I think this is a really good move for Petersen. It's in the same region of the country, so he can keep the vast majority of his recruiting contacts/reputation, but it's a significant step up. I think he'll have them being a pretty decent team here shortly.

Not to sure, there is an opening at Boise State now. However, I think that they will probably just move the OC up!

Wow, how many schools have tried to hire Petersen - and Washington lands him? Impressive.

Here's a story on the Seattle Times web site, although it really just cites the ESPN story: Report: Boise State’s Chris Petersen to be named new Huskies football coach

No joke. I remember an interview with several years ago and he seemed to say or maybe imply that he wanted to coach at BSU his entire career. But just as most things in life do, things change.
Re: Chris Peterson named head coach at Washington (via @schadjoe)
I wonder if he will take his staff with him or if Boise will try to retain as many folks as possible and just promote from within.

Like Schiano at Rutgers, I think that he meant it when he said it. The prospect of never playing for a championship became a clear reality, so he left. I suspect that something similar happened here.
Re: Chris Peterson named head coach at Washington (via @schadjoe)
IIRC he has a special-needs child that gets fantastic care in Boise, and that has long been the anchor keeping him in Idaho. I wonder if the child is old enough (or has been helped enough) where he no longer needs that specialized care, or perhaps similar access to help that the Petersen's have now is available in Seattle.

Wow. UW loses Sarkisian and ends up with Peterson. Talk about coming out smelling like a rose...

That could be the case. Seattle has a very high-quality medical community.

My thought exactly...

I have heard the latter mentioned previously
Re: Chris Peterson named head coach at Washington (via @schadjoe)
After I-don't-even-know-how-many rejected overtures, it was starting to look like he really might just stay in Boise. Shocked UDub was the school to lure him, although it's a pretty good job.
Re: Chris Peterson named head coach at Washington (via @schadjoe)
I'm not sure Peterson directly rejected many schools n years past. I believe the media threw his name out as a possible candidate, but schools didn't really seem to go after him like some expected.

So he finally makes the move. Good for him, it will be interesting to see what he can do there.

Hard to say what does and does not happen in these situations. But even considering only the ones that were more than just idle speculation, there have been many.
Re: Chris Peterson named head coach at Washington (via @schadjoe)
Hawkins was 53-11 in 5 years at Boise St. Petersen is 91-12. And, I think Boise St.'s schedule strength has improved significantly since Hawkins was there. Not to the SEC or PAC 12 level of dificulty obviously, but still much improved.
