Sources have told us both Stanford coordinators (Mike Bloomgren and Lance Anderson) have a good shot at the job. We are also told LSU offensive coordinator Matt Canada is seeking an interview.

Bruce Feldman tweeted both Stanford coordinators and South Carolina offensive coordinator (and former Owl) Kurt Roper as potential candidates as well.

Canada just wrapped up his first regular season as offensive coordinator with LSU. Head coach Ed Orgeron said during his Texas A&M postgame press conference that he wouldn't be surprised if Canada were to pursue head coaching opportunities now that the regular season is over.
