Initially I think so. I think had he wanted the job and jumped at it right away it'd have been his. That's the only reason he doesn't have it. Had this happened last yr he woulda took it. The whole timing is everything line comes into play for him and since he's not Lane Kiffin he has some self respect and awareness to the point where he just didn't want to go at this point of his tenure at Neb knowing how that'd go over. Especially right smack dab in the middle of the season. Maybe after it...
But PSU can't wait that long hell they've actually waited too long already in some respects. PSU I think caved to the internet mob of fans and did what they did. Had they let the season play out first they coulda gotten say Rhule if that's who they really wanted ( I think it is) Instead they got him an extension and a raise at Neb and they are left scrounging for a coach they weren't coveting. And I'm saying that as of today not knowing who the heck they are gonna get. The rumor is BYUs coach and what an odd fit that'd be. But it hasn't happened yet either so who knows
