It is speculation but given how this seemingly comes out of no where, it's what my first thought was when I heard about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utenation Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I’m reading there are no health concerns. Just tired of the BS with coaching and wants to recharge. This is a loss for CFB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysfit Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Only thing I'm seeing is he is just worn out and needs to recharge. Smart enough, self aware enough and in a position to take care of himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack 12 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Word is that he just wants to recharge, and by January he'll be ready to sign with the Trojans. 🙂 Also, he hates the rain. Fun fact: The last Defensive Coordinator to be promoted to head coach at Washington? Jim Lambright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row Z Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 I have heard Brock Huard say that he did not see Petersen coaching any longer than 5 years, and that he thought it could be less. He has other interests and does not view himself as a coaching-lifer. Apparently, he views himself more as an educator. I am hoping that Petersen is stepping away based only on his personal preference, and that this was not caused by something else (fans, AD, health etc.). Husky fans owe Petersen a huge debt of gratitude. You really can't ask for more in terms of a person of intelligence, integrity, class, mentoring this players, and keeping college athletics in perspective. We hit the lottery when he came to UW.

mysfit Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I know he feels strongly about mentoring young men off the field. Perhaps that's what he wants to pursue in his advisory role. Shaping young men without the pressure of competing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row Z Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 I have wondered if there might have been something in the locker room that would explain the UW performance at Stanford. It was such a giant turd, and the team was so completely lacking in energy or fight, it was weird. Just speculating here, but I wonder if players maybe caught wind of a transition in the works. That would be the kind of news that could deflate a locker room, Also, it has been rumored for a while that Jimmy Lake was going to be the successor. I think that is how they kept him around. He apparently turned down the Colorado job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row Z Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Another thought: Petersen would be a fantastic AD. We already have a fantastic AD at UW, but if I was a University with a vacancy in that spot in a year or so, I would try hard to get Petersen to consider that role.

But, Jimmy Lake is viewed as the best recruiter on the staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
