Boise State offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Sanford Jr. interviewed for the same spot at Ohio State to succeed the outgoing Tom Herman but has elected to remain with the Broncos, according to a source.
With Sanford considered one of college football’s brightest offensive minds, his retention is a coup for Boise State head coach Bryan Harsin.
Boise State’s offense ranks ninth in the FBS this season in scoring (39.7 points per game) and 14th in total offense (494.3 yards per game). Ohio State is the latest suitor for the 32-year-old Sanford, who had also been approached recently about offensive coordinator gigs at Oregon State and Vanderbilt.
A 2005 Boise State graduate, Sanford returned to the Broncos this season after three years as an assistant at Stanford. He coached running backs his first season with the Cardinal, was also given the responsibility of recruiting coordinator his second season and keep those extra duties when he became quarterbacks and wide receivers coach his final season.

Word from a Fox1 reporter suggest that Jedd Fisch, most recently the OC for the Jaguars (and OC at Miami (YTM)) has been offered the role of Passing Game Coordinator. Great hire if he does accept

— P. Schrager (@PSchrags) January 8, 2015 Has Anyone Ever Asked This Question? Who called Hackett?
How did Schlissel come up with Hackett? I am sure as heck glad he did..
It does make you wonder how this all went down? I have heard that back in Sept that Jim had agreed to come. Did Jack Harbaugh start the ball rolling with Moeller and Carr?
If this has been discussed I apologize..

Mike Sanford Jr - Boise State OC - Tells Urban No for OC
But but but.... per national media only Michigan gets told no when they go after coaches from other staffs. Travesty! Part of the Stanford coaching tree as well - although a Shaw guy. You'd think any 32 year old dude would go be OC for Urban because all his OCs get HC jobs soon after.
Apparently his dad was OC for Urbz at Utah. And he still said no. Damn.
The elder Sanford was Ohio State coach Urban Meyer’s offensive coordinator when the two worked together at Utah from 2003-04.
Anywho...
Brady Hoke Appreciation - They're still OHIO to him
Brady Hoke is on Sportscenter right now talking about the upcoming Ohio State v Oregon game. Right out of the gate he called them Ohio and had to correct himself to Ohio State, presumably for TV purposes.
Despite his downfall as head coach, I think we can all appreciate how much, regardless of his departure, he still loves Michigan.
Haters are gonna hate and say the Ohio schtick is old hat but I respect a guy who sticks with it despite his circumstances.
Go Blue.
EDIT: THEY'RE
