UH's Glanville contacted by Northern Michigan

"We've had conversations," Glanville said after this morning's practice in preparation for Friday's nationally televised game against 24th-ranked Wisconsin.
Glanville, who was head coach of two National Football League teams, is a 1964 graduate of Northern Michigan. The Wildcats dress in the Jerry Glanville Locker Room.
Glanville said he will not consider other options until after UH's Dec. 3 season finale against San Diego State.
"I've got my hands full here," Glanville said. "I'm trying to stop Wisconsin. I've got too much to do."
Northern Michigan fired Doug Sams Nov. 8 after the Wildcats finished the season with a 2-8 record, tied for last place in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Conference.
Asked of Northern Michigan's interest, Glanville said, "(It's) only because I graduated from there."
Asked about the locker room in his name, he said, "(It's) only because I donated money."
Glanville, who ended a 12-year hiatus from coaching to sign with UH in April, also had been contacted about the opening at Temple University.
