Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

So not to bash a good head coach. He was great for Boisie.
So don't take this the wrong way when I say he was scared.
He passed up on Auburn and USC. Both way better jobs than Washington. Even if both programs had clowds over their heads. Those clowds wouldn't last forever.
Peterson left Boisie because he knew he needed better recruits to compete nationally. UW provides that significantly with a quality head coach.
Peterson will do well at Washingon. Better than Hawkins did at Cu.
However he is scared to go to a program with high expectations. He doesn't want to go to a program where when he recruits top 5 classes the fans demand a title within a year or two. And if/when he doesn't provide it then it's considered a failure. I don't believe he is looking for that kind of pressure. And he would have that at both schools.
But at UW that pressure does not exist. They will only ask a bowl game of him. Then when he overachieves that with a 10 win season they will love and adore him.
So don't take this response the wrong way. I think he is a great coach and will succeed. I wanted him at Auburn (though I'm more than happy with Malzahn). I just don't think he wants the pressure of a top school.
