DURHAM N.C.
Former UCLA coach Karl Dorrell was spotted on the Duke campus Monday, while the Blue Devils’ search for a coach dragged into its third week.
Dorrell, who was fired last week after the Bruins finished 6-6 this season, was seen in the passenger seat of a convertible near Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Don Yee, Dorrell’s Los Angeles-based agent, declined to comment, while athletic director Joe Alleva did not return a telephone message left by The Associated Press.
Duke is looking for a replacement for Ted Roof, who was fired Nov. 26 after wrapping up a 1-11 season with a ninth straight loss. The Blue Devils went 6-45 during Roof’s four-plus seasons in Durham.
Dorrell, who will be 44 on Dec. 18, surfaced as a possible candidate late last week. Others believed to be under consideration include Vanderbilt’s Bobby Johnson, and former East Carolina coach and Boston College assistant Steve Logan.
One of Duke’s top choices, former Navy coach Paul Johnson, was hired last week by Georgia Tech. Former North Carolina Central and current Grambling State coach Rod Broadway also is known to have interviewed for the Duke job.
