I don't think this would be a wise move for UC - just posting the article for speculative purposes.

Gary Barnett says friends and former peers tell him he looks "10 years younger" since he left the coaching profession nearly a year ago.
"I definitely will go back if it's the right place, the right thing," Barnett said in a phone interview from his home in Arizona. "I know everybody wants 'right place' defined, but it has to be the right [situation] in my opinion. I've definitely put in my year [out of coaching] and I've learned a lot. But if the right thing, the right match, is there, I'd love to get back into it."
Barnett, who turned 60 in May, declined to identify which jobs might interest him. But the coaching position most frequently linked with his name -- Missouri, his alma mater -- might not be available for another five years. On Nov. 17, Missouri announced a five-year extension for coach Gary Pinkel, who could be at the school until 2011.
