CBS sportsline reports that Phil Bennett (Kansas State defensive coordinator) "desperately wants the job to get back to his native Texas." He interviewed this week for the job.
This is a former defensive coordinator at A&M and TCU, I believe, and has at least one brother (maybe two) who are high school coaches at solid Texas programs that crank out Division I prospects every year. Might be worth considering. I know he was very highly thought of at A&M, don't know much before that. K-State thinks the world of him, from what I've read.
