Not sure I fit around here anymore...

Why are people excited?

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

DJ followed by Lambo followed by Neu followed by Gilby followed by Ty followed by Sark.

Petersen, at least on paper, is the best coach we've had since DJ.

Remember when DJ got here, one concern was he couldn't recruit good enough players but he sure could develop them. And as the team got better, so did the recruits.

Petersen to UW from Boise State > Don James from Kent State.

I realize different eras, but I am drinking to the prospect that Petersen excels as the next, real HC at UW.
 
Unlucky for you that Petersen isn't from Houston. You could change your handle to HoustonDoog and stick around to rub our noses in sark when Petersen fails, which as a former BSU coach he is sure to do. Too bad for doogs that UW couldn't have hired a new head football coach from such an obscure, unknown place as Kent State....... or Houston CC.
 
Do you honestly think that if Petersen goes 7-6 or 8-5 each year and starts loading up on 2* talent, that we're going to keep doogin' it up? No! We will be calling for his head on a platter. Our patience may even wear out after two years, given the preposterously easy schedule.

The man at the podium of that press conference looked happy and ready to take on a challenge. I did not see Charles Grodin up there wearily fielding questions.

College Doog summed it up perfectly- UW showed that it really wants to win and will take steps to get there. If Petersen doesn't work out, then the days of rationalizing mediocrity are over. Bring on the next coach! (Speaking of which, what's the buyout on Mora's contract in 2016?)

Pretty fun to look back at people's concerns about Petersen soon after he was hired, especially related to his recruiting and assistant coaches.

Why? Are we now celebrating off season natties again?

I'm a numbers guy...don't regret my concerns one bit. Still have them. Hawkins and Koetter were both pretty sh!tty hires and they came from the same place with the same rep. Some numbers guy wrote an entire article on this a few days ago:

grantland.com/the-triangle/chris-petersen-washington-huskies-boise-state-broncos-coaching-success/

That being said, so far Peterman looks like he's got his sh!t together and has been doing the right things. I'm hopeful, but I'll wait on going full doog until a couple 10+ win seasons or so.

Have you seen the list of Bryant award winners? Can't say that is the list of who's who in coaching...just as much bad as good in that list. The list since James won it in 1991:

1991 Don James Washington
1992 Gene Stallings Alabama
1993 Terry Bowden Auburn
1994 Rich Brooks Oregon
1995 Gary Barnett Northwestern
1996 Bruce Snyder Arizona State
1997 Lloyd Carr Michigan
1998 Bill Snyder Kansas State
1999 Frank Beamer Virginia Tech
2000 Bob Stoops Oklahoma
2001 Larry Coker Miami (FL)
2002 Jim Tressel Ohio State
2003 Nick Saban LSU
2004 Tommy Tuberville Auburn
2005 Mack Brown Texas
2006 Chris Petersen Boise State
2007 Mark Mangino Kansas
2008 Kyle Whittingham Utah
2009 Chris Petersen Boise State
2010 Gene Chizik Auburn
2011 Mike Gundy Oklahoma State
2012 Bill O'Brien Penn State
2013 Gus Malzahn Auburn

Being sandwiched around Tuberville, Mack, Mangino, Whittingham, and Chizik doesn't give me warm fuzzies. And as the article pointed out, Hawkins had just as much name recognition as Peterman has when he came here.

Hey, I've liked a lot what Peterman has done since hired, but if you think we are guaranteed success and Rose Bowels in the next couple years just because we hired a successful BSU coach...well, more power to you. Hope it happens.

IT's amazing how coaching awards don't really mean shit. Many dreck coaches have won that award since 1991.
 
You could the same argument if we hired Saban. Will he recruit like he did at Michigan state where he was average since we're not down south where big line talent falls off trees like ripe fruit? Are we all going to die? Everyone here is in wait and see mode. But it was a great hire. Don't be afraid of success. It could happen. None of us know shit one weekinto his time hehere

Good take. Glad I didn't embarrass myself in this thread like @HoustonHusky
 
@Passion : Looks like it is time for you to start jumping up and down and screaming like a little girl

I hope it works out, and I think the chances are >50% that it will. But I'm also not completely doogin' in my pants. Recruit and develop great players and get us to the pac-12 championship game. Then I'll jump and scream like an 8 year-old girl.
