Weber State football coach Jay Hill emerges as finalist for opening at New Mexico

When it plays at James Madison University in the FCS semifinals Saturday, coach Jay Hill will have taken Weber State football farther into the playoffs than it had ever been before. But the end of this Wildcats playoff run may also be the end of the line for Hill at the Ogden school

Hill is at the top of the list of candidates to take over the vacant head coaching position at New Mexico, according to the website footballscoop.com.

The position came open Nov. 25 after eighth-year coach Bob Davie and the school mutually parted ways following the Lobos’ winless Mountain West Conference campaign.
