Petersen is one of the better coaches in the nation. He's top 10 at the very least, and he's a proven commodity. All this while playing with a severely limited hand.

There's no assurance that he could come in and make a seamless transition, but that applies for pretty much any hire. However based on his track record, he's as good a good a bet as any to come in and get it done.

And it's not at all hard for me to understood. You've simply failed to properly convey your argument, which in my opinion, is flawed.

he's not a proven commodity. he has not proven he can win when his team has to focus week in and week out. it's the bottom 9 of bsu's schedule that invalidates this argument. not the top 3. meyer and saban have to get their team up for every game. peterson does not. to argue it's not a different way of coaching is ridiculous.

Florida should be targeting those ex-NFL guys. I don't know many who wouldn't take it, it is arguably the best job in college. Great university, tied for most national championships and (I think) tied for the top one or two winningest programs in the last 20 years, multiple Heisman trophies and NFL players, and only a couple of other schools are in as advantageous of a recruiting position. There's no reason they shouldn't be finishing the regular season in Atlanta at least half the time.

Miami may have them beat in titles. Definitely last 25 years.

He's 54-4 with two BCS wins. He's a proven commodity.

Where did Meyer coach at before Florida?

The MWC, a conference significantly better than the WAC. Also, Meyer built his own program.

Meyer was at Utah for two seasons. I wouldn't necessarily call that "building his own program".

Furthermore, Utah's schedule were no more or less difficult than Boise's have been over the last few seasons.

To steal a bit from Jim Rome, the Miami Hurricanes are not a dominant team. The U is. However it's pretty apparent that the school has no interest in bringing The U back with Shannon at the helm. Their next guy will also likely be a guy who's main interest is to maintain a clean program.

Your right. He won right away, despite the fact that Utah was nothing before. The second part of your post is crap.

Sad, too. The U was fun.

Look at the schedules yourself. The best teams Utah played in 03? An Oregon squad that finished 8-5, and a Cal team that finished 8-6. The rest of their schedule was no more prolific than Boise's have been. In 09 for example, the best teams Boise played were an Oregon team that finished 10-3 and went on to the Rose Bowl, and #4 TCU.

once again you focus on the best teams. it's the quality of the bad teams on the schedule that seperates boise from a real bcs contendor.

In comparison to whom on Utah's schedule? (both schedules suck, but I find it odd people are trying to argue Utah's schedule is so much better)
