Athletic director Steve Pederson said he interviewed five coaches before hiring Michael Haywood, but only four were known.

Anything to get Mark May off ESPN. I think he might be the only person in football as dumb as Matt Millen.

Mike Locksley (UNM) punching out his assistant coach before the UNLV game in '09 comes to mind.
