I think he's pretty much got to make a move soon or he runs the risk of getting stuck like Pat Hill did at Fresno.

Coach Petersen has hinted that his run at Boise State may be nearing its end. As a die-hard Bronco, that's hard for me to hear, but the good news is that Coach Pete has mentored numerous assistants. When he does bid The Blue adieu, there will be a great head coach who can come in, knows the system, knows the culture, and can pick up the flag. Kwiatkowski, Harsin, and Wilcox are just a few names that would keep the Broncos on their upward trajectory.

Having said that, one thing to understand about Petersen is his disdain for the media spotlight. He absolutely HATES it. I would be extremely surprised if he takes either the USC or Texas job. He has expressed his wish on a number of occasions to simply get back to teaching, and let go all the extraneous pressures that come with being the head man at a nationally prominent collegiate team. He could just as easily become a coordinator in the NFL as take the head job at a lower division school like his alma mater, UC Davis. He said in an interview over the summer that he doesn't see himself coaching football at all in 10 years, so he may just retire and do something entirely different.

RE: Coaching Prospects-
I expect to see names like Tressell, Friedgen, and Ault to be making the rounds from those not currently active.

Petersen, Wells, Strong, Freeze, Carey, and Andersen are potential movers depending on what other programs create vacancies, that are currently active.

Just like Saban, I fully expect Meyer to have a very active agent. That man is getting a raise at the very least.

RE: Coaching Prospects-
I doubt anything changes with Urban Meyer. Ohio State is as high profile as any job currently available, and that includes Texas and USC...

RE: Coaching Prospects-
Urb will probably get a raise out of all of this, one way or another. He won't move. If USC and/or Texas hires a name big enough to command a salary in Meyer's range, then Meyer's agent shakes a raise out of Ohio State.

RE: Coaching Prospects-
Is there really a "home run" hire out there? Who are the good coaches and where do they come from?

Let's use the AP Top 10:

1. Alabama- hired Nick Saban, who was wildly successful at LSU, from the NFL- and shattered the salary scale for college coaches in doing so. Maybe USC could do the same thing for Chip Kelly, but it would cost them in the neighborhood of 6 years, $72 M. Even then he might not want to head back to the college game.

2. Oregon- Mark Helfrich is 4 games into his career as HC, was UO's OC before that.

3. Clemson- Dabo Sweeney was an assistant under Tommy Bowden when he got the job. No previous HC experience.

4. Ohio State- Urban Meyer went undefeated at Utah, still a MWC member, when Florida hired him. Is DeRuyter the next Urban Meyer?

5. Stanford- David Shaw was an assistant under Jim Harbaugh and was promoted when Harbaugh left. No previous HC experience.

6. Georgia- Mark Richt was an assistant at Florida State. No previous HC experience.

7. Louisville- Charlie Strong was an assistant at Florida. No previous HC experience.

8. Florida State- Jimbo Fisher was an assistant at LSU before being brought on as Bobby Bowden's heir apparent. No previous HC experience.

9. Texas A&M- Kevin Sumlin was the HC at Houston when Texas A&M hired him.

10. LSU- Les Miles was the HC at Oklahoma State when LSU hired him to replace Nick Saban.

10 coaches, 2 home runs- Saban and Meyer.

You have the #1 choice right there, I think. No, not Saban. A lot of people at USC will be rooting for the Eagles to go 3-13 this year. Maybe some people at Texas, too. They'll move on to Plan B, C, and D after Philly wins enough games this year for Kelly to come back next year, but put it this way: If Kelly is available and interested in taking another college job, who would you hire instead of him?

RE: Coaching Prospects-
Southern Call would be nuts to not call Sumlin and they will do so. I do have to wonder if Kevin would be interested in going to LA, however.

I don't see Chris Peterson leaving Boise State; he'll retire up there.

What about Brian Polian at Nevada? He's new there and new to being a HC... but good things are being said about him.

Dave Clawson at Bowling Green should also get a few calls.

He's got at worst two years in Philly before they cut him loose. Reid and management didn't exactly draft or obtain much of a team those last few years, and that's what Chip has in Philly now. I think they give him enough slack to take whatever they get this year with the expectation of betterment for next. If the Eagles go 3-13 this year but at worst go 7-9 or 8-8 next, he stays. Pile up double-digit losses in back to back seasons, and welcome back to college.

Even at the college level, though, I think he needs a program with some sort of sugar daddy, be it Oregon-like with major booster coin, or one of the top programs with rich legacy and established recruiting territory (USC, ND, Michigan, Bama, Texas, etc.). Who knows...maybe Oregon gets him back?

RE: Coaching Prospects-
If USC offers enough money, Kelly may jump at the chance. But I still think Del Rio has the inside track. He has no buyout, and is a USC alum...

If I what you say about Peterson is correct, UC Davis would be an awesome way to end a career.

1. Alma Mater
2. Gorgeous part of the country (between Sacramento and Bay Area).
3. Top 40 national university (polar opposite of Boise State). It would probably mean that he gets the leftovers of really good kids that are passed over by Cal and Stanford because they barely do not qualify academically or are just not quite good enough athletes.
4. Expectations are low. The school does not put much into athletics at all, but they are the highest revenue school in the Big Sky, including the Montana schools.
5. It is a successful football program away from a MWC invite, and if it would have happened sooner, they would have been a more quality add than San Jose State in pretty much every category.
