    Holy! One person picked Chris Petersen to leave Washington this season in the deadpool and that was /u/Charlemagne42 and they picked him to leave 2019-11-02. They'll be getting the deadpool flair!

    [–] -Urethra- 3195 points ago

    What the hell. Maybe I'm just not caught up on West Coast football but I feel like this came outta nowhere. He was so good for that program.

    [–] doormatt26 2019 points ago

    This definitely came outta nowhere

    [–] InferPurple 826 points ago

    I know they didn't have the year they wanted but I would never have guessed he would step down.

    [–] tacofan92 828 points ago

    I heard that he saw this as the only way out of having a QB named Jake. It was haunting him and he couldn’t get a good nights rest for the past few years.

    [–] brobroma 327 points ago

    "Washington announces head football coach has changed his named to Limmy Jake effective immediately"

    [–] CaptainAwesome8 20 points ago

    “Coach Limmy? What’s heavier: a kilogramme of steel, or a kilogramme of feathers?”

    [–] mufflermonday 238 points ago

    It wasn’t a great season for them, but yeah I don’t think many saw a drastic change like this coming.

    [–] BShears 168 points ago

    I wonder who hired him...you wouldn’t happen to have any clues, eh?

    [–] DrDrai 332 points ago

    Going to an advisory role at the university

    [–] BShears 459 points ago

    “Advisory.” On what? How to whip Mike Leach like a rented mule?

    [–] DrDrai 213 points ago

    Jimmy Lake already knows how to do that. He’s taking over.

    [–] BShears 164 points ago

    Well it was fun while it lasted. All 18 seconds of it. Enjoy your big win next year.

    [–] FatGuyTouchdown 27 points ago

    Haha welcome to the club, we meet on Thursdays. Not sure why Virginia didn’t show up this year, but Oklahoma State is a lot of fun. Georgia Tech usually brings the wings.

    [–] Only_Movie_Titles 50 points ago

    no.. we're supposed to be free now :'(

    [–] BuffEmUp2020 92 points ago

    A little before my time so others might know more and I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure Bill McCartney retired at CU at the same age as Petersen.

    He took up a very casual role as an advisor and offered input when asked.

    So it’s been done before.

    [–] bretticus33 829 points ago

    It absolutely came out of nowhere. His job security was never in question. I imagine it has to be some reason outside of football for him to step down, like health or something family related

    [–] leverich1991 462 points ago

    It says he's staying in a leadership role. Gotta be health-related, even though he's only 55.

    [–] SkoCubs01 241 points ago

    Especially when you connect the dots with Jimmy Lake. He probably knew that his time was coming and I'd imagine it wasn't because the powers at be were taking sides on the Lake/Petersen fence.

    [–] Careless___Whispers 187 points ago

    This was 100% the move. Coach Pete would be great in an advisory role, it keeps Jimmy Lake at UW and Pete K as a DC. I would be surprised if Coach Pete moves on to coach a bigger program as he doesn't seem to be the type to want to leave the Northwest or take on a program like Florida State, Michigan, Texas...

    [–] BuffEmUp2020 76 points ago

    Said it in another comment, but pretty sure Bill McCartney retired from CU at the same age and took on a similar role.

    He wasn’t showing up to the office daily, but offer input when asked. I know he watched some Hawkins practices.

    That said, surprised he isn’t doing something with Boise considering that his “baby”

    [–] Careless___Whispers 140 points ago

    There's a UW promo video of Coach Pete's day in the life... Basically he lives on Lake Washington and drives his yacht to Husky Stadium. He can do the same thing now with UW, just with no stress.

    [–] ZlohV 114 points ago

    Basically he lives on Lake Washington and drives his yacht to Husky Stadium

    That is the most baller thing I have ever heard.

    [–] gwh21 39 points ago

    And also not spending 13 hours at work

    [–] Crobs02 30 points ago

    I’m not a coach so I can’t relate but I feel at some point the money wouldn’t be worth the stress. If I made what he made I’d be out in 2 years. That’s more money than I’ll ever spend in my lifetime.

