University of Cincinnati Bearcats offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock is interviewing for the same position at Vanderbilt University, according to multiple reports Tuesday night.
Denbrock has been UC's offensive coordinator for all four of Luke Fickell's seasons as head coach.
Last month, Vanderbilt named Clark Lea - Notre Dame's defensive coordinator for the past three season - its new head coach.
Denbrock was an assistant at Notre Dame under head coach Brian Kelly from 2010 to 2016, but Denbrock left for UC as Lea was arriving at Notre Dame.
According to gobearcats.com, Denbrock mentored 2010 preseason All-American Kyle Rudolph - a former Elder High School standout and one of 18 current NFL players from Greater Cincinnati high schools - as Rudolph collected 28 receptions for 328 yards and three touchdowns in six games before a hamstring injury ended his season.
Denbrock also has coached at Indiana State, Washington, Stanford, Buffalo, Illinois State, Michigan State and his alma mater - Grand Valley State - where he also coached with Kelly for several seasons.
UC associate head coach and running backs coach Dan Enos was announced Monday as the University of Maryland Terrapins' new offensive coordinator.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish announced last week that they hired defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Marcus Freeman, who spent the past four seasons at UC.
