jack shite about his coaching ability

It does when discussing things like recruiting and the like.

well then he won't be anywhere. you claimed he would be a bad fit HERE as if he wants to coach and we have hired him. if he is not coaching anymore HOW WOULD HE fit anywhere?

---

If he was still wanting to coach and came here, yes, he would be a terrible fit. He would not be a bad fit at institutions that are not as expectant as LSU is when it comes to football. I'm not saying he'd be a bad fit elsewhere; but here, it would not be a good fit. He'd be like Harsin at Auburn.

so that stopped him from it at other stops? GTFO

No, but let's look at his other stops. Washington, PAC-12, not as competitive a conference. Not as serious on recruiting in that conference either. Much less talent in that conference. Boise St. see my Washington comments.

Fact of the matter is, you can go further on coaching ability when the talent level you're playing against is not good. In the SEC, you have to be able to coach AND recruit your arse off if you want to be a great program. I'm sorry that you can't get that, but it's not a hard concept.

You simply have to recruit at an elite level if you want to win anything in today's college football landscape; and he hardly even recruits at a good level.

I simply think UW isn’t an easy school to recruit

I'll grant you that. But everything I've ever read about him, or heard on various shows from people that follow recruiting big time, every time his name is brought up regarding recruiting, the same thing is said about him. And it's that he doesn't like recruiting, doesn't want to put a premium on recruiting. You simply MUST put a massive amount of time and effort into recruiting if you want to compete in the SEC.
