Chris Petersen

Yeah.

Like Chris Petersen, it's no longer he's at the little kids' table.

Like, this dude's doing it.

And it... and I think the same thing right now.

And then you, you know, you think back to the game at Oregon, uh, where you won, where Scooby had that big game on, on Thursday night in 2014 that, that propelled you.

The Washington game that year where Chris Petersen didn't kick the, you know, uh, didn't kick a field goal or something, and you won on a Casey Skowron field goal at the buzzer.

So many great memories.

And now, uh, you know, just I-

North Dakota State knows what the hell they're doing, top to bottom, how they deal with the media, the way they present their program to their public.

Boise is a great example of a well-run football program with a wonderful person i- in charge, like Spencer Danielson, who's really kinda taken the baton from a guy like Chris Petersen.

And Chris Petersen mentors that guy day in and day out and, and does a really good job with him.

Uh, I like San Jose State, even though they're not great.

Uh, they have a Polynesian coach in Ken Niumatalolo, and two Polynesian-

So I had the Sarkisian days where we're getting 90% of the kids from California and couple from Washington.

And, and Chris Petersen showed up, and Jimmy Lake happened, and then Kalen didn't recruit.

And now Jed's recruiting at a high level, but he, I think, is about to hit the Sarkisian level of can you clear eight? Can you clear eight consistently? 'Cause Kalen won 10 twice.

Now, you know, Kalen is a one-at-a-time coach because that guy, you know, his offense will work anywhere.

Right, and I-

Could he pull a Chris Petersen and say, "You know what?"

"Yeah, I'm going."

"I wanna try it."
