Grand slam hire for Washington. And with Cano headed to Seattle, not a bad day for Washington peeps.

If beating Nevada, New Mexico, and San Jose State are where y'all set your bar, you should have kept Dooley.

Peterson steps in to a conference where Stanford, Oregon, ASU, UCLA, and SC are all better. He's never faced a conference in which he's had more than one legit contender for the conference championship.

Then take a look at his own division leaders, Stanford and Oregon. When you think of the PAC12 currently, which two schools could you blindly name the potential conference favorite?

Now consider the demand for OOC scheduling. What program "on par" with Washington currently can they agree to a home and home with that they dont risk utter humiliation?

Your head coach was hired from a Conference USA program. Please do tell why his hiring makes sense, but UW hiring Petersen doesn't?

So Stanford and Oregon being good at football makes Petersen a bad coach and this a bad hire?

Aight.

I don't think anyone is expecting him to step in and compete for a conference title in year one (although I've seen one or two Washington fans around the interwebz thinking they could have a shot for it), but he's got as good of a shot as anyone does to build the Huskies up to be able to compete for one in 2-3 years. Sark actually left some pretty nice talent for him, and Washington was actually competitive with a lot of the programs you've just mentioned.

Didnt say that, but more or less was implying that they didnt aquire a conference contender coach. What's the point if you're not chasing conference championships?

I don't see how Petersen is a gimmick;

92-12 with two BCS bowl victories and 7 10+ win seasons. Plus he has beaten teams such as Oklahoma, Oregon (x2), TCU, VT, and Georgia. If he is a gimmick by god I'd take that sort of production in Knoxville any day.

He may very well turn out to be a thorn in the sides of those other programs in the very near future, but I still believe this step up on competition week after week will allow for some of the mystique to fade away. Other programs close to him can reload much quicker.

What should they have done? Who would have been a better hire?

He was offered the UCLA job a couple of years ago and turned it down but not sure how much he was offered. I didn't think he would ever leave Boise. That was a great career move,IMO. Good for him and his family!:good!:

You'd take my coach in a heart beat and promptly "bUTchslap" your current guy out the door without even packing his bags or painting a rock.

Again, you're not making sense. You're just saying things.

Whose available? I honestly have not even bothered to look at the carousel this year.

Who is at the end of a contract year?

You tell me, man. You're the one knocking the hire like its a joke and a mistake.

Other mentions were of Alabama's o coordinator.

No, I'm saying that your attempt to discredit my coach by degrading where he was previously, is silly considering how you, and many others around the country not more than 5 weeks ago were falling all over themselves at the thought he might could be lured away from College Station.

Sumlin to SC
Sumlin to the Texans
Sumlin to Dallas
Sumlin to Austin

If he sucks so bad and since he coached at Cougar High, why the speculation of grandeur beyond Aggieland?

YOU are attempting to discredit a coach based on where they were previously.

Lol are you high or somethin man?

Sumlin is a good coach. He'll be good wherever he goes next, too.
