Is Candle headed to Central Florida?

Toledo head coach Jason Candle runs onto the field to greet Akron head coach Terry Bowden seconds after winning the MAC Championship football game at Ford Field in Detroit.

It was all but inevitable. A suitor has come calling on Jason Candle.

The Orlando Sentinel reported the Toledo football coach is atop Central Florida’s shortlist to replace the Nebraska-bound Scott Frost.

We could not confirm details of the reputed courtship — I do not believe there has been much of one yet — but it would neither be surprising if the Knights came hard after Candle or if Candle gave the gig a look.
