CFB: Washington's Willingham to return

Associated Press

SEATTLE — Tyrone Willingham will return next season as Washington's football coach, a university official told The Associated Press today.

The school announced it will hold Willingham's routine end-of-season press conference later today. The briefing had been delayed amid rumors that University of Washington President Mark Emmert was considering whether to fire him. Washington finished last season 4-9 and is 11-25 in three years under Willingham.

The university official spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement had yet to be made.
