Is it Bellotti or Petersen? The momentum is swinging toward the Boise State head coach.

I think you wrote this article just for me. I am going to assume it is gospel and ignore any other rumors.

Pay attention to my entire article though. Even though this one slants toward Petersen, I do discuss the Bellotti situation and as Chris Bonney hinted on our website four (4) days ago, an Arizona offer to Bellotti has been on the table since Tues/Wed of this week.

Well you just took all the gusto out of my sails, Gary. I got the impression that when G.B. canned Mike the basic elements of an understanding were in place.

If Bellotti...then it would be announced ASAP. If Petersen...then they wait until later so as not to upset the apples in Boise for their BOWL GAME...hope

Since the other article mentioned a "hollywood moment"... and the candidate is rumored to be in attendance... does that mean we should be expecting an "OMG Roger Clemens is in George's box" type moment?

Man, Gary, I hope you know how much you play with our emotions with articles like this. And, I sincerely hope you would only run with this type of headline with some seriously confirmed insider info.
The whole timeline picture with the two coaches you paint doesn't make much sense at this point, in fact it is quite contradictory; maybe it will when all is said and done.
You guys seem to have different info daily. While this is fun and exciting on some levels I truly hope you don't run this stuff just to keep us on the line....

Keep up the good work, Gary. I think we all yearn for this thing to be resolved quickly and your updates are keeping me engaged. It sure beats interpreting it on my own.

You should know by now that I don't sensationalize anything for exposure. It's not what I'm about as a journalist. If it was I would have sold my soul for more money years ago.
I got a text another text around 10 PM last night that basically said Bellotti "wants to coach" and may take the Arizona gig so he doesn't miss out on an opportunity.
I agree, the two different coaching stories contradict one another. All I can tell you is the sources for each are solid and high level, but sources for each come from different circles so it's no surprise they paint such a unique picture for each coach.
I wouldn't be surprised one iota if the Petersen news turns out to be a smokescreen to buy Bellotti some time to make his decision and allow Arizona to make the announcement on "its terms." Then again, we heard from Day 1 it was going to be Petersen all along, and last night was the first time in about a week that Petersen's name surfaced with something substantial that I could run with.

Fair enough. Not trying to be a d***, and I enjoy and trust your work, but sadly my daily moods are way too tied into my Wildcats. : )

Not to twist you guys in knots, but check the "Bonney" thread. Major development, which fits the picture we've painted.
I know you're not PDXCAT. This is what happens when our entire staff works the phones hard. We get all sides of the story and sometimes the sources conflict, which is why we ran the "separate" stories.

Sooo... Bellotti "might" take the AZ job because he doesn't want to miss out on a coaching job, and is waiting for UCLA or ASU? Dude, seriously, go work at McDonalds! WE WANT PETERSEN ANYWAY!
