College Football: Coaching Search Update (Part 8) — Interviews have commenced

• Three candidates have been scheduled to or have interviewed Tuesday with Texas State president Dr. Denise M. Trauth, Director of Athletics Dr. Larry Teis and Parker Executive Search — San Diego State defensive coordinator Rocky Long, Nebraska offensive coordinator Shawn Watson and former Minnesota head coach Tim Brewster.
• From what I've been told by sources, both Long and Watson left those in attendance impressed. Brewster, according to another source, is set to interview Tuesday night in Austin.
  
• It seems as if Brewster is trying very hard for the job, coming to Austin to interview and reportedly studying up on the players he'd inherit as well as having a staff in mind should he get the job.
• Expect Oklahoma defensive assistant Bobby Jack Wright to interview Wednesday with former Colorado head coach Dan Hawkins to put in a late charge soon after, according to a source.
• Former Texas A&M head coach Dennis Franchione won't interview on campus, according to a source.
• When asked about the candidates, one player said he "...liked everyone they have named" and when it comes to the type of style he'd like to see the coach bring, the player said he "...likes the balanced attack but we need to take some more chances downfield."
