Luke Fickell isn't focused on the head coaching vacancy at Notre Dame. Not yet at least.
The University of Cincinnati football coach, who has been linked to the Fighting Irish job since Brian Kelly left South Bend to take over the LSU program, said Tuesday his only focus is on Saturday's American Athletic Conference championship game against Houston at Nippert Stadium.
"There is no speculation," Fickell said. "Is the job open? I guess it is. But I wouldn't know if somebody didn't tell me. It's the same way I am with rankings.
