I'd wager actual money he does not coach any team next season. Sounds like the guy just wants a break and is taking on an administrative role at UW for the time being. No one here in Seattle can believe it.Ole Miss,Arkansas and Missouri need to get in touch with him pronto! I don't think he's retiring i think he's taking a break.
Don't be shocked if Urban Meyer winds up at USCUrban left at 56, Stoops at 55. Peterson is 54, so it isn't really too bizare. Its weird viewing that as a relatively normal age to retire for pretty much anyone else in the US that doesnt coach that makes multi-millions each year. Had a great career.
