Yep and we all know who it was.
The fact nobody was coming for him for other DC or HC opportunities was evidence it didn't work out like CNS thought.It’s a tough spot for sure. He could recruit, he was willing to work, I can just imagine Saban kneeling by his bed and night, “Lord please let that switch flip for Pete, he’s so dang close.”
