As OC for Bosie ST under Dan Hawkins for five years, I would say that its Peterson players and system. When Dan Hawkins went to Colorado, Peterson took over and how is that turned out?
I think Chris Peterson would be perfect for the Orange. Look at what he has done and is doing for Boise St. with less talent. The offense is never boring and the defense don't know what is coming at them. Think of the possibilities. Damn, I want CHRIS..........
I agree I would love to see Petersen in Neyland. How do you figure he can not cut it in the SEC? I am sure you did not think Urban could either
Are you guys kidding me...... That's the same thing they said about Urban Meyer and he has been kicking our buts ever since......
Meyer just didn't start having success at Utah. He was an assistant for 13 years, then took over a 2-9 Bowling Green team, and went 17-6 in two years. Then was hired by Utah, 5-6 record the year before Meyer. He went 22-2 at Utah, and won a BCS Bowl.
Chris Petersen took over a Boise State team that won 4 straight conference championships, & went 45-7 the past 4 seasons. Yes, he deserves credit for being the offensive coordinator, but Dan Hawkins should get alot of credit for Boise State's success.
I cannot understand why posters on this board would perfer someone like Kiffen over Chris Petersen. Chris Petersen is 33-3 over the last 3 seasons. He is undefeated this season with a freshman QB. WE can't get a win with ANY QB. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!
I think we want something bigger and better but if it comes down to Kelly I would pick Peterson a hundred times over Kelly.
Why is that? All Peterson has done is maintain success. He has never had to build it. I'm not saying he couldn't but he has done no where near what Kelly has done. Don't give me 33-3 he plays in the freakin WAC. Besides he hasn't signed any 4* recruits this year. Remember chewwy you said you can't get it done at UT if you can't recruit. I hope you're not going back on that now.
