Michael says the school did not confirm nor deny his report.

Fox, 49, was successful in five seasons at Nevada, but he only went 163-133 over nine seasons at Georgia. He made the tournament just twice and never advanced beyond the first round with the Bulldogs.

The Rams are looking to clean up their program after getting rid of Larry Eustachy.
