Potential Recruits Take Notice

PrintCoach Pete never ceases to amaze me. If I had a son - and he played D1 football - there would be only one place I'd encourage him to go: Boise State. Not because they are located in one of the friendliest small cities in America, and not because they are a great team with a winning tradition, but because of the values that Coach Pete instills into his young men. Here is yet another example. Apparently, Coach Pete could not locate Coach Ault on the field after Friday night's game, so he contacted him Saturday morning. Here's what Coach Ault had to say about that conversation.
“He’s the finest young coach in America,” Ault told a booster group in Reno, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. “He called me Saturday morning, ‘I just wanted to tell you you kicked our butts. Congratulations, you’ve got a great team,’ ” Ault said. “I mean, this guy is class. I’ve said that from the first day he started coaching. He looks you in the eye when he talks to you. He’s not a guy who goes backdoor. I just enjoy coaching against him. He’s as classy a coach as I’ve ever coached against.
“He wanted to make sure he called [me] Coach Ault. And that’s what he calls me. A lot of those other guys call me different things.”

This is the kind of example I would want set for my son, day-in and day-out, for four years.

Coach Pete
He is a class act. And I think that it rubs off on our fans and local media, not to mention the day by day lessons his players learn. There is a reason why SEC fans are so arrogant… because it starts with the horses a$$es that coach the majority of the schools (Nick Saban, Gene Gizzick, Bobby Petrino, Urban Meyer, Steve Spurrier, I am talking about you). It takes a big man to admit when he lost, when he got beat. And Coach Pete is a big man. Much like when Bobby Bowden got beat by South Florida (I believe it was last season), during the press confrence Coach Bowden said the South Florida mopped the field with his team, that they got beat every which way, the game was not close, etc etc. That said alot about Coach Bowden, he praised the other team and said he got beat. Anyone remember what Coach Saban said after his team, and quarterback were absolutley manhandled, molested, beat, what ever you want to call it,, at the hands of the Utah Utes?? Nothing close to what coach Bowden or Coach Pete would have said. Thanks Coach Bowden, and thanks Coach Pete.
Yep and maybe that's the common denominator for me as a fan
I was a Florida St. fan when Bowden was in his hey day. I chose them over the much more flashy and flamboyant Miami Hurricanes and the cocky condescension of Spurrier’s Gators.
I liked what Bowden stood for and how he presented itself and thusly how his team modeled the same.
Today, those are the same reasons I pull for Boise St. as strongly as I do. If it was a different sort of coach here I would still pull for Boise St. but they may not be my favorite team today or I swould be far far more casual. As it is Boise St. overtook FSU as my #1 after I had rooted for FSU for about 18 years (albeit I was in total isolation from them for the last ten so it’s not like it was a super strong bond but still).
I Wall of Text like it's the in thing to do
I dread losing Coach Pete...
I don’t foresee it as long as Boise State does everything he asks, and I know he wants to stay in Boise until his kids graduate. He’ll stay. Forever. I hope. Go Boise State!
