Oklahoma co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel is a candidate for the SMU head coaching job, EJ Holland of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football and the Dallas Morning News reported Thursday.

The job came open when June Jones resigned earlier this month two games into the season.

Tom Mason is the Mustangs’ interim coach.

Heupel, who starred at OU, has been an assistant for the Sooners since 2005 and served as co-offensive coordinator since 2011.
