University of Miami defensive coordinator Mark D’Onofrio has interviewed for the coaching job at Temple University in Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Inquirer and OwlScoop.com (Rivals) reported Monday.

Former Temple coach Steve Addazio departed Temple this past Tuesday to become coach at Boston College.

D’Onofrio was the Temple defensive coordinator from 2006 to 2010, when UM coach Al Golden was the coach there. D’Onofrio’s defense this year was among the worst in the nation in every category, though he helped turn Temple’s around.

Meanwhile, sources close to former FIU coach Mario Cristobal also confirmed an Inquirer report that he interviewed this weekend for the Temple job. Cristobal had drawn some interest from the University of Colorado, which on Monday hired Mike MacIntyre from San Jose State for its coaching job.

Cristobal’s next job and how soon it happens matters as far as how much money FIU will have to spend on its next coach for the next couple of years. If he gets another head coaching job for next year, FIU could be on the hook for as little as $453,183. If he doesn’t, FIU has to pay him $906,366.
