Ask me who the best college football coach in Washington is and I’ll answer at warp speed. Chris Petersen.
The man flat-out lives in the win column. He could turn any molehill of a program into a mountain and sustain success for as long as he’s there.
But ask me who my favorite football coach in Washington is and I think I’d have to go with Mike Leach. For now, at least. I suppose with him it could change at any moment.
I honestly never thought I’d write a paragraph like the one above. I found Leach particularly off-putting when I first showed up in Seattle three years ago.
