Petey is the uncrowned king of LA (maybe up there with the Hollywood glitteratti) to the football fans (remember USC is the only pro team there), UCLA folks are always lurking in the weeds. So it would take plenty to get him out of that cozy little nest. Ego, hey, as one gets older, one's ego gets 'settled' and is able to cope with not being the best at everything. I expect he's making much more money than is published, so that's not an issue, so why rebuild a pro team?

However, ego is still there, and just because one is asked to go to the dance, doesn't mean that one has to accept. Buuuuut, Petey still yearns to be asked. And as long as he goes on an occassional interview, he's still 'in play'. No harm, no foul, and it keeps SC administration on their toes.

Great Post!! He is so transparent, imagine JT pulling that crap!
