There apparently is very little chance Chris Petersen will use the Washington coaching job as a springboard to something else.
This isn't good news for NFL franchises looking for the next big thing, and it's not good news for the rest of the conference.
Petersen and the Huskies are 9-0 heading into a Saturday showdown with USC (6-3) in a matchup of what I consider two of the three best teams in the conference.
The game has the national spotlight, which means there is lots of attention focused on the way Petersen has turned Washington into a contender in three years.
