Yep. It would be the equivalent of Pittman BEGGING to stay. No HC, secure in their ability and job would hire the former, and significantly more successful HC to return to his former school in a subordinate role. Frankly, it would be just a step below Pittman promising that if Petrino has success Pittman will demote himself to OL coach because I doubt Petrino would be content to remain as OC when he knows he is the reason for Arkansas's success.

If Pittman is actually considering this hire he may as well just resign now and go get paid to be someone's OL coach/recruiting coordinator because he'd be cucking himself to put Petrino on staff in a year Pittman knows he's going to be fired if he doesn't produce.
