Would you agree?<br /><br />If he wants success in coaching and he wants to reach the top of the college football world, it's going to have to be at another level.<br /><br />As much as people say he'll never leave Boise, I think a coach always wants a challenge and wants the bigger job. <br /><br />Maybe loyalty means more to Petersen than I think it does, but we'll see.Todd Kaufmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07092222436602791926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1266471251222041915.post-63518218265120288242010-12-29T11:22:38.571-06:002010-12-29T11:22:38.571-06:00Good piece, Todd.

Very interesting idea... and believe me, as a Michigan fan, I've thought a lot about Petersen in that role.<br /><br />The few things that could be standing in his way:<br /><br />1. He's not a "Michigan man." Of course, Bo Schembechler wasn't either when he was first hired.<br /><br />2. Boise unquestionably has a better team right now... and possibly for the next few years.<br /><br />3. I hate to say this, but Michigan might not get rid of RichRod just yet. They could end up giving him another year to screw up.<br /><br />All in all, very cool read. Well done, sir.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159490695999166738noreply@blogger.com
