Haha...don't hold your breath. Also, beware the cautionary tale of Pat Sullivan circa 1996/1997 after the LSU debacle...

If memory serves correct, he became TCU coach had a couple of good years and bolted for the limelight and money. He bombed at LSU.

Actually he never coached at LSU, they couldn't negotiate the buyout, so he stayed at TCU and sucked in 96 and 97( you might remember 97, our only win was SMU to keep you out of your first bowl since the death penalty) then he was gone.

Get June out of there, its not worth him coming back if he doesn't want to be there, that is the Sullivan 'cautionary tale'
