When the University of Florida was seeking a new softball coach in 2005, UF AD Jeremy Foley interviewed USF softball coach Ken Eriksen for the position. So now that Foley fired women’s basketball coach Carolyn Peck Monday, will he consider USF coach Jose Fernandez? In his seventh season at USF, Fernandez has the Bulls in line for a second consecutive NCAA Tournament and fourth consecutive postseason appearance.

Fernandez received a new contract from USF two years ago, which pays him about $128,000, which still ranks among the lowest in the BCS. Fernandez also has a $100,000 buyout if he leaves before June 30.

“Right now all I’m focused with is we’ve lost two in a row and we’re trying to get back to the NCAA Tournament,†said Fernandez, from Providence where the Bulls play the Friars Tuesday. “USF has given me a great opportunity, I love it here. All I’m concerned with is getting back to the NCAA Tournament.â€Â

Fernandez would not comment further.

flsportsfan83, you have got to be the dumbest kid around, its hilarious how you take something and spin it so that it helps to prove your point.  no coach will comment on another coaching job during a season.  use your head a little bit.

He hasn't denied interest in the San Diego Chargers head coach opening ...

He has not decided whether or not to run for President in 2008.
