Dino Babers on UCF job: 'I have not signed anything, I'm not going anywhere'

Bowling Green coach Dino Babers said Monday he has no intention of leaving Bowling Green despite rumors that linked him to the job opening at Central Florida.

247Sports.com reported Sunday night that Central Florida was expected to hire Babers. However, that report was quickly refuted by other outlets and Babers himself, who sent a text to the Toledo Blade claiming the rumors were false.

Monday, Grant Heston, UCF vice president for communications and marketing, tweeted that UCF had not yet secured a new coach to replace George O’Leary.

Babers was adamant during his press conference Monday that his only focus was on Bowling Green and the Mid-American Conference title game on Friday. He said he wanted to set the record straight because the rumors were inaccurate and he didn’t want it to affect his team.
