Coach Meyer just confirmed Luke will be calling the defense.

Any idea if he's expected to be THE DC, or the primary co-DC?

Edit: Just saw your post in Coach Meyer's board...nvm

Iowa State's Rhoads might be No. 1 candidate

Pitt will not use a search firm to help identify candidates as it begins the hunt for a football coach to replace Todd Graham, and that is a sign the university already has a short list of candidates.

In fact, according to sources, the school already is reaching out to candidates, including Ohio State defensive coordinator Luke Fickell, who served as the interim coach of the Buckeyes this season, Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads, Florida State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops, Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst, Northern Illinois coach Dave Doeren and former Illinois and Florida coach Ron Zook.

FYI, the timeline is hilarious...

Luke has interviewed for the Pitt job according to Dave Biddle

No, No, No, No, No!!!

I want Fick staying in Columbus, learning under UFM, growing more and then be ready to take the helm when UFM is ready to retire for good.

Well, that is interesting.

I'm wondering, has Luke interviewed for any other jobs before? He might be trying to get some experience with interviewing? don't know, just a thought.

Dumb move if he goes to Pitt. Since Sherrill left, that place has been where careers go to die. Much better to stay with UM for 3-4 years, win a NC and then see what kind of HC opportunities are out there.

I'll support Fickell wherever his career takes him, but I just think this would not be the right move.

Sources very close to Luke Fickell say he hasn't been responsive when asked about #Pitt rumors as of yet. Could be fire with the smoke

Saw this on Twitter. On no inside info or anything, I feel he'll stick with Ohio State and Urban.

It all depends on what his goals are. Does he want to be a HC? Is he content living in his hometown as a career Assitant at his Alma Mater. If he aspires to be a HC the Pitt job is way ahead of a MAC like opportunity. The time to move is now if offered the job IMHO.

He has interviewed for the Pitt job per Ken Gordon on twitter.

I don't disagree with this and no one could blame him for taking the Pitt job.

"To me there is no other place for me to go in college football and that's the way I feel about Ohio State," Fickell said while appearing on the Gator Bowl teleconference Sunday evening.
