Houston will interview at least five candidates for its head-coaching position, including Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin and former coaches Les Miles and Art Briles, sources told ESPN.

Briles, in case you've been living under a rock, was fired for letting his football team run amok and not properly reporting a number (not just one) of sexual assaults committed by his players.  That he is currently being considered to run another program less than a year later is mind-boggling. 

I know some of our fans occasionally complain about Gene Smith, but in his defense he would 100% never sign off on something like this.  I would (perhaps naively) like to think that most other AD's would also find it unfathomable.  Houston's AD is apparently not on that list.
