On the Verge: Illinois offensive coordinator could be a wanted man

Petrino knows how to coach, and he knows how the play the game. In his mind, he was prepared to be a head coach while serving as offensive coordinator at Arkansas for his brother, who called the shots for the Razorbacks offense.

"I was ready two years ago," he said. "It's going to have to be a great situation. I have a real good thing right here. My wife and kids like it here. You coach your butt off, do your best, see what's best for your family and make the best decision."
