        Any relation between the Duke assistant and co-author of Majerus' autobiography?

          I sure hope not. It doesn't make sense for Utah to offer the job.

          Of course, it also doesn't make sense for Rice to turn down Wyoming. Wyoming is about as good of a job that he could expect unless he thinks that taking a better job in a lower tier conference is a better means to advance his career.

            1280 is saying Steve Wojo was contacted by Utah. Anyone know if that is true?

                I have heard it in enough places to think it has some legs. His wife is from Utah, so I think that is some of the draw for him. If we end up taking an assistant, I would prefer Dave Rice to Wojo.

                    Sadly I agree

                        I will take it if it means they actually play defense :igiveup:

                          I think he is on the list of those who have been contacted. I'd be surprised if he's very high on the list. My guess is that he is the only assistant on it.

                              Almost positive he's not. I found out about this book standing outside the terminal of LAX in 1998 -- about six months after the FF run -- from someone high on the chain of command at the publisher of said book. Pretty sure he told me there's no relation when I asked, and added that Wojciechowski isn't that uncommon of a name in Polish communities on the East Coast -- although the author carries the most undecidedly East Coast birthplace of Salina, Kan. (as well as being a Tennessee alum). Steve Wojo is from Baltimore.
