Scoop: Huskies Pursuing Hill?

Sources close to Fresno State Coach Pat Hill tell Football Rumor Mill that informal contact has been made with the coach regarding the soon to be vacant Washington job.

Rumors were swirling just a few weeks ago that Hill would be the favorite for the Arizona job should Mike Stoops be shown the door. That appears less likely now, although it’s still a very real possibility.

Could there be a bidding war in the offing for Hill? Would he leave? It’s difficult to say. Hill is said to be very comfortable in Fresno. It is believed the coach would listen to a substantial offer from a major BCS school with the resources and desire to compete at the highest levels. That scenario would seem to favor Washington and their President Mark Emmert who helped build a national power at LSU over Arizona, a team that has never even been to the Rose Bowl.
