Western Michigan football fans may be closer to the dream they want to become reality: P.J. Fleck staying in Kalamazoo.

Fleck's name has come up in a myriad of open Division I coaching positions across the country, but one by one those positions have been filled.

Baylor was the most recent to hire as they snatched Temple coach Matt Rhule on Tuesday.

On Monday, the Purdue job went to Western Kentucky coach Jeff Brohm.

On Tuesday, CBS sports writer Dennis Dodd noted that Fleck's name has not come up in the Houston job search, Oregon appears it's going in a different direction and that Cincinnati is likely out as well.

Dodd said a Cincinnati official was made aware that Fleck was only interested in a Power Five job, not another Group of Five position, if he was going to move from Western Michigan.

"P.J. is not in play here," Dodd quoted the unnamed source as saying.

Coach Tommy Tuberville stepped down from the Bearcats position Sunday after posting a 4-8 record this season.

That news would be just fine with the Fleck faithful in Kalamazoo.
