From the link above:

Canesport.com is reporting that Miami offensive coordinator Mark Whipple is the leading candidate to become the new head coach at South Florida.

Skip Holtz was assumed to be the No. 1 guy a couple of days ago but Canesport.com reports that Whipple, Florida assistant Dan McCarney and Michigan assistant Calvin Magee have moved ahead. Magee interviewed on Tuesday.

I do, though, have reservations about them being able to give him a significant raise from the reported $1.6 million he makes at ECU. If USF literally puts their money where their collective mouth is, I would be surprised and impressed.

Also, I would still rather see Magee get a more traditional "starter" job like BGSU, Toledo, Miami of Ohio, or even GVSU than USF at this point. It is important that Magee stay from potential "career-killer" jobs until he is finally allowed to build a resume with head coaching experience.

And, make no mistake about it, USF is a potential career-killer for a coach without a hefty resume to back him up.
