The Cincinnati Bearcats have wasted no time finding their next head coach, tapping Ohio State defensive coordinator Luke Fickell as the man to lead the program.
Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com reported Fickell and Cincinnati agreed to a deal Friday, and it is expected to be announced Saturday. Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports confirmed the agreement.
Fickell may not be the only person from Columbus joining the Bearcats, as Tom Groeschen of the Cincinnati Enquirer reported Ohio State defensive backs coach Kerry Coombs could join Fickell's staff as defensive coordinator.
