But u didn't argue ALL the objective points, only ones that ignored lsu's advantages; which a lot of objective observers would likely say outweigh all that tcu has. It was said time and again that he's not leaving. Peterson is looking at stanford as we speak

Of course I didn't - I'm arguing why it's not likely. Not the other way around. That's YOUR job on this post. So wow me. What are the objective reasons which counter those I've provided here, and others on the board today that you've attempted to discard? And PS, don't use money - TCU has plenty of cash, and will pay whatever it takes to keep Patterson. The stakes are just too high not to.

As for Peterson, I've heard his name mentioned in association with Stanford, but seen nothing on the web that indicates he's seriously entertaining an offer. Please provide link. Even if he is, it only furthers my point....it's all about the state of affairs TODAY. Peterson just went to a second tier bowl, and he made what proved to be a bad chess move switching to the MWC, only to see Utah and TCU jump for greener pastures within months. Factors that might lead a coach to finally think about moving up. Not even close to the factors Gary Patterson is facing at the moment.
