Hawg Heaven

Care to elaborate?

Definitely would be a grand slam. I will 100% agree with that statement. However, I don't think he's leaving Boise for any amount of money. You absolutely have to call him and make him say no at least.

No doubt, ? Was for henri2

Otis trust me I'm there with you my only problem is they always play their toughest game first game of the year & he gets to prepare the entire off season for that game. Id rather see them play someone with either the offseason or 30 days for a bowl game.

Like you said Dan Hawkins was suppose to be amazing too but not sure you can win big at Colorado right now. They don't have great facilities plus Hawkins didn't have the recruiting abilities to recruit big boys there. Would be my only question on Peterson, does he have the connections to recruit to Arkansas against the big boys. Can he recruit highly rates kids bc at Boise he gets kids that are overlooked and don't have big time offers. We know how Arkansas fans feel about those kids. Hell bobby Petrino won 10 games in his 3rd and 11 in his 4th season and hog fans still argue with his recruiting capabilities. If Peterson recruits like that too would fans complain about him too?

Plus his coordinators that have left there at Boise how good have they done when they leave?

I would love to hire him but no matter what people say not sure you can say he doesn't have question marks. I think he would do great but I would hope he could recruit quite a bit better bc he wont have a whole year to prepare for the SEC games. Hell maybe he could get Bama moved to the first game of the year. Not sure if most people realize if you are less talented than another team your best chance to beat them is the first game before they get in a groove, have more game film of you, you get injured(they might get hurt too but will have more depth),& usually you just don't play your best week 1.

I think Peterson is the best of the coaches from Boise. I think he has recruited well there, much better than Nut. Nut never won anything while there. But I do think he has been able to get his teams up for one big game each year. I don't think his teams could survive a sec schedule.

Well Chris Peterson is a good coach for Boise, he is into a different type religion. We could find a good coach for Arkansas, something different then Chris Peterson.

Yes, it bothers me. I have no idea how good of a coach he would be against good or great teams week in and week out because he has never had to go against good or great teams week in and week out. His ability to motivate a team continuously and not for just one big game is unknown because he has never had to do it. His ability to have the creativity to out scheme good or great teams week in and week out is unknown because he has never had to do it.

Boise St. had zero offensive TD's last night. Having an entire off season to game plan and not being able to score an offensive TD bothers me. For some reason, I believe if Boise St. was in the SEC, their record would be very similar to Miss. State's record over the last 10 years. Then I ask myself "Would Peterson be a hot name with a record like Miss St. ? "

Oh and let's all remember that Rich Rod had a bunch of schools wanting to hire him from WVa and we see how that worked out at Michigan. Same with Franchionne and numerous others. Just because a bunch of schools want to hire someone doesn't mean that he is guaranteed to be good. Athletic Directors have been wrong before.

Love this board. Otis answered your question for me.lol. I will add this,his history at Boise is playing easy after easy games with very few hard ones thrown in every now and then. I have no idea how he would be playing difficult games,one after another. There is no history of him doing that. Not saying he is not a good coach. He may be. I just don't know. He may be on my list. But would not be that high on my list. Plus like Otis said those coaches do not seem to do well when they leave. Colorado comes to mind. HDN included. I might add 10mil is a lot of money.

Wtf? What in the hell does religion have to do with college football? I don't care if he's a Satan worshiper. That's his personal business.

I hate the bible belt. Everyone is a freakin hypocrite.

Goat: the other white meat.

Incorrect, his organization does what it does with all of its "soon to be famous" members... It does a media wash until he is big enough to let it out.

I read news stories all over the AP ... every day.

6 years ago that is all Boise writers wrote. Now those stories are strangely impossible to find on the web.

And here is the thing guys, I dont care. He can believe in a religion that worships rocks and his god can be the all mighty Granite. I just do not care. He is not leaving Boise though. I think he is too good of a man to leave something he committed to.

Who cares if he's a scientologist, Christian, mormon, agnostic, atheist, or worshiper of Mars as long as he wins football games?
