Any SBC coaches will be looked at?

Head coaches? Is UTEP better than any job in the Sun Belt? Maybe Idaho, solely because they're moving to FCS.

They don't have the money to pay for one of our HCs even if they wanted that job. They paid their coach less than 600k

Beau Baldwin somehow never got an FBS job despite years of winning at EWU. Craig Bohl had to win 3 FCS titles in a row before finally getting an FBS job, and even then it was only at a bad Wyoming team. FCS coaches don't get hired all that often.

None of what you said is relevant to what I said.

"Winning in the FCS will do more for Petrino than anything that could be done at UTEP."

If he wants to retire at UTEP, then it would be a good move. Otherwise, he has more to gain staying put.

But thanks to the long rebuild required when he took the Idaho job his career W/L record is still an ugly 17-35. That record plus his not-always-winning personality likely would make him a hard sell to the boosters at the better G5 programs, but it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up on another rebuild job at a low-profile school like UTEP.

I highly doubt he leaves, Petrino is a family man.
-He played at a NAIA school that his dad coached him and his brothers at.
-He and his brother coached under their dad.
-Paul followed Bobby to multiple stops including Arkansas.
-Now that his son is on the team at Idaho he's going to leave? His son is a very poor FBS QB and wouldn't be anything better than a walk-on anywhere else.
-His contract expires after his son's senior year. He was given a school record extension and a raise after a 4-8 season including blowing a 24 point lead in Las Cruces. The school can't afford to pay a buyout, why would he walk away from that? I fully expect him to leave after this contract though.
