So do we have the best job available now?

If Petersen, Kelly, or Patterson are looking to move, do we have the ability to get one of these guys?

I have heard we are still talking to Petersen. Maybe with the Oregon move it will nudge him to us. He has to realize that BSU isn't going to play in the big game unless the big conferences don't have a team in the hunt. </p>

They can get in the BCS undefeated with a decent OOC schedule, and maybe after a year or two and with a big OOC win, the NC game. OM and State have to play in the murderers row of the SEC, and it just seems easier to lose in the SEC.

But as to the question, it seems you are the best gig available. I wouldn't be surprised though if Kelly stays, and waits for the ND job next year.

Is our gig better than the current gig of the coaches we are interested in. I think more and more coaches are less inclined to move.

but if anything, this year probably threw a wrench for BSU more than anything, with Utah clowning this year. Utah is going to take a BCS match up over Boise. Since they're sitting at an uncomfortable number 9 they really might get screwed over. It sucks more knowing that these guys did everything that could. Just that alone and a higher pay raise might be enough, but again... I'm not getting my hopes up on all of that.
