(Irving, Texas-AP) -- One of the first names to emerge as a candidate for Oklahoma State head football coaching job is that of Dallas Cowboys assistant Les Miles.

Miles is the Dallas tight end coach, and is a former O-S-U offensive coordinator.

Gundy says he's very interested in the job and wants to be in Oklahoma.
