* One source tells us Northern Illinois coach Dave Doeren and Kent State coach Darrell Hazell are very serious players at NC State.

* Mercury news reports "Former Raiders coach Hue Jackson expressed interest in the Cal football job, and luring Chris Petersen away from Boise State might not be as far-fetched as some Bears fans think." Utah State coach Gary Andersen, La. Tech coach Sonny Dykes and San Jose State coach Mike MacIntyre are also considered to be strong candidates.

* AuburnUndercover reports that up to 10 candidates are in contention for the Auburn job. FSU coach Jimbo Fisher and former Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino being among the highest profile.

* Former ESPN analyst and Pitt coach Mike Gottfried told AuburnUndercover that he thinks Auburn could hire bobby Petrino:

"I think Auburn has him on their list and I believe they could hire him. Everybody makes mistakes. I have had people tell me he's the best offensive guy they've ever worked with."

Can't wait to find out if Holtz is going or staying. Interesting rumors about Jimbo Fisher but I highly doubt he'd leave FSU.

Fisher wants a SEC level program... He can't get that at FSU as long as they're in the ACC. He would bolt to Auburn or UT if offered in a New York minute.

How credible is 247 sports? Is it on par with Bleacher Report or a bit more legit?

Right now, Bulls247 is the best premium site for USF when it comes to recruiting and program information. Justin Pawlowski (Pre and Post game analyst for bulls football)is now on the site as well as Chris Nee, Josh Newburg and Kyle Bennett. That is where this information is coming from.

That said, the info comes from all of their 247 people across the country.... They're right much more often than wrong.
