    Chris Petersen

    He was the first two-time winner of the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award

    Christopher Scott Petersen, born on October 13, 1964, is a highly respected figure in college football, known for his exceptional coaching career. Petersen first gained national attention as the head coach of Boise State University, where he led the Broncos to unprecedented success. During his eight seasons with the team, Petersen guided Boise State to two BCS bowl victories, including the iconic 2007 Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma, which remains one of the most memorable upsets in college football history. His ability to develop talent and implement innovative offensive strategies made him one of the most sought-after coaches in the country.

    Petersen's success at Boise State was further highlighted by his two-time win of the prestigious Paul "Bear" Bryant Award, which he earned in 2006 and 2009. This recognition solidified his reputation as one of the top coaches in the nation. In 2010, he was also honored with the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award, a testament to his leadership and ability to build a winning culture. Under his guidance, Boise State consistently ranked among the top teams in the country, and his teams were known for their discipline, creativity, and resilience on the field.

    In 2014, Petersen took on a new challenge as the head coach of the University of Washington Huskies. His impact was immediate, as he quickly turned the program into a national contender. In 2016, Petersen led the Huskies to the College Football Playoff, marking the program's first appearance in the prestigious tournament. Although Washington fell to Alabama in the Peach Bowl, Petersen's ability to elevate the team to such heights was widely praised. His tenure at Washington was marked by consistent success, including multiple Pac-12 titles and bowl game appearances.

    On December 2, 2019, Petersen announced his resignation as head coach of the Huskies, citing a desire to step away from the pressures of coaching and focus on other aspects of his life. His decision was met with widespread respect, as he left behind a legacy of excellence, integrity, and innovation in college football. Petersen's influence on the game remains significant, and he is regarded as one of the most accomplished and respected coaches of his generation.
