Among the names tied to the Duke job: former UCLA coach Karl Dorrell, recently fired by the Bruins.
As Duke seeks a new coach and a few wins on the football field, at the other end of the state, Appalachian is building a dynasty: after two championships, and the shocking upset of Michigan earlier this season, the Mountaineers are in position to win a third straight title. If they pull that off, it's going to be one of the greatest sports accomplishments in state history, and will rank high on some other lists as well. The funniest - and coolest - part of it is that ASU is now, without question, the best football program in the state.
