Zook looking for new OC

With Mike Locksley off to coach New Mexico, there is a good chance Illinois coach Ron Zook will make a run at hiring USF pass game coordinator/receivers coach Mike Canales to run the offense.

Others who apparently are on the radar are former Syracuse offensive coordinator Mitch Browning and former Miami University coach Shane Montgomery. Zook also could promote quarterbacks coach Kurt Beathard into the OC post.

Locksley isn't expected to take any full-time Illini assistants to Albuquerque with him.
