However, the opportunity to hire a coach near Leach's ability without any of his baggage could be considered a victory. But as Kansas football fans now know all too well, games are won in the fall, not in press conferences in December. $3 Sam Adams Draughs >2 bacarol shoots It was rumored that Zenger had been setting up interviews earlier this week. It has been confirmed that on Wednesday he was not in Lawrence, said associate athletics director Jim Marchiony, and possibly out interviewing the candidates who remain on his wish list. With Zenger's background as a coach and his track record of hiring a football coach at Illinois State, combined with the bounty of good candidates still available, KU fans should not worry about who Zenger chooses for next season. didates doesn't stop at Leach. And it certainly doesn't stop at the three aforementioned coaches. 14581234567890 Conference: Pac-12 Previous Coach: Rick Neuheisel (21-28 in four seasons) Chris Foster of the Los Angeles Times reported that Boise State coach Chris Peterson is at the top of the list to rebuild the Bruins program, which hasn't won a conference title since 1998. Status: Fired Arizona State Conference: PAC-12 Previous Coach: Dennis Erickson (31-30 in five seasons) Status: Fired Houston's Kevin Sumlin is emerging as the favorite, but according to the Washington Post, he's had several conversations with the Houston Athletic Director about a contract extension to stay at Houston. Sumlin also said no other school has contacted him. The Chicago Tribune reported that Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz is interested in the job. Edited by Mandy Matney Ole Miss Conference: SEC Previous Coach: Huston Nutt (24-26 in four seasons) Status: Fired Southern Mississippi coach Larry Fedora has been heavily linked to the job, as well as Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart, but the sporting news reported Smart has not interviewed with Ole Miss yet. Previous Coach: Butch Davis (12-23 in four seasons with 16 wins vacated) Status: Fired Y Interim coach Evertet Withers interviewed for the job after leading the Tail Heels to a 7-5 record this season. The Tar Heels could try and sneak popular Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, or they could make a stretch, which CBSSports.com Gregg Doyel says they should do, and hire Randy Shannon to clean up their program. 1
