[QUOTE="Limey Frog, post: 3343820, member: 16969"] Yes, GP is clearly the fall-back option, which strongly suggests exactly what many of us said at the end of 2021 when he leaked his interest in coaching again in future: his ceiling in the market is probably a G5 job, which seems entirely beneath him and wouldn't give him a chance to prove any of what he seems to still feel a need to prove. Is he still young enough to put in 2-3 good years at somewhere like UTEP then convince a P5 school that he's got 4-5 more good years still in the tank for them? By that point you're asking an AD to sell his alumni-donor base on a hire that intentionally plans for having a nearly 70-year-old coach. Or is GP thinking he'd take UTEP and make it be his last job? If so, what can he possible do there that he hasn't done already? I guess he just loves coaching so much that he'd rather be doing it anywhere than nowhere. I hope that's what it is. I'd just hang out and enjoy the absolute freedom that wealth affords, personally, but head coaches are just wired differently. [/QUOTE]
