USC coaching search: Is Air Force's Troy Calhoun a candidate?

In today's USA Today, the newspaper released a list of 10 candidates for the USC head coach opening, and a familiar name from Colorado Springs was included on that list.

With the decision of University of Southern California athletic director Pat Haden to first give embattled head coach Steve Sarkisian a leave of absence and then 24 hours later fire the coach, one of the most prestigious jobs in college football is now open. And speculation is already starting to spread as to who will replace Sarkisian and lead the Trojans next year.

That speculation has included Air Force Falcons Head Coach Troy Calhoun.
