Interesting stuff being tossed out on some UCLA sites.
DeWayne Walker interviewed for the San Diego State job, and got a recommendation from Pete Carroll. He's also supposedly involved in the NMSU head coach search. And Sarkisian apparently sent out feelers to him for possible going up to Washington be Sark's DC, but Walker said no (seems he is only interested in head coaching positions, not a lateral move). Although Carroll is always supportive of his former assistants, I found it funny (and obvious) that he should recommend Walker here, considering how much issues Walker's D's have presented him since he's come to Westwood.

Auburn talks to UGA assistant about coaching vacancy | [email protected]
Georgia assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator Rodney Garner has talked to Auburn about its head coaching vacancy. The Tigers are searching for a replacement for Tommy Tuberville since he left the job last week following a 5-7 season. “Auburn University, my alma mater, contacted me recently about its open head coaching position,” Garner, an Alabama native who played for the Tigers from 1984-88, said through a Georgia spokesman. “Based on my respect for the Auburn program, we had a conversation about that opportunity.” The 42-year old Garner, also the Bulldogs’ defensive line coach, is in his 11th season on the Georgia staff. The former Tiger, who was an All-SEC offensive lineman and team captain at Auburn in 1988, served as an Auburn assistant from 1990-95. The Birmingham News reported that Garner interviewed on Sunday with Auburn officials. Miami offensive coordinator Patrick Nix, another former Tiger, also was to interview. Buffalo coach Turner Gill and Ball State coach Brady Hoke are reportedly also potential candidates, along with Florida State offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher — another former Auburn assistant — and Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson. Reached by phone Monday by the Banner-Herald, Garner referred questions to the Georgia spokesman, who released the statement. “My family and I love Athens and the University of Georgia and are completely happy here,” Garner said. “I’m sure the process will take its proper course and I don’t think it would be appropriate to comment further at this time.”

There was a rumor that Yale sent out feelers to Willingham for their vacant head coaching spot. It would definitely be a step down both financially and in stature, and not necessarily an upgrade in job security (alumni hounding probably played a role in the "retirement" of the previous Yale coach)... |

Georgia running backs coach eyed for head coaching job at UTC | [email protected]
Georgia running backs coach Tony Ball expressed interest in the head coaching job at his alma mater after it opened in October. Now, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wants to speak to Ball. The Southern Conference school asked for and received permission to talk to Ball about the position, Georgia coach Mark Richt said this afternoon through an athletic spokesman. Ball, completing his third season on the Bulldogs staff, said Saturday that he wanted to speak to UTC officials about their possible interest in him as a candidate to replace Rodney Allison. “I would like to talk to them just to kind of see if there is that possibility,” said Ball, who starred at running back and kick returner from 1977-80 at the school. “More importantly, I want to see what direction Chattanooga is going. It’s been a long time. It’s time for us to get it right up there.”

Locksley had his first press conference at New Mexico today. He talked about building on the foundation laid by Rocky Long, and recruiting hard in Texas. I didn't realize he was only 39. He seems like a good hire, although as others have said, its a bit of an odd fit. He's known for recruiting the east coast, not Texas or California.

Local station is reporting that Kevin Wilson is most likely heading to Mississippi State to be their next football coach. Sources say he's been offered the job, but it's unclear if he has accepted the position.

Interesting. He is RichRod's boy and RichRod said he was going to Oklahoma this summer to discuss offense with him. Apparently they do it every year but couldn't last year with all he had to do. |

That'll be a tough loss before the Championship. Wilson has been a fantastic offensive coordinator (and looked even better following Chuck Long).

I think I'm remembering that RichRod came to visit Northwestern and that's kind of where he took off with the spread offense/option. Wilson was the coordinator there when Kustok and Anderson were there. He left to become OU's offensive line coach after Mangino left following 2001 season and OU promoted Chuck Long. He'll certainly be missed as I felt that the offense really took it to the next level once Long left and even in his first game during the 2005 Holiday Bowl, the offense felt more imaginative and much smoother. |

Dola-- It looks like Wilson won't be leaving and Florida Offensive Coordinator, Dan Mullen will be the new head coach at Mississippi State.

Better be careful, a few more switches and they're liable to end up with Patrick Nix. And, evil though I may be, there's precious few teams I'd wish that on.

ECU sources are now reporting that Skip Holtz has turned down the Syracuse job. My guess is that they were offering a lot less than he originally expected salary-wise.

That's what the initial reports about his turning the job down said. Neither has been confirmed. My guess is SU said they need an answer now, and while the Auburn job is still open, the answer is no.

Report is Muschamp will be named Auburn coach Friday.
Wonder how much that'll set Auburn back with a buyout? EDIT: Might be premature, but saw a few reports on it. Last edited by DeToxRox : 12-12-2008 at 12:55 AM. |

I wonder, too, but it does make some sort of sense. Texas would be a better gig, but how long will it be before Mack Brown retires? I think between him and Jimbo, he has the longer wait before he goes "head coach in waiting" to actual head coach. |

So, Auburn is interviewing ISU's coach.
Chizik serious candidate for Auburn job | ajc.com In other words, Auburn is officially interviewing every coach with a pulse that will talk with them. I wonder how excited the boosters that ran Tommy off are now? The chances they are moving up in coaches get smaller and smaller. |

Its kind of like how Alabama's search went a couple of years ago, and they ended up with Nick Saban. Auburn could still end up with somebody good. But yeah, it is a bit absurd what's going on there.

Well, I guess Bill Belicheck could resign from New England or something. That's how Saban suddenly became available.

Iowa State's Gene Chizik will be the next Auburn coach, Rivals.com has learned.
Gene Chizik is the new coach at Auburn. Chizik has been the coach of the Cyclones the last two years, compiling a 5-19 record. Iowa State finished 2-10 (0-8 in the Big 12) in 2008. Chizik was defensive coordinator at Auburn from 2002-04, helping the Tigers go 13-0, win the SEC championship and finish ranked No. 2 in the nation. That year, he won the Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant coach. edit: ensuing meltdownage: http://auburn.rivals.com/forum.asp?sid=884&fid=423 Last edited by MJ4H : 12-13-2008 at 02:08 PM. |
