"I don't know what there is to address," Fickell said about the opening. "I don't talk to a whole lot of people. There is nothing. That's the crazy thing. It's all whatever is being said out there and different things. There is no speculation. Is the job open? I guess it is. I wouldn't know if someone didn't tell me. Most importantly, all I care about is the guys on this team."

According to BetOnline, Fickell has the second-lowest odds to take over the job, behind Notre Dame defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman.