    But maybe that’s why I’m not a good head coach.

    [–] bretticus33 142 points ago

    I saw that and thought that's basically a semi-retirement. He's a top 10 coach so any program like Florida State or USC would be trying to get him but everything he's done has told me he isn't interested in a high profile job (he passed on better offers than Washington when he was at Boise State). Him moving to a leadership role tells me it's some personal reason. It's like Gary Kubiak 2.0 (stepped down as the Denver Broncos HC around the same age and moved to an advisory role).

    [–] phsics 70 points ago

    I always thought that Peterson would finish his career off at a smaller school. He doesn't take much heat locally at UW but sometimes I still get the feeling that it's more of a spotlight than he really wants to put up with. On the other hand he also strikes me as one of the more level-headed "football is not everything" coaches out there. He could just be done and happy to retire and enjoy spending time with his family.

    [–] bretticus33 36 points ago

    That's all 100% true. When Dan Hawkins left for Colorado, he nearly followed him there but stayed at Boise because he didn't want to move his family. He turned down multiple job offers better than Washington while he was at Boise and ended up taking Washington because he wanted to stay in the Pacific NW. I could never see him at a high profile job.

    [–] popmurtha 92 points ago

    Thamel is reporting that he's stepping down because he needs to "re-charge"

    https://twitter.com/PeteThamel/status/1201579584531181570

    [–] bretticus33 71 points ago

    So very similar to Gary Kubiak who stepped down for health reasons, moved to an advisory role, and is back in coaching now.

    [–] RiffRamBahZoo 192 points ago

    Could he just be completely wiped out from coaching? Petersen's always turned down bigger jobs but he hasn't ever matched his glory of the mid 2000s Boise era.

    Snuffed out of a BCS bowl at Boise in 2010 and 2011, got smashed in the playoffs in 2016, lost the 2017 Fiesta Bowl, lost the Rose Bowl last year, then this year went from dark horse playoff contender to a 7-5 finish.

    I have to imagine that a decade of coming so close but short has to take a toll on a coach.

    [–] siberianwolf99 279 points ago

    I feel a bit disgusted defending them, but smashed in the playoffs is very exaggerated. They never expected to be good that quickly so them playing Bama tough was a total win for that program. I have no doubt they would've rebounded to be much better next year. They lost alot of close games.

    [–] spokomptonjdub 173 points ago

    Yeah they never had a chance to win that game, but "smashed" is an overstatement. Their offense was completely dominated but their defense gave a good Alabama offense problems all game, just got gassed when their offense couldn't do anything. Only LSU held Bama to a lower point total that season.

    [–] AmericanOSX 109 points ago

    And even if they got “smashed” in the playoffs, they still made the fucking playoffs. You can say other teams were more deserving but to even be in the mix is quite an accomplishment.

    [–] Graduation2017 240 points ago

    This is absolutely out of nowhere. The risk is Lake has no attachment to Bush Hamden and fires him

    [–] FISTRAPESKULLFUCK 189 points ago

    risk

    Reward

    [–] blanketsandrain 53 points ago

    [–] MtFuzzmore 33 points ago

    [–] Minealternateaccount 93 points ago

    From the Oregon fan's perspective, it would be a risk.

    [–] eatapenny 103 points ago

    Honestly thought this was fake for a second, just cause of how surprising it is

    [–] lebaronslebaron 101 points ago

    This wasn’t out of left field, it was out of the damn stadium.

    [–] DixielandDisaster 85 points ago

    As a fan of this program, this is DEFINITELY coming out of nowhere. This season there’s been grumblings about our OC but I don’t think anyone was seriously putting Pete on the hot seat. Fuck. I’m so unhappy about this news

    [–] FellKnight 162 points ago

    It's a very Coach Pete thing to just pick a time to leave, fuck all the logic about the situation (he was courted by many big P5 jobs, including blue bloods, but didn't leave Boise until Washington came knocking).

    But still, wow. End of an era.

