Western Michigan coach PJ Fleck is having a marvelous football season and is the Energizer Bunny in the post-game news conference. But despite being pushed toward Oregon by some influential people, the Ducks don't appear to be ready to hire Fleck.

Sources on both sides confirmed on Saturday night that Fleck has not interviewed with Oregon. Fleck's camp indicated that he had a banquet to attend on Sunday and then would begin recruiting for Western Michigan. No interview Sunday either. So it doesn't look like the Ducks plan on seeing Fleck until at least Monday, if at all. And by then, this search could be wrapping up.

Fleck's troubles, to me, sit squarely in the idea that the chief boosters involved in this Ducks search (Phil Knight and Pat Kilkenny) are grounded men, who are more interested in substance vs. style. Remember, Knight sold sneakers out of the back of his car and Kilkenny is from Eastern Oregon.

"How would Fleck's act fly in Heppner?" one UO insider said on Saturday.

Also, his geography is a factor. Also, post-Mark Helfrich it feels like Oregon may be looking for a correction in experience and standing. Fleck might just be too early in his coaching arc for this time around.

Still, Fleck may get an interview late in process (maybe Monday?)... but if so, it will be a token interview. After all, it's sometimes easier to do a quick interview than explain why you aren't.

If I'm reading this right, there's no real interest from Oregon's side. And while that may worry some of you, a source said on Saturday night, "I think we are in a pretty good place but still some work to do."
