According to the Mobile Press-Register, Charlotte head coach Bobby Lutz is the favorite to replace new Arkansas coach John Pelphrey at South Alabama. Lutz visited the campus on Wednesday, and was the first to be interviewed for the job. In his nine years with the 49ers, Lutz has compiled a 168-112 record with five NCAA Tournament appearances. In addition to Lutz, USA is planning on interviewing Alabama assistant coach Philip Pearson, Sam Houston State head coach Bob Marlin, and Lipscomb head coach Scott Sanderson. Athletic director Joe Gottfried has already said he prefers to hire someone with experience as a head coach to fill the vacancy rather than going with an assistant coach.