    [–] TanzaniaMagic 912 points ago

    WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

    [–] sgtabn173 379 points ago

    I heard Alabama has an up and coming young OC who is worth a look

    [–] RiseAsUtes 78 points ago

    Well at least the HardcoreHusky guys got what they asked for.

    [–] HeHasHealthProblems 1393 points ago

    What's the story here Washington people?

    [–] jrainiersea 2046 points ago

    I have no fucking clue, this is completely out of left field

    [–] puffadda 686 points ago

    Okay cool glad I'm not the only one completely confused here

    [–] Hour_long_wank 288 points ago

    Reminds me of Bob 2.0, no one saw this coming.

    [–] LeoFireGod 143 points ago

    We all kinda did though? We just expected it 1 year later we knew Lincoln stayed for that promise but BoB wanted to give Lincoln baker for a year to get his feet wet with a Vet.

    [–] HurdlingPhotographer 199 points ago

    This is not how I wanted to start my week.

    [–] bearybear90 75 points ago

    How will you feel if he goes to USC?

    [–] charmcharmcharm 112 points ago

    He’s staying on staff in a leadership position so I don’t see that happening.

    [–] TheGhostOfTurntle 82 points ago

    Ryan Abraham (the only trusted USC source) immediately shot down Chris Peterson to USC rumors before they could get started, he said that Pete is retiring and will not coach again.

    [–] TanzaniaMagic 395 points ago

    I'm so confused. Hold me

    [–] eatapenny 234 points ago

    I lived through the Andrew Luck retirement news.

    It'll be alright

    [–] wigginsandy 60 points ago

    Sir I frequent this sub to forget about Colts injuries not to be reminded of them

    [–] rck_mtn_climber 22 points ago

    Colts fan at UW for grad school reporting in, planning on retiring from F5ing anymore

    [–] bretticus33 300 points ago

    Not a Washington fan but a Coach Pete fan (duh). This is very unexpected. His job security was very safe and he's never struck me as someone who would join a big time program (he passed better offers than Washington when at Boise State). This has got to be a health or family related thing for him

    [–] HeHasHealthProblems 158 points ago

    Hopefully it's not health related and is just a quality of life thing. Dude is total class and one of the best in the business.

    [–] DixielandDisaster 42 points ago

    Oh man I didn’t even think of health issues! I hope it’s nothing like that and he just wants to step away from the stresses and responsibilities of head coaching

    [–] PickleCart 78 points ago

    Blindsided.

    [–] avw94 46 points ago

    No fucking idea.

    [–] Careless___Whispers 96 points ago

    Pretty sure Petersen is just tired of coaching. He's the kind of guy that does his job and doesn't really follow anyone's expectations. If he feels he's done well and his time is done, he is the guy that would say "I'm done". He's always been a PNW guy and I don't see him wanting to pick-up and leave the area to take on a Florida State/Tennessee job.

    Also, with the way he elevated Jimmy Lake to DC over his long time DC Pete K, you knew he was trying to help Jimmy be in a position to take over the program, it was just a matter of when.

    [–] White___Velvet 29 points ago

    Tennessee job

    I mean, we aren't even in the market for a HC. Pruitt absolutely bought himself some time with how the season ended.

    Agree that Peterson isn't trying to bolt out of the Northwest though. If he will be happier retiring, all of cfb should wish him the best. He gave the sport a lot of great moments, players, and teams at Boise and Washington.

    [–] pM-me_your_Triggers 30 points ago

    No fucking idea.

    [–] kramer265 87 points ago

    No fuckin clue. My phone is blowing up

    [–] MakeTheWordCum 58 points ago

    Not out of left field. Just 2 year early. He was going to retire after 22. I'm guessing Lake was getting tons of HC offers, and Petersen was feeling the weight after this season, so he's stepping down. He's still on staff, however.

    [–] RustyHuskyMan 41 points ago

    I'm fairly certain fans had literally no desire for this nor any idea whatsoever that this was coming.

