I think he's the obvious hot name out there but I dont see him leaving Boise. I could see them making a run at Sarkisian (Sp) the former USC assistant who took the Washington job, and I really think they are a year late on the guy would have loved to hire but Lane Kiffin already has a sweet gig.
ESPN said Mike Reilly of Oregon State, I'd bet they definitely gauge Peterson's interest, Tuberville will throw his name in there I'm sure, possibly Sarkisian from Washington.
I wonder if Sarkisian is wishing he had stayed at USC one more year? This might be the job that Chris Peterson jumps at...if given the chance!
I don't know...but boy stealing Sarkisian from UW would be a kick in the pills, wouldn't it?
Chris Petersen has a much better team in Boise than he would have at SC. Of course that didn't stop Brian Kelly.
This. Boise is being mentioned as a national title contender, and with two big OOC games next year, losing ONE starter, and the "big" programs falling off...if they can go 13-0 again, they should be playing in the NC game. I can't think of an accomplishment quite like winning a NC with a non-AQ team. As a coach, I'd want that on my resume.
Back to Carroll. I wonder if the NCAA investigations have anything to do with this. They're investigating Bush, McKnight, and USC already self-imposed sanctions on the BB team because of the Floyd/Mayo controversy. It's hard to get the best players when you don't cheat, and it's REALLY hard to cheat when you're being watched.
Of course, "...before the Super Bowl, Bill Beeeelicheck gathered his football players and said, 'let's win this one for real! Just this one time! Let's not cheat!' You know what happened? They LOST! Even if you feel like all eyes are upon you, you cannot give up on cheating, or you can lose the biggest game of your lives."
