>he would have left. It's just a better job.. point, blank
>period.

i dont necessarily agree with this.

poaching another team's active coach is not an easy task. which is why i thought stoops was a pipe dream and why i even think getting pellini would have been no small feat.

i have no factual basis to this opinion but i really think meyer was thinking about OSU as a '5 years down the line type thing'. freak shit happened with JT and the opportunity fell in his lap and it was just too hard to turn down.
