Fulmer needs to have Vito Corleone and Luca Brasi with him when he puts the 10 million dollar contract under Peterson's nose.

Peterson made the CFP final 4 last year. It's not like he's hurting to have opportunties at championships at Washington and the PAC12. And his ties to the area. Maybe he's interested in a move. Maybe not. If he's not, money won't matter much. Either way CPF is going thru the correct process to get hte job done. He is contacting coaches, feeling them out for interest, fit, and ability. From this first round of talks with several candidates, he will make a short list, 2 or 3, have offers ready for each, and begin the selection process. He's doing it right regardless of who gets offered and accepts based on interest on both sides.

Petersen makes 4.8 a year and his record is 129-28 he only lost 12 Games at Boise state he was freaking 92-12 at Boise state he had a 13-0 season and a 14-0 season . He had 3 12-1 seasons . At Washington he went 8-6 7-6 12-2 and 10-2 this year. 129-28 .. the only thing is he is a offense coach thought Fulmer wanted a defensive coach with sec experience but if Fulmer can get him 7 million a year will maybe get him

I saw a comparison on this earlier when he was mentioned last month. 4.8 million dollars in Seattle is the equivalent of 6.8 million in Knoxville due to taxes and very high cost of living. He'd get a 2 million dollar raise in buying/saving power if we offered him the same salary. If we offered him 6.5 that'd be like 9-10 million at Washington.
 
Petersen’s buyout is $30.6 million. Can we even touch that? Or is there some way around that kinda flow.

We could afford that easily. No offense to you, but this whole worry about money is insane. We are one of the top revenue producing schools. We have tons of money, especially with the boosters reportedly ready to open their wallets.

30 million is pennies for a home run hire.
 
It's 30.5m if they fire him. If he chooses to leave, it's 1.5m SOOOOOOOOOO many people have read this incorrectly.

Correct - just read his contract extension from April 2017. He is in his 5th contract year. He can terminate the contract upon notice to UW. Should he do so, he owes $1.5M in liquidated damages that can be paid to UW out of any funds that UW currently owes him.

I think Peterson is the best hire UT could make. With Vol level talent He is one man I really believe could beat Saben and bring a title back to UT.
Everyone else mentioned I always thought they may win never thought once of titles
 
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?

This right, he has already made it known that he thinks UW gets no respect or help because they play so late at night when it comes to eastern time.

He wants his team to have national respect and exposure, and with the SEC getting two in if you can't pull him now, you'll never be able to

Most of Peterson's staff came with him from Boise State. They have worked together for a long time and are one of, if not the best coaching staffs in the country. If you can get him, let it rip!
