So burned out he works for Fox in LA .... is this all falling together for the guy that should had the job instead of stupid slob Suck. F Haden and his sham interview, CP knew during the interview they were hiring that fat F Suck. F Haden again
Fickell.......and there is no second. He's a more accomplished player and coach than Cristobal (who is a great coach who is now on a bigger stage in the PAC12). Cristobal vs Fickell duels (games & recruiting) would be epic.
Augie, I live in Boise, I've seen Petersen with the media, he's not warm and fuzzy and he's not a guy who fits LA at all. Plus, why d you want to hire a guy who basically quit his last job ? Burn out ? If he burned out at UDUB he'll never be able to handle USC.
@August West Hey, Augie--admittedly it's our age-old squabble, but is Petersen really that fantastic of a coach? A good coach, I'll buy. But "fantastic"???
Sure, he was lights out at Boise State, but most coaches there are. Winning percentages: Koetter was .722, Hawkins .828, Petersen .885, Harsin .784.
Absolutely, he won some major bowls at BSU. But he went 2-4 in bowl games at Washington, losing 3 major bowls they were in and winning only the Heart of Dallas and Vegas bowls.
Yes, he led the Huskies to a playoff berth, but so did Mark Helfrich at Oregon (and at least Helf won his bowl...and that vs a 27-0 FSU team going back 2 seasons).
Heck, Petersen was 2-4 vs Oregon during the worst stretch in the 2000s of Oregon football.
@Java disagree on the LA thing. Just because he’s quiet and reserved doesn’t mean he can’t handle himself. He’s been a HC in D1, the ego that requires eliminates any possibility of being bullied by amateurs like Plashke, Simers and Wolf.
Thought Petersen already interviewed for the USC job a while back and it was not a fit for him (and for SC). And that was before Mario pushed him outta Montlake. 🤣
No matter, sounds like he's happy where he is and not looking to get back in the game.
I mostly agree.
Petersen
Franklin
Fickell (there are better alternatives here)

Neither guy is the guy IMHO. Franklin brings baggage and Peterson is burned out and not a big city guy...I would not consider either one.
Petersen. And it’s not even close.
