The one coach that I know was interviewed was Mike Leach, currently of Texas Tech. I'll do some more research and follow up.
**EDIT** It looks like just two, Mike Leach and Greg Schiano of Rutgers. Here is a snippet of the story:
The Hurricanes decided to promote from within after talking to Rutgers coach Greg Schiano, a former Miami assistant, and Texas Tech's Mike Leach. Schiano, apparently the Hurricanes' first choice, said he told them not to consider him for the job.
"In our national search, we spoke to a lot of people about coaches and to a number of coaches about their availability," Dee said in a statement. "As the search progressed, it became very clear that coach Shannon was the right person for this position."
