Holliday: No word on West Virginia job

Florida associate head coach John "Doc'' Holliday said Wednesday he has interviewed for the vacant head coaching position at West Virginia, but he has no idea what the status is at this point.

"To be honest with you, I haven’t heard from anybody up there,'' Holliday said Wednesday. "I haven’t gotten a call from them. I haven’t heard from anyone up there. I went up and talked to them and that’s about the extent of it. I’ve known those guys for a long time and I had a little chance to go up and spend a little time with them. We’ll see. I have no idea.''

Holliday coached at WVU from 1979-99, reaching the status of associate head coach. He left in 2000 for five years at N.C. State before coming to Florida in 2005 when Meyer was hired. In addition to being associate head coach at UF, Holliday is in charge of the Gator safeties and is the lead recruiter in south Florida.

"I spent 25 years at that university, it’s a special place,'' Holliday said. "The people up there are special and there’s nothing like going home.''
