"We should pay attention to what is happening in Idaho today. There is a press conference scheduled for 7pm out there involving Petersen. Not sure why they would need to schedule a press conference to say he is staying since he already released a letter to the media stating those intentions. Uh-oh, did the stomachs just knot up in Boise? Do teams schedule pressers to talk about their bowl game? I don't know. They have grabbed my attention."
"Just to throw it out there… the buzz at the SEC Champ game today within the media (from all schools) is that Petersen will be the MSU coach.. Nobody has anything solid to write on and the MSU AD will not speak to anybody (this is the most tight lipped coaching search I have ever followed in the SEC) but there are a lot of people claiming they have inside information that Petersen had to deny contact yesterday because of BSU's outside chance at a BCS bowl. "
"Unfortunately for this website there will never be enough information to prove your source had solid information unless Petersen is named the coach at MSU. If he does not end up at MSU then there will probably never be another word spoken about it or how close he really was to being at MSU. BSU fans will continue to deny it but either way there was major smoke on Wed/Thurs/Fri this week and I have to believe that Petersen was interested, it was negotiated and he either tentatively accepted and later declined, or he needed the weekend to be silent for the reasons stated above. He went MUCH further in talks than he ever did at UCLA, Washington, etc.. There is pretty good evidence he met with the MSU AD face-to-face in an interview setting.. I just don't have the ability to share it."
