Curious if there are links you can provide where ranters either claimed that Patterson was "never ever leaving" (as you claimed on the other Patterson post), or that he's TCU's Joe Pa. The vast majority of level-headed posts I've seen thus far have merely argued that, when you consider all of the objective elements of THIS moment in time, it's unlikely that he leaves TCU in 2011. That's it. If they hadn't just won the Rose Bowl, or they weren't moving to the Big East, or they weren't about to play in a brand new $100M stadium, or Patterson hadn't built that program with his own two hands...if any of these factors weren't in play, the probability of Patterson moving to LSU in 2011 would be higher. But that's not the case. Doesn't mean it won't be different in future years - just means that's the state of affairs today. Period.

And if it's so impossible for you to comprehend, how can you explain Peterson staying at Boise all these years, while some of the biggest gigs in college football have been draped in front of him.....Notre Dame, Michigan, Florida, USC...

But as a few wise ranters have said in other posts today, certainly no reason why Joe shouldn't give it a shot. But it's not the direction I'd spin the wheels for more than a conversation or two.
