Sources: Addazio staying at Temple
Unless something drastically changes, Steve Addazio will remain Temple’s football coach, according to sources.
“He’s not going to Rutgers,” said one source with inside knowledge.
Multiple reports have put Addazio among the leading candidates for the Scarlet Knights job, which opened up Thursday when Greg Schiano was hired by the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Addazio replaced Al Golden at Temple in December 2010. The former Florida offensive coordinator led the Owls to a 9-4 record and a 37-15 victory over Wyoming in the New Mexico Bowl in his first season at Temple.
This is at least the second time in three months that Addazio was linked to a coaching vacancy. He was mentioned as a possible candidate for the Illinois job after Ron Zook was fired in November.
Addazio, however, stated that he wasn't interested in the Illinois job and wanted to remain in the Northeast, close to his hometown of Farmington, Conn.

Too bad New Jersey's high school coaches didn't want Addazio. I thought Rutgers could do worse. Oh well. Seems like it's Flood or Cristobal. Either guy can realistically take Rutgers to a BCS bowl next year.— twash- I hope Daz stays at Temple.— xxx
- twash = ball. those of us on the Temple message boards know what that means.— lonestar2000
- Owl fans-Daz is staying! TU now getting the recruits other schools wanted. Get your popcorn ready for some fun Temple football just like our hoops teams!— skipdog
- So NJ high school coaches are the deciding factor in who their next coach is?
