Long Beach State athletic director Vic Cegles strongly insisted Wednesday evening that he is not pursuing the vacant AD's job at the University of Houston.
It was reported in Tuesday's Houston Chronicle that Cegles is one of ``six front-runners'' for the job at the school, a member of Conference USA.
"I've never talked to one person -- absolutely no one -- about that job,'" Cegles said.
School president Dr. F. King Alexander called Cegles Wednesday after hearing of the report.
"And I said I would have told him if I was getting involved (with the job at Houston),'' Cegles added.
Cegles that the reporter who wrote the story "never contacted me about it. A guy from the Fox TV station (in Houston) called and I told him three times I wasn't a candidate, and that if I was, I wouldn't have answered his calls."
Cegles has been LBSU's athletic director since April of 2006.
