UW Football Program A–5 STANDING COMMITTEES Academic and Student Affairs Committee UW Football Program INFORMATION For information only. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Chris Petersen, Head Coach, UW Football When Chris Petersen was hired after the 2013 season, no one knew for sure how long it might take to return the Husky program to the top levels of the college football world. It turns out, it took about three years. In 2016, the Huskies had their best season since 2000 and one of their best ever, winning the Pac-12 Championship, earning a spot in the College Football Playoff and finishing ranked No. 4 in the final polls. They did it with high-achieving, young players across the starting lineup while also succeeding in the classroom at an unprecedented and sustained rate. That success continued in 2017, as the UW has posted back-to-back, 10-win seasons for the first time since 1990-91 and earned a spot in an New Years Six bowl game while going 11-2 overall and 7-2 in Pac-12 play. In the meantime, A–5/205-18 5/10/18 STANDING COMMITTEES Academic and Student Affairs Committee UW Football Program (continued p. 2) during the fall academic quarter, the Huskies posted a team GPA of 3.16, shattering the program's record, set the previous fall. Petersen, who built a reputation as an offensive innovator who carried the Boise State football program to its highest highs and had been courted by innumerable programs, was swayed to take on a new challenge when he agreed to become head coach of the Huskies in December of 2013. Petersen’s “Built for Life” philosophy, on which the program is based, achieved its highest level of fruition to date with the successes of the team in 2016. Along with those on-field victories, the team continued to achieve at never- before-seen levels academically as the team achieved a 3.09 grade point average (second-highest in recorded history for UW football) during the fall 2016 academic quarter. In 2016, three Huskies earned District 8 Academic All-America and Jake Eldrenkamp was named the Pac-12’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year for football. Along with a 12-2 (8-1 in the Pac-12), the Huskies posted other eye-popping numbers on offense, defense and special teams. The Huskies led the nation in turnover margin and were first in the conference and eighth in the nation in both total offense and total defense. The UW led the Pac-12 in 17 different team statistical categories. Following the 2016 season, in May of 2017, Petersen was honored with the Gene Stallings Award, awarded annually to a college head football coach who is both a humanitarian and an exceptional coach. In 2015, Petersen’s Huskies, featuring one of the nation’s youngest squads and a schedule ranked by many as the nation’s toughest, rallied for the Dawgs’ sixth consecutive bowl berth, which resulted in a victory over Southern Miss in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. A stout Husky defense (first in the Pac-12 in scoring and total defense) led the way as a freshman-laden offense showed steady growth en route to a 7-6 season record. Off the field, Petersen’s impact on the football program’s academic success was clear as well. In the most recently-completed academic quarter (spring, 2015), the football team posted a team GPA of 3.08, highest in school history for football. In his first season at Washington, Petersen led the Huskies to an 8-6 record and a berth in the TicketCity Cactus Bowl. He became the fastest active FBS coach to reach 100 career victories – doing so in 117 games – and tied with Knute Rockne A–5/205-18 5/10/18 STANDING COMMITTEES Academic and Student Affairs Committee UW Football Program (continued p. 3) for fifth fastest all-time after a win over cross-state rival Washington State in the Apple Cup. Petersen’s ‘Built for Life’ coaching philosophy has been embraced on and off the field by the Huskies in less than a year. Not only did Washington produce three first-team and seven honorable mention All-Pac-12 players, but a combined five players earned first or second team Academic All-Pac-12 recognition, including Danny Shelton who was named First-Team Academic All-American – a first for Washington since 1991. Petersen, 52, the only two-time winner of the Paul “Bear” Bryant Award (2006 and 2009), compiled an exceptional 92-12 record in his eight seasons as Boise State head coach (2006-2013), including two unbeaten seasons (13-0 in 2006 and 14-0 in 2009) and two BCS bowl berths. He won five conference titles and posted a 57-6 record in conference play (WAC from 2006-10 and Mountain West from 2011-13). Petersen, who won the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award in 2010, led the Broncos to 10 or more wins in seven of eight seasons and to 12 or more in four straight (2008-11). In 2006, Petersen’s first season in charge in Boise, he led the Broncos to their first undefeated season since 1958, when the school was a junior college. The 2006 season was capped by a 43-42 overtime win over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl, a game remembered by many as one of the greatest in bowl-game history. That Boise team ended the year ranked No. 5 in the final Associated Press top 25 poll. The following season, the Broncos went 10-3 and finished out of the polls for what would be the only time in Petersen’s first seven seasons. The 2008 squad went 12-1 and ranked No. 11 in the final top 25, finishing the regular season undefeated. In 2009, Petersen led the Broncos to their second undefeated campaign and another Fiesta Bowl berth. Boise State beat TCU, 17-10, in Arizona, becoming the first team from a non-BCS conference ever to win two BCS bowl games. The ‘09 Broncos checked in at No. 4 in the final AP poll. The 2010 season ended with a 12-1 record, a No. 9 final ranking and a win in the Las Vegas Bowl, the first of three straight trips to Vegas for Boise State. In 2011, BSU once again went 12-1, finishing with a No. 8 final ranking. In 2012, Petersen’s team went 11-2 and beat Washington in the Las Vegas Bowl, good for A–5/205-18 5/10/18 STANDING COMMITTEES Academic and Student Affairs Committee UW Football Program (continued p. 4) a No. 18 final ranking. In 2013, Boise State, which faced UW in the first game at newly renovated Husky