Dan Hawkins started something good, but he never had Boise competing against great teams the way Peterson has. This is what's impressive: Opening games last few years...

2009: Beat Oregon
2010: Beat Va Tech
2011: Beat Georgia

They open up with a huge game and deliver. When you give him time to prepare, his team is ready.

Who do they play for the rest of the season though? :crap2:

Can do: Nick Saban @ Michigan State

He doesn't start being a genius until he's got a team full of LSU players. Geez, Gary DiNardo put people in the NFL when he was at LSU. I'm always amazed that Saban is a coaching genius...who apparently never stunk up the field with the Dolphins.

The teams don't prepare several weeks for an opponent the first week. It's like any other week.

You are just a hater.


QUOTE=CA_Vol;5438572]Come on with this. This program has to prepare for 2 regular season games a year and one of them is always the first game of the season. This allows them to prepare for several weeks and gameplan appropriately and then play that dog of a schedule until maybe one other decent game. Then a bowl game with another 3-4 weeks of prep and they are donned a legit national contender program. ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THEY COMPETE AT THIS LEVEL WEEK IN, WEEK OUT IN THE SEC...PERIOD. He is a good coach with a great system qb and smart players who know their role. But most of it is scheduling smoke and mirrors...[/QUOTE]

If you honestly believe that schools don't prepare extra for a team opening week, then you have clearly never played ball in any sport. If it's some cupcake, no you don't. but if its a marquee game, you make sure you go over it. I can think of times in middle school even we would watch film or work out with our coaches yelling that the 1st team on our schedule would beat us, or show us game film of how "good they are" to make us work harder. It's how sports work.

I can't stand Boise. So annoying.

That said, they might actually be for real.

GA looked stupid. And I'm not just talking about their uni's.

You don't spend all summer preparing for one team. Im sure coaches may watch more
Film but mostly cuz they are not as familiar. Gameplans are put in that week.

I'm sick of hearing this argument. The school on the other side has just as much time to prepare for the game as Boise does. So how can you explain why Boise still wins every single time?

It's about enduring an SEC schedule and if you cannot understand that then I can't help you...

Wait, so 10 wins and the best season in 35 years at Michigan State isn't success? Petersen would dominate the NFL now? Someone's reaching...

If Boise was in the SEC, they'd recruit SEC athletes and still have great success. End. Of. Story.

Just like I'm sure athletes want to go to Arkansas to be cheered for by the most redneck fanbase in America in the middle of nowhere.

Boise is simply a fundamentally sound team in all phases. Do I think they do what they do every year if they play an SEC schedule, no because odds would say they can't. Does that mean Peterson isn't a hell of a coach, no. He's won too often not to be relevant as a top 5-10 coach.

And Arkansas is definitely having "great success" with their 0 SEC titles

10 wins last year and another great shot at 10 wins this year.

And when someone says "give them an SEC schedule and let's see how they do", I always think:

1. Leave your fantasy world, because it's never happening
2. Which SEC schedule? Georgia's pathetic one? Ours? Because they'd breeze through UGA's.
3. Petersen, in terms of SEC coaches, may only be beaten out by Saban. He'd do a solid job recruiting regardless of location. He's just that good of a coach.

Boise State is everything that's good about college football. A program built on hard work, dedication, and under the radar kids that were told they weren't big or fast enough. I like knowing this even more since Petersen is going to be there for a long time. With the program winning at the rate it is, and turning down jobs at USC, UCLA, Florida, Stanford, and others, he's building an unbelievable program.

Yeah, the pathetic academic standards and lack of competition probably doesn't have anything to do with it at all.

I'm not saying he's bad, but anyone thinking he's actually better than guys like Saban are living in a fantasy world.

It's not fantasy it's reality. He is a top 5 or so coach right now.

He's not bad, but what is the best team he has beaten? An Oklahoma team starting a wide receiver at quarterback?
