If he can pull Petersen, I’d be a happy man.

 

[UT Hill Man]

Now that we have a good guy running the search we have a real shot at Petersen.

 

[VolArmy74]

So you're test driving a Ferrari and an Oldsmobile. Seems like you interview Peterson, offer him anything he wants to make it happen and don't talk to anyone else, period.

 

[BigpapaBleedsOrange]

Dear sweet 6lb baby Jesus, please bring Petersen

 

[vol66]

Chris Petersen! This is a great time to pose the question to him, we (SEC) have two teams in the CFP and the PAC has zero, do you have to go undefeated in the PAC just to get a whiff from the selection committee?

 

[Jonboy]

If he can pull Petersen, I’d be a happy man.

Would be one of the greatest comebacks of all-time...going from an AD/Coach combo of Currie/Schiano to Fulmer/Petersen.

 

[fourcat]

I wouldn't believe Petersen actually has a sit down with Phil until it's happened and confirmed by both sides, because I don't think he'd bother going through the trouble of taking the interview unless there was some chance of an offer and acceptance. With that said, if Petersen was even open to an offer, that's a guy you give your $10m/yr to, that would instantly put UT back in the top tier.

 

[jpope9]

pay Peterson 8 million atleast and make him say no.

 

[ATPVol]

Don’t need to interview Petersen...just put the large contract in his face and make him sign.

Plus he hates playing west coast where the games are too late for anybody to pay attention.

 

[ButchPlz]

Petersen plz

 

[SeniorDrill]

Just saying! Can you imagine the screaming in Neyland? Hyde: Lane Kiffin delivers big wins (and big laughs) at FAU — but will he stay? | Commentary - Sun Sentinel

 

[TNHopeful505]

Petersen has been the best name
So far. He took Boise State to a BCS and WON. BOISE STATE

 

[Jax_Vol]

If Phil hires Peterson, I will go over to Johnny's house and drink him under the table.

 

[vol66]

99.9 % of the fanbase would back this.

 

[AllVol68]

Coach Phulmer is actually trying to get the best coach possible unlike that other joke of a AD we had

 

[VOLnMiami]

Oh lord everybody is gonna freak out now that he said he will interview Petersen...We have a better chance of seeing a living dinosaur than landing Petersen...He is a west coast guy with ties to the place...He's not coming to UT..He WILL however get a nice raise due to the interest of UT...Good for him he deserves it.

Unfortunately Kiffin isn't an option here

 

[rynrem]

Pulling Petersen usually makes for happy....nevermind I'll stop

 

[hog88]

If he can pull Petersen, I’d be a happy man.

Oh yeah. I'd take back everything negative that I've ever said about him.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

While Phil is in Washington, perhaps he could stop by Pullman. Just saying...

 

[TnAngler]

If he can pull Petersen, I’d be a happy man.

If Phil can pull this off, he is GREAT!! Great player, great coach and now great AD! He truly is THE VFL!!

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Oh yeah. I'd take back everything negative that I've ever said about him.

I wouldn’t go that far.

well he would def have the attention he wants smack in the middle of the SEC with the group of coaches he'll be going against.
