Mizzou is not going to touch Bobby Petrino.
1) He's a slimeball, and Alden won't hire a slimeball.
2) He's a huge risk, because of the chances that he will either do something shady off field that forces you to fire him or jump the first time another school shows some leg (and more cash). Mizzou is not a program that can afford having that much head coach turnover over a few years.
3) Auburn is going to back up the Brinks truck and dump way more cash than Mizzou is going to spend on Bobby Petrino.
4) Petrino, while a brilliant offensive mind and great playcaller, is not a tremendous recruiter (no better than Pinkel's staff) or defensive coach.
As for Gus Malzahn... that one definitely is interesting, and I'd like to see him considered.
