Maybe Colorado should have gone after Peterson instead of Hawkins.
Hawkins is given credit for the sucess of the Boise program the last 6 years. When he went to Colorado he also took most of his assistants, except Peterson. That means that not only did Boise have a first year coach but they also had almost all new assistants.
Will be interesting to see what happens to Peterson the next few years. BSU is reworking his contract to help keep him and he has indicated he plans on staying but one never knows? I remember what Erickson said less than a year ago when signing with Idaho.
