If Auburn had Peterson and UW had Malzahn,

would there be any doubt who wins this game Saturday? Is anyone worried about the roster of UW? It's just the coaching. The $7 million coach needs to take the next step this year.

welp, Malzahn has been to three NY6 bowl games (incl a Natty appearance) in 5 years and is 2-3 against the benchmark HC in college football. I'd say he's accomplished enough to hold his own against anyone at this point.
The real matchup, anyways, is Steele v. Peterson. And I think Steele will have some tricks up his sleeve.

What facts are you building your theory on? Peterson has lost every high profile game while coaching at UW. Hoover plays a stronger regular season schedule.

Then you would be melting that Peterson doesn't recruit well enough to win a NC. We could steal Saban and you would bitch that he doesn't handle QB's and kickers well.

You're underselling Gus.
That said, I don't necessarily think you're wrong that Peterson is the better coach, but Gus has won some huge games and has shown he's capable of coaching on the highest level. He's shown this to a far greater extent than Peterson, even if we think Peterson is more promising overall.
Big year for Gus, IMO. It's also a hard year, so we have to grade him on a curve. If we genuinely compete for the SEC (best we can considering the schedule) and have a consistent identity with no LSU/Clemson style debacles, I might be comfortable saying Gus has turned a corner.

I would much rather have Malzahn. He has proven he can coach offense with the best of them and can whip the big boys asses. He can also recruit his arse off.
But yea, let's get the Left Coast turd who has never won anything....
the whole Chris Petersen is an amazing coach thing just stems from his time at Boise when he beat OU. He has lost 6 games twice while at UW.

Malzahn worries me because when we lose we lay a egg, we seem to never lose a hard fought close game. We just come out flat a couple of games a year, last year we were flat against Clemson, Mercer, SECCG, UCF, and 2nd half LSU game. On paper we should handle UW but when you factor in Gus and the dome I have no idea how this game will end up.

If a frog had wings he would bump his arse when he jumped

This would be a delicious bump on Saturday if we are down 10-0 midway through the 2nd qtr

As much as we shite on Gus, you'd have to give him credit about addressing the defense with the hiring of Kevin Steele. We've finally fielded defenses that can step up and win us games. I'm def nervous about this game, but Washington's defense is going to be over matched physically.

I would love to have Peterson as our coach.
