The Owls are in need of a coach following the departure of Al Golden, who moved on to Miami-Florida.
The newspaper said Temple passed on hiring Penn State defensive coordinator Tom Bradley.
Addazio, 51, found himself looking for a job after Gators Coach Urban Meyers quit unexpectedly and Florida hired Will Muschamp to replace him.
Golden turned around the Owls program, going from 1-11 his first season to producing back-to-back winning records.
