More on the coaching search


Posted at 4:46 pm by John Boyle

Washington’s coaching search is obviously the big story around the UW this week, so let’s quickly wrap up what we know so far.

News today is that Jim Mora is apparently out as a candidate (see post below). Mora issued a statement over a month ago saying he’s not a candidate, but rumors continued to persist that he would still become Washington’s next coach. With him seeming out of the picture for real now, here’s a rundown of some other names.

The biggest news this week is that Texas Tech’s Mike Leach came to Seattle for an interview.

The Huskies may have competition for Leach, however, as it was announced today that Auburn is parting ways with Tommy Tuberville. According to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, Auburn has contacted Leach about the job. Leach also stands to get a nice raise if he stays at Texas Tech, as word from Lubbock is that the school is trying to sign him to an extension. His trip to Seattle might have earned Leach a pretty big pay raise if nothing else.

Fresno State head coach Pat Hill has interviewed for the job, and according to the L.A. Daily News,
USC offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian has also interviewed last week.

The only other candidate known to have interviewed is Notre Dame offensive coordinator Michael Haywood, but he’s seen as a long-shot candidate at best.

Boise State’s Chris Petersen’s name has come up as a potential candidate, but he has said he plans on staying in Boise, and it is thought that the school is working on an extension with him. Tuesday’s news that Chip Kelly will replace Mike Bellotti at Oregon could help the Huskies if they are pursuing Petersen, however, as Petersen has long been thought to have interest in the Oregon Job. Perhaps now he’d consider Washington more now that the Oregon job is off the table.

Cincinnati’s Brian Kelly told Cincinnati Enquirer he was contacted by UW, but now word from Cincinnati is that Kelly will stay there.

Utah’s Kyle Whittingham is another potential candidate, but Utah athletic director Chris Hill
told the Salt Lake Tribune that he’s trying to extend Whittingham’s contract.

Finally, Cal coach Jeff Tedford said Monday on a conference call that he has not been contacted by Washington.
