25 college football coaches you want to party with

12. Chris Petersen
Chris Petersen has had an interesting college coaching career. After turning Boise State into a national power almost overnight, he has taken his talents to the state of Washington. Now the head coach of the Huskies, Petersen has his new program’s eyes set on a possible College Football Playoff appearance.
Petersen spent five years as the head coach of Boise State, twice going undefeated. He led the school to two BCS Bowl wins, while compiling an incredible 92-12 record. In 2013, Petersen resigned right before Boise State’s bowl game, and would later take the job at Washington.
He struggled a bit through his first two years with the Huskies, but now has them nationally ranked. They are currently 3-0, and have run through their first three opponents. Petersen has one of the best young quarterbacks in the country, as Jake Browning has been absolutely dominant so far in his sophomore season.
To me, Petersen just seems like a good dude to hang out with. He always goes to bat for his players, and continuously speaks about having fun playing football. Partying with Petersen may not be a wild time, but it would certainly be fun.
