Locksley Denies Being Interviewed

Well: Sources 1, Media 0.

Now Meet Mike Locksley’s Wife

Meet Mike (of) Locksley

Well, there’s apparently another “candidate” on the WVU coaching horizon: Mike Locksley. If you haven’t heard that name, don’t fret. Before this week, neither had I — neither had most anyone else. Of course, when you have your name show up on a message board 4 million times in 2 days, people start to know who you are.

If you still don’t know, Mike Locksley is the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at the University of Illinois. Locksley started his major coaching career at Maryland in 1997, first serving only as the running backs coach and then assuming the title of recruiting coordinator in 1998. He joined the staff of Ron Zook at Florida in 2003 in the same capacity. When Zook was fired in 2004, Locksley followed Zook to Illinois, being promoted to offensive coordinator.
