I heard and already knew like everyone else here, what a great experience and education it was for 9'er to coach with one of the few elite coaches in the country.
However what wasn't mentioned was, learning from and coaching with Peterson at a program Peterson has already established is one thing. Joining Peterson in the move to a new program where the culture and implementation of a new way had to implemented is an entirely different experience and one that can not be overstated.
What a golden experience for 9'er to draw from. He got to take part in and experience first hand the transition at UW, how Peterson approached and handled every aspect. He played a first hand role in the implementation process of a new system, culture, and way. To me, that is a much more valuable and RELEVANT experience for him for this job than had he just coached with Peterson at Boise state in an already established and well oiled system and culture.
I think we are extremely lucky with this hire. I trust 9'er 100% and will support whoever he brings in to fill his staff 100%. He knows what he's doing and will get this thing going in the right direction.
Go Beavs!!!!!!

Coach Pete is the best coach in the country IMO. JS learned from the ground up in implementing Coach Pete’s philosophy. |

In his welcome speech he talked about the experience of going to UW and how he learned from it and how those lessons will carry over to this transition

But I agree this experience is not being highlighted enough |

Did anyone else get the feeling that maybe some general reactions to JS being hired has him feeling a bit like a walk on again, overlooked, underestimated and it seems to give him a fire in his belly that catapults him to success.
Maybe I'm reading into it my own initial reaction.... Great to hear him talk with passion about recruiting and being excited about the job.
If we had hired a guy who has been a great HC but didn't want to be hear I think it would show in everything from Media sessions, player interactions and recruiting.
Great to see his passion for our school and our program.

But I agree this experience is not being highlighted enough I hadn't listened to the actual press conference when I started this thread. So was pointing out that none of the talk radio discussion or news that I heard made mention of that specifically and based on the responses here I'm not alone in thinking that was an extremely valuable experience to prepare him for this job. |

Our last two successful coach (Riley and Erickson) truly wanted to be here and loved Corvallis and OSU. I never got that vibe from Andersen. I do with Smith, who showed more passion for OSU in five minutes than Andersen did throughout his entire tenure, except for the time after last year's Civil War, when I think he was truly overwhelmed with positive feelings.
I can't wait for the next edition of "bedlam at Reser Stadium,"starring Jonathan Smith.
Saturdays are for winning.

Coach Smith has now been involved at a grass-roots level in three rebuilding efforts. He came to Corvallis for Riley's first season and redshirted. Saw first hand what Riley did to change the culture. Then saw what Dennis Erickson did to change the culture again, and take the program to unprecedented heights.. and then he got to have a hand in completely changing the culture at UW, from the coaches' perspective.
We talk about the pedigree with Erickson, Riley, and Petersen, but maybe equally important is the timing of these events during Smitty's forging as a coach.
I feel extremely fortunate that we landed Coach Smith, the more that I look at this.

I’ve been thinking that JS’s experience as a player being here on a team coming off 3 wins in 2 years and making it to 11 wins and the Fiesta bowl is invaluable. It makes him a lot more believable to players and recruits when he says he believes we’re really not that far away. He’s lived it from both the player side and the coaching side.
