But I've just got here and we haven't had many conversations in the last week. It's about spending…...

Publicly, though, nothing was confirmed, and Golesh kept coaching a Bulls team that surged to a nine-win regular season and blowout wins over UAB and Rice. Right after USF's 52-3 demolition of Rice, Golesh was asked directly about a report that had effectively labeled him "the next Arkansas coach." Speaking to reporters, he pushed back hard, saying the story did not come from him and was simply not true, as…...
