Washington to hire Chris Peterson

[golfballs]

Washington Huskies to hire Chris Petersen of Boise State Broncos - ESPN

See ya Sark. Upgrade for UW, IMO. USC fans should be scratching their heads...

 

[SDV]

Does he have ties there? Weird that he would choose them over USC

 

[SOUTHGAVOL]

To University of Washington.............. good for SEC or was he scared of the SEC? He could've had any job he wanted a few years ago. Thoughts?

 

[bigslk]

Washington may just be his dream school.......:good!:

Why would this be good for the SEC?

Wilcox to Boise as HC?

 

[Cartervol]

Who cares. Enjoy that rainy weather Chris..

Much like if Saban was hired to go outside of the SEC. Just a question.

This is like if Shocka Smart finally decided to leave for Virginia Tech.

LOL USC.

Good move by Petersen. Guy hates being in the spotlight so USC/Texas wouldn't work for him. This allows him to go to a school that's under the radar but has a solid foundation and is historically successful. What a hire by UW.

I'm pretty sure seattle rains more than any other city in the US

Well that's just your opinion, man........

That would be in Hawaii. Oregon gets more rain than Washington, too.

Great hire by Washington, upgrade over Sark as strange as that is.

Top 101 cities with the highest average yearly precipitation (population 50,000+)

Enumclaw Plateau, WA. #1 on this list.

Pretty close to Seattle, and pretty damn wet, IYAM.

Knoxville comes in at #100.

Best explanation I can think of is that he's not going to have to move too far, or that he finally decided that he was ready for the big leagues.

Washington has a legitimate argument now that they've got the best coach in the Pac-12.

This - it makes sense to me that he would take this job. He's always struck me as someone that values the "right fit" and I'm guessing Washington fits the bill.

Wow

Not really considering he's from Cali

Petersen is a California native who has also worked in Idaho and Oregon and recruited all those states as well as Washington.

Not really considering he's from Cali

exactly my point of USC

odd, he chose Washington, over all the other schools he's been linked to over the last couple of years

Isn't he from Sacramento? Very different than LA.....

Thinking the same. A cultural fit like Mark Few at Gonzaga. He likes the Pac NW
