FOSTER WAITING AT THE ESSO TO HEAR FROM CLEMSON

The Hokies defensive coordinator Bud Foster confirmed Monday night that he interviewed with Clemson athletic director Terry Don Phillips in regards to the Tigers' head coaching post Friday night in Roanoke, and said he felt the meeting went well.

"I was a nervous wreck going in and I felt good coming out," Foster said. "There's an interest on both parts. I'm one of several potential candidates for the job, and we'll see where it goes. That's all I know and that's all I can say."

According to reports, Foster is the third candidate to interview for the head coaching job that opened when Tommy Bowden resigned Oct. 13. Phillips reportedly met Nov. 7 with former Oakland Raiders coach Lane Kiffin, and met with Oklahoma defensive coordinator Brent Venables a week ago today.
