I've been offered multiple head coaching jobs since I left. Not one. Multiple. For really good money too. Didn't interview with any of them.
Why?
Just didn't want to do it. Just really wasn't interested. Obviously when (Kansas) presented this, I talked to them. I thought somebody else was getting the job that night, from what everyone had told me. When (Florida coach Will) Muschamp and I talked in the morning, he said, 'So-and-so is going to get the job tonight, but if you want to talk to them, go talk to them.' That guy was waiting for that phone call when I was on a plane flying to Lawrence, I guess. That's really how it all went down. When I sat down to talk to Kansas, you didn't know where this was headed. And five and a half hours later, it was a totally different ballgame.

I've been in Mississippi and Alabama all week. Down here, people are saying that Gus turned down the offer or told Zenger that he was removing himself from consideration as if its common knowledge. They think he chose Arkansas State over Kansas.
The only way that makes sense to me is if he thinks he can launch himself into a better gig from ASU easier than from KU.
