Holtz next candidate?

footballcoachscoop.com is reporting that Butch Jones is going to be hired at Marshall, perhaps as early as Wednesday.

If this rumor proves to be true, that takes two of the top candidates off the list that were rumored to be potential replacements for Brian Kelly.

Skip Holtz has been shaking off the rumors as to now, but some rumors are swirling that he is very interested in the job.

Cincinnati AD Mike Thomas has declined to discuss the coaching search until a decision has been made.
