Pitt still maintains that Stanford has not contacted them regarding interviewing Coach Walt Harris for their vacant head coaching job. That hasn’t changed any reports, though, that he will be talking to Stanford this week.
Now that Jeff Tedford is staying at California, Washington is looking around some more. Ty Willingham is still mentioned, but now Harris is even being mentioned for that job. (check out the end of the article to see the pay for all PAC-10 coaches). Actually Washington must be getting nervous. If you can believe it (and I’m not sure I can) Tom O’Brien at Boston College is starting to be rumored as a candidate. If that becomes the case, I think that would fully qualify as failing upward. Can you imagine tanking game to win the Big East title and getting a better paying, higher profile job?
Strange coaching year.
