Chris Petersen has stepped down as the head coach at the University of Washington.
The shocking news was announced by the school on Monday, three days after UW concluded the 2019 season with a win over rival Washington State to finish the regular season with a 7-5 record.
Petersen spent six seasons as UW’s head coach, accumulating a 54-26 record with two Pac-12 titles and one College Football Playoff appearance. With Petersen stepping down, defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake has been promoted to head coach.

Whoa, big Husky fan forever here. This is shocking news!
Wow. Meanwhile the Cougar’s are keeping their coach for now. You can have the best coach but doesn’t do any good without talent on the field.
Peterson was hot stuff when he was at Boise State. He resisted other offers longer than most coaches at small schools. Seems to be a great guy.
USC?
Should never have left Boise State.
The next DC at Alabama.
Anyone else see the problem when the coaching staff at these Division 1 programs cumulatively earn on average over $10 million/year and the athletes get no money but suffer lifelong debilitating injuries. Oh yea they purportedly get an education.
They'll probably get Charlie Strong.
I think that was maybe going to be Jimmy Lake, who is now the Head Coach at Washington. Coaching changes all over the place the past few days.
Yep...USC
The big one is yet to come......Urban to Notre Dame.
Dallas Cowboys?
Why? Who in their right mind would want to coach for Jerry? You can't even pick your assistant coaches.
Not that this is likely to happen, but Chris Peterson already has his OC in place in Dallas. Kellen Moore was the QB at BSU for 4 years and only lost 1 game with him.
Well, the way the Cowboys offense has looked lately, I’m not sure how much longer Kellen is going to be around.
But Dak is putting up huge numbers according to Skip Bayless. /s
That would be a huge story. The most entertaining will be Lane Kiffin to ... Arkansas?
I could see Kiffin going to FSU.
Arkansas should get Mike Norvell.
