USF receivers coach Mike Canales confirmed Wednesday night that he will not be leaving USF for the head coaching vacancy at his alma mater, Utah State. Canales was a finalist for the job, but the Aggies have agreed to terms with Utah defensive coordinator Gary Andersen.
It's the second time in the past year that a USF offensive assistant has sought a return to his alma mater -- Greg Gregory expressed an interest in the head coaching job at Richmond after last season, but Virginia defensive coordinator Mike London got the job.
Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
Canales should be promoted to Head Coach - USF Football.

This is good news. Coach Canales is very well respected by other coaches and the players and is a top-notch coach. I hope he stays along time at USF.
