Mark my words... Petrino will NOT be leaving my beloved Hogs! Sure, if any college could take him away it would probably be UF. But the thing is... there is soooo little upside for him in it. Sure a bit more money and easier recruiting, but at what cost?

He'll prove every hater from Cali to Atlanta that all of the ESPiN pundits and MSM were right to call him a drifter and an opportunist with no loyalty. He'll piss off the one fan base that completely united behind him (and collectively gave the media the middle finger) when everyone else was bashing him. He throws away the chance to take a team that everyone writes off as second tier (Thanks Nutt!) all the way to the BCS MNC -- and lets face it, that could very well be next year. He and his family LOVE Arkansas and Arkansas LOVES Petrino. Our AD (Long) has given Petrino carte blanche and has already (rumored) placed an extension with pay raises annually for both Petrino AND his assistants (at Petrino's request), a HEAVY buyout, and pretty much everything else Petrino could want. When Petrino got to Arkansas he asked for new/upgraded facilities, he got all $30+ million worth of upgrades.

Essentially what he has at Arkansas is about the best you can get. A chance to prove yourself as a coach... To build, in the face of adversity, an elite program. To beat the giants with the underdogs. The love of an entire state, a united fan base, a program that stands 100% behind him. And recruits coming in by the droves to play under him.

If he goes to UF he has to contend with Meyer being over his shoulder -- which he'll hate. A fan base that is NOT on board, a program that is so highly touted that if you lose a game you're in the hot seat... Not to mention 2+ yrs of installing a drastically different program before the real results start showing. An AD that is not as likely to give carte blanche... And he ruins his chance to repair his rep and give a fat FU to the media that has hated on him non-stop since Atlanta.

Just sayin'.
