Chris Petersen steps down

I'm not sure his reasoning, but if I am USC or ANY school with a vacancy, I am calling him. Guy isnt a stud recruiter or flashy, but he is hands down one of the best pure coaches in college football.

I'm glad we have Pruitt but I always thought Petersen would have done really well here.

A guy like Petersen would do well anywhere.

If I were Arkansas,Ole Miss or Missouri I would give him a call

 

[TNHopeful505]

I have a feeling he will take time off.

 

[hUTch2002]

This is really weird. No whispers of issues from him or the school. No “health issues” like Meyer. It’s just weird.

Agree...pretty sure Washington’s his dream job.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Ole Miss,Arkansas and Missouri should quickly get in touch with him!

Moving into a "leadership advisory role"

He’s not taking a new job. He’s going to be out for awhile.

I know he has a son with health issues. I wouldn't be surprised if that didn't have something to do with it.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Says he's transitioning to a leadership advisory role for now. Maybe he's going to transition to the NFL or he's making moves for USC. Really strange...

Wasn't this discussed when we were looking for a coach? Isn't there a special clinic or something out there his family has to be close to?

 

[zjcvols]

Something to consider with Urban and Stoops recently stepping down.

How much money these guys make and how grueling college football is. You can so much money now and end up retiring early.

Son is enrolled at UW now and he's been healthy for a while. Unless it's returned I don't think that's the reason.

Jacob Eason has no heart. The kid transferring to Fresno State and all, has taken a toll.

I'm sure Peterson is burnt out.

 

[VolinMichigan]

Surprising to say the least. Taking UW to the CFP is not an easy thing to do.

This off season's coaching searches are going to be interesting to watch.

I'm sure having a sick child at home isn't helping matters either

 

[TennesseeFan07]

He's a different type of breed. He is family-oriented and doesn't revolve his life around football. I would say one of the most under the radar coaches in recent memory.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

He was one of my Top coaches during our last coaching search.

Great recruiter and motivator.

Haven't heard that.

Good for him and hopefully its not related.
