Fresno State football coach Pat Hill confirmed Sunday he has interviewed for the University of Washington head coaching job.
Speaking 30 minutes before Sunday's team awards banquet at the Fresno Convention Center, Hill said he spent Saturday in Seattle talking to Washington officials.
Hill, 56, seemed perturbed having to discuss his interview. He walked away before any questions could be asked.
Hill was not offered the job this weekend, according to the Seattle Times. But he is among a handful of candidates Washington is considering that includes Utah coach Kyle Whittingham, Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly and Texas Tech coach Mike Leach.
The Times reported the Huskies are also pursuing Seattle Seahawks assistant Jim Mora Jr., who is a Washington alum.

Here are some rules of the road:
• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.
• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
