Washington head football coach Steve Sarkisian announced today that Aaron Roderick -- introduced last week as receivers coach, will not be joining the UW staff. Instead, Roderick has decided to stay on at Utah.

This is the second time a university has had to retract a Roderick announcement. About 10 days ago, Utah had announced that he was staying there and accepting a promotion to co-offensive coordinator. Then they had to put out a new release saying he was going to UW instead.

"I handled this whole thing badly," Roderick said in a Utah press release. "But I didn't want to compound my mistakes, when where I really want to be is Utah. This was never about titles and money. This is about doing what is right for me and my family. I love coaching at the University of Utah and I am grateful that Coach Whittingham welcomed me back."

The search to fill that final UW football assistant coaching position will continue.

After 13 wins over their last 14 games and bolting to the top of the Pac-10 Conference standings, the Huskies have been rewarded with entry into the AP national rankings: debuting at No. 23.

The Huskies swept the Oregon schools on the road two weeks ago and knocked off USC and then-13th-ranked UCLA last week. But while that was enough for media voters, it didn't get the job done in the coaches' poll where the Huskies got more votes but remain unranked.

Here are the complete AP and ESPN polls.

This is the Huskies first appearance in the AP rankings since December 2006.
