Unlikely. I would imagine we are just in negotiations with Sexton. Also saw this, this morning.

(Assuming personalities wouldn't clash) If you could get Leach as HC, and throw Grantham enough money to coach defense, I would be enamoured with that hire. I simply have no faith that anyone worth having could tolerate Leach.
Fickell is a damn good coach. Ohio State entrusted him with the program for an entire season, until fellow alum Meyer was hired on. My father-in-law is a big OSU alum, and thinks Fickell will be the next HC there after Ryan Day is done. I've heard Zach Smith praise his recruiting prowess on...
He was interim and stop-gap guy after they fired Trussell. I can think of about two coaches who wouldn’t be demoted(or fired) for Urban Meyer. 4-8 in his first year at Cinci, and 11-2, 11-3 the last two years. The dude is a good coach, and a good recruiter as well.
Haven’t seen anyone bring his name up, and I’m not real sure why. I would love to see Luke Fickle at least interviewed. Not sure he’d leave Cincinnati, because I truly believe he’s an OSU coach in waiting. That’s a hire that would excite me.
