I don't know that being a successful OC at Auburn is better for a coach's career than being a successful coach at a place like Memphis. And I think it is no real secret that Gus wants a 'big-time' HC gig ASAP. From what I've read from those who profess to know him, he thinks he is ready now. I think that Gus could easily follow Petrino's path and go to Memphis or Louisville after one yr at Auburn.

My gut tells me you have to strike while the iron is hot, and Gus is a red-hot commodity right now. Would one additional year as OC make him a better HC prospect? I really don't think so.
