East Carolina offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Todd Fitch will interview Saturday for the same position at Minnesota, a source close to Fitch told ESPN.com.

Fitch has spent the last two years guiding East Carolina's offense, which set a single-season school scoring record in 2007 (403 points) before falling off a bit this season. He previously coached quarterbacks at both Iowa State and South Carolina, and served as Connecticut's offensive coordinator from 1996-98.

Minnesota head coach Tim Brewster has interviewed quite a few candidates for the offensive coordinator vacancy, which came open Jan. 6 after Mike Dunbar resigned. Brewster reportedly met with Oklahoma State co-offensive coordinator Gunter Brewer and St. Louis Rams assistant Jeff Horton this week.

Brewster told ESPN.com on Friday that he has narrowed his search to two candidates and will announce his choice on Monday.