Stadium, finished the regular season with an 8-4 record and earned a berth in the Hawai’i Bowl. Throughout his teams’ unmatched on-field success, Petersen also saw his Broncos succeed in the classroom. In 2011, Boise State was the only school to finish in the top 10 in both major polls and also receive a Public Recognition Award from the NCAA for finishing in the top 10 percent of the Academic Progress Rate (APR), the second of three straight such awards for the program. Boise State’s APR was second in the nation in 2011 and 2012 and Petersen was recognized in 2012 for having the best APR for the two previous years among all FBS coaches. Known for his work with quarterbacks, Petersen tutored Ryan Dinwiddie, Jared Zabransky and Kellen Moore at Boise State. Moore, a classmate of former Husky wide receiver Cody Bruns at Prosser (Wash.) High, set an NCAA record with 50 career wins as a starting QB while winning three conference player of the year awards. Moore was the only player ever to record four 3,000-yard seasons in both passing and total offense. His 142 passing touchdowns were second-most in NCAA history while his 14,667 career passing yards were fifth-most. He twice led the nation in passing efficiency and set an NCAA record for season interception percentage, throwing just three in 431 attempts in 2009. Before taking over as head coach at Boise State, Petersen served as the Broncos’ offensive coordinator from 2001-05, during which his teams averaged 41.3 points per game, leading the nation in scoring in both 2002 and 2003. Petersen began his coaching career in 1987 as freshman coach at his alma mater, UC Davis. In 1989, he became the Aggies’ varsity wide receivers coach. In 1992, Petersen moved to Pittsburgh, where he was quarterbacks coach. That season, Alex Van Pelt passed for more than 3,100 yards and 20 touchdowns. In 1993, Petersen moved back west to take over as QBs coach at Portland State, helping the Vikings to Division II playoff berths in each of his two seasons. In 1995, he took a job at Oregon as the receivers coach under Mike Bellotti, a position he held before moving to Boise as offensive coordinator in 2001. A–5/205-18 5/10/18 STANDING COMMITTEES Academic and Student Affairs Committee UW Football Program (continued p. 5) Born in Yuba City, Calif., on Oct. 13, 1964, Petersen graduated from Yuba City High in 1983 and went on to play quarterback at Sacramento City College. From there, he transferred to UC Davis, earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology in 1988. He later earned a master’s in educational psychology from Davis. At Davis, he set numerous school records, including the single-season standards for passing efficiency, completions, completion percentage, touchdown passes and total offense as well as the career mark for completion percentage.

  • Despite Inexperience, Broncos Confident in Rookie Linebacker Justin Hollins’ Versatility by Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post May 19, 2019
    Despite inexperience, Broncos confident in rookie linebacker Justin Hollins’ versatility By Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post May 19, 2019 He appeared in 52 games for Oregon. He was an outside linebacker, a defensive end, and an outside linebacker again. He played for three head coaches and three defensive coordinators. Justin Hollins saw a lot during his five years on the Ducks’ campus, but not what he experienced during the Broncos’ rookie camp last week. A chance to play inside linebacker. “It was mainly during the (East-West Shrine Game) that I played inside,” Hollins said. And that’s it. Hollins was the Defensive MVP of that game, one reason that the Broncos drafted him in the fifth round last month. He is working at outside linebacker in the Broncos’ base defense and inside linebacker in nickel. Outside, he can serve as a rotational player behind Von Miller and Bradley Chubb. Inside, he could join Todd Davis, Josey Jewell or an extra safety in covering the intermediate-to-deep middle part of the field. So how did this come about? The Broncos credit outside linebackers coach Brandon Staley. “(Staley) came to us with the idea,” defensive coordinator Ed Donatell said. “He thought he (Hollins) could get it done. He’s done a great job getting him ready. … Certainly, he can do both. But he might only do parts of each — maybe one full time and part of the other.” That’s why the Broncos view the experiment of moving Hollins around as reasonable. As Donatell said, they aren’t force-feeding Hollins the entire playbook at multiple positions and he is being taught the roles by the same person (Staley).

  • GARY KUBIAK HEAD COACH – 22Nd NFL Season (12Th with Broncos)
    GARY KUBIAK HEAD COACH – 22nd NFL Season (12th with Broncos) Gary Kubiak, a 23-year coaching veteran and three-time Super Bowl champion, enters his third decade with the Denver Broncos after being named the 15th head coach in club history on Jan. 19, 2015. A backup quarterback for nine seasons (1983-91) with the Broncos and an offensive coordinator for 11 years (1995- 2005) with the club, Kubiak returns to Denver after spending eight years (2006-13) as head coach of the Houston Texans and one season (2014) as offensive coordinator with the Baltimore Ravens. During 21 seasons working in the NFL, Kubiak has coached 30 players to a total of 57 Pro Bowl selections. He has appeared in eight conference championship games and six Super Bowls as a player or coach and was part of three World Championship staffs (S.F., 1994; Den., 1997-98) as a quarterbacks coach or offensive coordinator. In his most recent position as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator in 2014, he oversaw one of the NFL’s most improved and explosive units to help the Ravens advance to the AFC Divisional Playoffs. His offense posted the third-largest overall improvement (+57.5 ypg) in the NFL from the previous season and posted nearly 50 percent more big plays (74 plays of 20+yards) from the year before he arrived. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco recorded career highs in passing yards (3,986) and touchdown passes (27) under Kubiak’s guidance while running back Justin Forsett ranked fifth in the league in rushing (1,266 yds.) to earn his first career Pro Bowl selection.
