Jeff Brohm is out of the picture, Scott Satterfield is the presumed favorite, but now a mystery name has emerged as a candidate for the vacant Louisville football coaching position.

Matt Canada, the interim head coach at Maryland, will speak with Louisville athletic director Vince Tyra on Monday, according to Football Scoop's Scott Roussel.

"Source tells FootballScoop Matt Canada is speaking with Tyra today," Roussel wrote. "Canada earned accolades from some for the way he held things together at Maryland this season."

Canada's agent is Pete Roussel, who according to a 2012 story from CBS Sports is Scott Roussel's brother.

Canada, a 46-year-old New Palestine, Indiana native, previously served as offensive coordinator at LSU, Pittsburgh, North Carolina State, Wisconsin, Northern Illinois and his alma mater, Indiana. He joined Maryland as offensive coordinator in January.

He was thrust into the Maryland interim coaching position after D.J. Durkin was put on administrative leave as the school investigated the death of one of Maryland's players, Jordan McNair. Canada finished the season after Durkin was later fired.

Canada led Maryland to a 5-7 record, including a win against Texas and a one-point overtime loss against Ohio State.

One of his players, linebacker Tre Watson, told The Diamondback, Maryland's student-run newspaper, that Canada was doing a good job in "an extremely tough situation."

"You come in just expecting to call plays and run the offense, and now he’s got to manage a million other things on the fly," Watson said. "So, he’s done a great job with that and he’s just allowed us to be comfortable doing what we’re doing."

Canada is a finalist for the Terrapins' permanent coaching position, along with Alabama offensive coordinator Mike Locksley and Michigan pass game coordinator Pep Hamilton, according to the Washington Post. Canada interviewed for the job last week.

According to the Washington Post, "Canada earned more than $1.1 million this past season as Maryland’s interim coach. As the offensive coordinator, he was set to make $650,000 annually; once he was named as Durkin’s interim replacement, Canada received an additional $155,000 for his first 30 days in that role and then $135,000 for each 30-day period that followed."

His contract as offensive coordinator runs through 2020. However, if he begins another coaching job, "the amount he makes from his new employer would be subtracted from what Maryland owes him each period," according to the Post.
