My first thought too. I read where another poster commented that he despises the media limelight. Seems more credible with this move. He'll obviously get less microphones in his face at Washington than he would at USC.

Pat Haden is coming out of this deal with egg in his face. How do you whiff on Petersen and hire Sark only to see Petersen take Sark's old job.

Just the other day he told a recruit that he wasn't going anywhere. I'm sure that kid is elated this morning.

Nothing against UW, I'm just sort of surprised he turned down the big jobs he did over the years just to end up at a 2nd tier Pac-12 school that's 2nd fiddle in its own city. To each his own I guess...

i think it's clear he doesn't want a "big" job. just his personality i guess

UW is historically the premier program in the PNW. Only recently has oregon really taken over. But UW has a better in-state recruiting base and still hits Cali hard for recruits. They can offer a top notch education and the chance to live in Seattle which beats Eugene every day of the week.


Just quoting so I can link bags03 to this later in case he misses it.

I suspect this is the OMG rumor Colin was talking abou


Actually, no. It was Saban to UT.

One of his usual sources, who he says has been very accurate, called him and told him that Saban was headed to UT. Colin said he spent 90 minutes trying to get two other sources to confirm it, but he couldn't.

So UW loses their coach to USC yet ends up with a better coach?

Well done Trojans. Well done.

Maybe one of the smartest coaches ever. He goes to a safe job where average gets a raise. Guy has no guts to go to a big program tho.

I don't really agree. Haden cannot put a gun to Petersen's head and force him to USC against his will. It's well known that Petersen hates the limelight. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that he's not a good fit in Los Angeles. He's a better fit at UW. So I'm not really sure what Haden should have done.

I think Sark was a solid and safe hire. Both programs upgraded.
