Sounds like Nakos has insight on the ECU vacancy (BTW - I’m not a subscriber):

Won’t be surprised if Dilfer is gone as well. Actually surprised it hasn’t happened already.
Florida Atlantic coach Tom Herman fired today
UAB must be in bad financial shape to be waiting to fire Dilfer. I know the Alabama university system has caused problems for them in the past. Curious if it’s still the same.

From FootballScoop concerning the ECU vacancy:
East Carolina : Maybe the best job thus far to open up, the Pirates have canvassed college football in their search, which features prominent names with direct ties to the school such as Garrett Riley and Joe Sloan, the offensive play-callers at Clemson and LSU, respectively, to sitting head coaches such as Western Kentucky’s Tyson Helton and, FootballScoop has been told, Georgia Southern’s Clay Helton as well, though Tyson Helton has been considered to be much more deeply involved, per sources.
Skip Holtz is a name also linked to the ECU job, a spot where he won 38 games in five years from 2005-09 and also led the Pirates to four-straight bowl games.
But perhaps interim head coach Blake Harrell, who’s been the program’s defensive coordinator the past five seasons, is going to make the search moot. Harrell has guided the Pirates to three consecutive wins and bowl eligibility still with two games, at North Texas and home against Navy, remaining on their schedule. Plus, ECU has offensive coordinator John David Baker, a Lane Kiffin and Charlie Weis Jr. protegè who’s helped the offense score 28 or more points in six games already this seasons.

Lewis to FAU quickly shot down. Gotta wonder what Schefter meant by the “Deion Sanders model” vis-a-vis Lewis. Sanders coached high school and then at FCS Jackson State before landing at CU. Lewis has ZERO coaching experience!

FWIW, Vannini says Ole Miss OC Charlie Weis Jr. is the frontrunner for FAU. Definitely makes sense.
… to which I say, “Huh??? What???”
