The Houston Chronicle reported very early Wednesday morning that Calhoun has interviewed with Texas A&M for their head-coaching vacancy on Tuesday. A&M athletic director Bill Byrne has been interviewing candidates in New York City to replace Mike Sherman, who was fired last week by the Aggies. Interestingly, Calhoun’s former AFA defensive coordinator, Tim DeRuyter, is A&M’s coordinator and will serve as the Aggies’ interim head coach for their bowl game. Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart and Houston head coach Kevin Sumlin have also reportedly interviewed for the position. We’ve also been told a current Pac-12 coach has expressed an interest in the vacancy, although the extent of that interest or whether an interview has taken place cannot be confirmed. Additionally, reports have surfaced that an individual with third-party ties to A&M has approached Clemson’s Dabo Swinney.
Southern Miss’ Larry Fedora was also a candidate for the Aggies job, but accepted an offer from North Carolina Tuesday.
