Chris Petersen thread (merged)

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Butch Jones really wanted to coach in the SEC....was he worth having as we sit here in the 4-win mess we’re currently in?

Not at all what I was saying and you know that

Peterson would be a bad cultural fit in East Tennessee. His wife will never go for it.

Other than being a college football coach, only thing he has in common with us is ESPN hates him.

Wow, what an incredibly lazy response and short-sighted way of thinking.

Youre not seriously saying you think Jones is a better coach than Fuente, are you?

It was accurate when comparing Butch and Dooley.

Believe it or not, this same argument has been used against Butch by saying he lost to Dooley.

Go read that Washington State message board thread someone posted earlier. Guy seemed to think Petersen was a much better cultural fit in red state Boise than he is in liberal Seattle (and ultra-liberal UW). Was talking about Petersen jumping to Nebraska. I have no idea about him, but apparently the idea that he’s “a Seattle guy” isn’t a given.

And you know this how? Do you know his wife personally? Have you ever been to the bright lights of Boise, Idaho before?

I believe it, saw it many times. It was stupid all those times too.

Yup

Washington doesn't have an income tax either.

Those morons get closer every year. I lived there for 30 years and it was fantastic. However, they’ll vote themselves one soon enough.

I would be so happy, it wouldn't be funny. I've pretty much given up on the Gruden hire, but Petersen would be a grand slam, out of the park hire. Would be so unexpected and make so many people mad over on the Northwest, but think about the exposure he'd get. Top notch facilities,everyone is always clamoring that the SEC is the best conference and we forget about the Pac-12 because of the lack of prettiness the conference brings. Obviously this is just a rumor, but I would be really happy.

You should have given up in the Gruden hire a long time ago, like as soon as it started

No it wasn't

 

[TJ1985]

I would love Petersen if we can't get Gruden.

Petersen > Gruden

 

[ajvol01]

No it wasn't

If you actually watched the game in 2011 , yes it was.

Butch's game management issues were obvious.

Went for 2 fourth down conversions and failed giving Tennessee huge swings in momentum.

Butch is a terrible gameday coach- Dooley was better on the sideline. And Dooley was bad on the sideline.

Petersen > Gruden

Maybe by themselves alone but Gruden’s entire staff would put Petersen’s to shame and would run circles around Petersen on the recruiting trail.

Therefore, Gruden > Petersen

They were both horrible. Ultimately you are what your record says you are and Jones > Dooley.

And you know this how exactly?

Dear God help us

A wash at best imo.

Dear God help us

Bless your heart

How does Gruden’s current staff stack up against Petersen’s current staff? That’s a decent starting point to compare.

Oh that’s right. He hasn’t had one in EIGHT DAMN YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!

I won't lie. Gruden would really get me pumped. However, he is a huge risk. Does he have the fire to out work and out recruit the elite coaches in college? I don't know. Does his style translate? Will coaching college guys be a difficult change compared to pros? All I'm getting at is he is a risk.

Petersen is a proven college coach. He gets it done. I'd be happy with either, but if I got to make the choice, it's Petersen every time.

 

[VOLSnTITANS]

It's Peterson....Nice choice.i wanted him back in 2010.hes a top 5 coach in the country, if not better.
