Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell has dismissed rumors linking him with the vacant USC job.
“Look, I don’t talk to anybody—I barely talk to my own family during the season,” he said Tuesday. “So I wouldn’t ever talk about it, nor would I even answer a phone call or anything like that. … It’s nothing but distractions if people allow it to be, and for us it can’t be.”