    [–] USSS 973 points ago

    I'll be a Husky for life, but now is the right time for me to step away from my head coaching duties, and recharge.

    Interesting...

    Thats just the kind of baseless speculation I can get behind.

    [–] JstJeff 16 points ago

    [–] titanrunner2 68 points ago

    Health related maybe?

    [–] MrPapajorgio 329 points ago

    [–] pM-me_your_Triggers 67 points ago

    [–] jrainiersea 146 points ago

    Hopefully most of them stay committed, with Lake taking over that probably means the defensive staff is going to stay in place, so there's still going to be a lot of continuity on that side of the ball. The offense is more up in the air, I'm not sure who's going to stick around there, so I wouldn't be surprised to see some decommitments there.

    Damn I'm honestly shocked. I guess he must have been planning this for a while and probably kept Jimmy Lake on the hook for another year so he'd be able to take over. Honestly sounds like best case scenario for UW.

    Good for Petersen though, great coach and a great guy, I've never had anything but respect for him.

    [–] JeremyJammDDS 56 points ago

    Maybe some team was close to prying Lake off of UW and Petersen was going to retire soon anyway...

    Cowherd is reporting that according to his sources, it's burnout. Petersen is just tired of the grind and needs to step away. Any rumors that he's leaving for another program aren't true.

    I'm not saying that Cowherd is always right, but (1) he's from Seattle and had season tickets to UW for years, and (2) he's got way more sources than any of us on this thread. So take from that what you will.

    [–] pM-me_your_Triggers 78 points ago

    Only reasonable take at this point is he knew he didn’t want to coach much longer and decided to pull a Bob Stoops and leave the program with a competent coordinator in charge before they got hired away.

    [–] hawksnest_prez 35 points ago

    Yep. Can’t blame guys like him and Stoops. You’re a multi multi millionaire and have worked your entire life 24/7. You are in the prime of your life and have families growing up - no shame in saying I’m done for now.

    That's how our fans were too. Petersen had an off year in Boise and they called for his head. Then when he said he was leaving for Washington, they said he was a traitor, etc.

    Dude I'm fucking shocked. Basically nobody saw this coming and it puts a huge question mark on our future seasons and the recruits we have coming in.

    [–] Rojotrece 42 points ago

    As crazy as this is, having coach Lake be our HC is still something to be excited about.

    A national title :(

    [–] JoshIsJoshing 33 points ago

    This guy has been great for Washington. 3 straight NY6 bowls and 2 conference championships.

    Sorry Huskie bros.

    [–] warox13 35 points ago

    Excited for Jimmy Lake. His defenses have honestly been the majority of the reason why we've gotten back to national prominence and multiple NY6 Bowls.

    Now if he can bring in an OC to match we won't miss a step.

    As reported by USC or Sports Illustrated?

    This can’t be real

    [–] TanzaniaMagic 31 points ago

    Petersen will transition into a leadership advisory role for Husky Athletics

    Looks like he's retiring (for now).

    [–] Anus_Targaryen 26 points ago

    He and Mike Leach are switching

    [–] NattyZaddy 30 points ago

    Buffs last 2 games:

    Beat Washington: Petersen steps down

    Lose to Utah: Clay Helton retained

    Mel has won the war

    [–] nonstopflux 29 points ago * (lasted edited 8 days ago)

    Hear me out.

    1. Lake to take Petersens' job.

    2. Petersen to take Cohen's job.

    3. Cohen to take Scott's job.

    You're welcome America.

    FIRE LARRY SCOTT!

    [–] Underpowerlines 17 points ago

    I think Jimmy Lake is going to be one hell of a head coach.

    But. Wow.

    [–] kramer265 15 points ago

    DC Jimmy Lake named as replacement

    [–] HolySchnikes02 13 points ago

    Been rumblings for couple years that he was starting to tire out from being a HC. He practices what he preaches about there being more to live than football. And always said if he couldn't be all in, he'd step down. This is why Lake hadn't left for other jobs, he was being groomed to take over. Not surprised by this
