Idk, but this might be the fastest fire then hire in the history of college football lol

Ya gotta feel kinda bad for Petersen for only one year. He had Peters to work with, but that’s the life of a P5 college football coach. Bielema knew he wasn’t the answer and made the change asap. Gotta love that.

Petersen had an experienced OL, a 10th year senior qb, running backs, 2 tight ends, Juice2 at the slot, but short wrs.
He decided to instill his own offense instead of taking advantage of what he was given.

I’d agree with that. Everybody just knew he wasn’t the guy and glad BB pulled the trigger.

Petersen was not a good OC for this program.

Dude insulted I Williams by relegating him to the 4th or 5th option offensively for 70% of the season. He was a disaster in other areas as well.

Good riddance.
