dtd Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 If they keep Kwiatkowski all should be well. I bet Lake will recruit better, and if he has the stones to ditch Hamdan, they've got a chance to get better on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought late 40's. He started coaching in 1987.. He's put in his time.. Probably a dump truck full of money..55 probably feels like 70 in this business.. Most people work until their 60's because they have to.. He doesn't.. Chris seems like a very definitive guy.. He knows what's right for him. I'm guessing but he won't pull a Meyer and get back into coaching 3 or 4 times... Maybe the new role will be enough for his mind and the competitive juices.

row Z Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 3 hours ago, row Z said: 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, I can end my own speculation above with the tweet below. Sounds like the current players were just as shocked as everyone else. They did not see this coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row Z Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 I could also see Petersen as the next NCAA Commissioner, Pac12 Commissioner, or on the CFP Committee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win2bfree Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Surprised and not surprised at the same time. Jimmy Lake not leaving gave me the feeling that something was up. Didn't think it would be up now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mano Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Still shocking that Petersen is stepping down, he was an elite coach not only for this conference but nationally. Hope that it is just a life balance choice and not because of a health issue of his or his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysfit Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Been saying for years he's not like other coaches. His motivation and goals are different than a Saban or Kelly. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utefan1211 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 This is a huge loss. ESPN reporting that he was fed up with the stress and was treated poorly by fans after bad losses. It’s what he signed up for. I’m certain he has enough $ to walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most significant difference between Saban and Petersen? Level of excellence and success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC MAN Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 This saga makes me think about Saban and why he's coaching for a long time. Perhaps Saban has a better delegation system in place and has been able to outlast Bob Stoops, Urban Meyer, and Petersen in this case. Money isn't necessarily a problem at those schools and those coaches could have had better coaches to take the pressure off them. This is an ongoing thing. When the Ol Ball Coach quit Florida to go coach in the NFL for the Redskins, he had a noble goal in mind and that was to prove the coaches didn't have to work as hard as they usually do. It didn't work out and working for Snyder the owner might have been a cause of failure. Maybe that is something Chip Kelly is trying to accomplish at UCLA. Just imagine yourself being in those shoes of college football coaches who rightfully are paid more than NFL coaches. Just think about the schedule they have to keep and having to oversee about 120 18-22 year old boys. At the same time given the money they are earning, there should be no tears she'd for those coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
