I was more thinking Harsin should come be our OC, and we keep Kwiatkowski, and you guys figure it out from there.
Only if Kellen Moore is behind door #2

I love how oregon fans bring up all the time how 0regon has owned Washington, yet they are cheering as the coach responsible for losing to 0regon has stepped down, so now there is uncertainty where as before yall had a good thing going.
Contradictory emotions in this thread
Up and comer coach. Has been given a few promotions to justify pay bumps to keep in around the past few years. Reportedly turned down offers from Alabama and the like. In hindsight, he probably saw this coming all things considered.Big surprise on this.
Who is this Lake guy.
And WTF
better the devil you know
LOL equating Dabo or Saban to petersen.......................................Nah, while that sentiment applies to some situations, I can't agree with it here.
Petersen was a better coach than Oregon's coach. Every time. Oregon had the edge on talent and was able to win most of the games, but Oregon never had the edge in the coaching department.
If Dabo or Saban leaves, no one at Auburn or South Carolina is going to be upset because the next coach might be better. Petersen was about the best possible coach obtainable for UW.

Really?
i disagree, i think washington can and will find a better coachSaban is about the best coach Alabama can hope for.
Dabo is about the best coach Clemson can hope for.
Petersen was the best coach UW could hope for.
Frost was the best coach UCF could hope for.
Having each of those 4 statements doesn't mean they are equivalent in terms of coaching ability or accomplishments. It is relative to each school.

They recently signed a pretty good endorsement deal with Adidas IIRC, they have a solid team and the rest of the staff is in tact so recruiting shouldnt take a hit. If Petersen was burnt out and not getting it done, you could see it as only potential. Time well tell.Well, you'll be waiting a looooooooooooooong time.
That was definitely true his first two years. UW’s talent and coaching where both superior in ‘16 and ‘17 (the two wins). Pretty equal last year, came down to a missed field goal. I don’t remember much about what I thought of the coaching either way. Oregon definitely had the talent edge this year. Was a close game that UW probably should have won, but hard to say Oregon’s talent just took over. They seemed to win the adjustment battle the second half. Not that it’s all on Petersen. He was gonna have to make some moves with his offensive staff this off season.Nah, while that sentiment applies to some situations, I can't agree with it here.

I saw AG's boat,
He's only 55. Wouldn't be surprised if he coached again, but would be more than stunned if it was deeper in the media driven high level college arena. He had a disdain for the media, spotlight, and had been quite vocal against the pay for likeness stuff, recruiting cutthroat coaches, late night/friday night games and other issues with the Pac in general...Does he coach again? USC?
Some wonder if the lack of passion from the team this year reflected how down the coach looked/acted all season.Pretty curious as to why he's stepping down. Washington hasn't had a great year, but I never had the impression that his seat was remotely hot. He seemed to have a good thing going at Washington. Just really strange.
Exactly what was said. We will learn more from his presser tomorrow. If his heart isn't into it and he can't give it the 24/7/365 the job demands then he should step away and everyone should support it.He was a bit burnt out when he left Boise, I can only guess that continued.
Shocking for sure, but I guess he needs a break for a while.
Big difference between criticizing specific aspects of the staff or team and looking for him to be removed.A lot of UofW fans complained about him....MORAL, "Be careful what you wish for". The guy had a down year to be sure, but brought a program that was irrelevant for a quarter of a century back to prominence (or at least the prominence conversation) in a very short time. If he isn't looking for a break USC, any number of Big 10 and SEC programs will suck this guy up in a nanosecond.
You don't have an announcement of a coach stepping down with another one already in it naming not an interim, but full fledged promotion and terms of a deal without all of that being worked out for quite a while behind the scenes. I doubt it goes back the full two years Lake has been DC. But I'm sure it will come out that it was at least several weeks if not a few months in the coming.Up and comer coach. Has been given a few promotions to justify pay bumps to keep in around the past few years. Reportedly turned down offers from Alabama and the like.
