He`s the QB whispering head coach and offensive mind Goff the Rams desperately need.
Cali guy born and raised.
Schooled at Cali where he has a degree in both psychology and education and played QB
Was an offensive positions coach for 14 years before he became an OC for 5 years, and has been a head coach for 11 years. At 52 definitely isn't too old or too young.
116-24 as ahead coach.
Coached in the PAC-10 against Goff, so he knows him well.
Petersen has mentored and coached sophomore QB Jake Browning to a nation best quarterback efficiency rating of 202.79. These numbers would shatter the 5 year record held by Russell Wilson at NC State in 2011 where he set the NCAA record with a 191.78 efficiency rating.
Although money may not be his driving force and wont get him to budge from his cushy job, Petersen is currently getting paid $3.6 mil at Washington. Kroenke could destroy those numbers.
Kroenke, forget the big names like Harbaugh, Gruden, etc. Not only will these guys not be interested, Petersen will bring more stability to the organization and there will be less of a circus. Of course Stan probably wants that circus like publicity, lol.
