Mike Leach Contacted by Miami

Canesport.com is reporting Miami has contacted Texas Tech HC Mike Leach for an interview, confirming what we reported on Thursday that Leach appeared to be the leading candidate. ESPN.com's Joe Schad reports Friday that Greg Schiano has cooled on the Miami job. We have reported for two weeks here that Schiano was unlikely to leave Rutgers for Miami especially with Joe Paterno likely coaching only a few more seasons at Penn State.

Leach would be a good choice for Miami. He has done very well in Lubbock with second tier talent, and his offensive scheme would certainly help recruiting and putting fans in the stands for UM.
