Petersen not going to Mississippi State

Statement from Petersen

After a day of speculation, rumors and Internet reports, Boise State coach Chris Petersen felt compelled to issue a statement about the Mississippi State coaching position.
Boise State released this statement from Petersen on Friday night:
“I have a lot of respect for director of athletics Greg Byrne and the Mississippi State athletic program, but I am not taking the head coaching position at Mississippi State.
“Mississippi State has not offered me the head coaching position. I normally do not comment on coaching positions at other schools, but felt I needed to do so in this situation.
