Of all the names mentioned, Petersen may be the most intriguing.

In eight seasons at Boise State, he has guided the Broncos to an 82-8 record one game shy of eight complete seasons.

The first year he was the head coach after replacing Dan Hawkins in 2006, he guided Boise State to an undefeated season and a Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma.

Since then, he's been linked to just about every high-profile opening in college football. Last year, UCLA made a $4 million a year run at him, but he turned it down.

If the deal with Petersen falls through, Vanderbilt coach James Franklin is ready to accept the university's offer. It was confirmed Monday night the university has a plane out of state in North Carolina ready to fly to Nashville to pick Franklin up if Petersen says no on Tuesday, but it is clear that the Boise State coach is the No. 1 candidate right now. Franklin has tried to pressure Arkansas into choosing him immediately, but it has become clear Petersen is the choice.

Boise State still has one game left on their schedule against Nevada on Saturday afternoon with a meeting of the UA Foundation scheduled for Saturday and an announcement tentatively planned for Sunday with Petersen.

For me, I witnessed the last Boise State coach with a great record against weak opponents in Dan Hawkins. He was a total bomb when he left the blue field and went to Pac 12 (Colorado). I'll stick to a coach with Big 6 conference experience.
