I think you are the one who is quibbling. Coaching alone will not turn this program alone, and neither will recruiting. We need dramatic improvements on both fronts if we are to have ANY chance of returning to respectability. Did Kelly’s on-field performance outpace his recruiting in Eugene? Arguab...

"At all" shouldn't matter, especially when we're looking at a program with a cupboard as bare as Arizona's. We absolutely, desperately need our next coaching staff to be power recruiters. Negligence in this area since Tomey, frankly, has killed his legacy and formed the foundation of an existential...

Harsin - @ Boise St you are the big fish in the little pond.
Still like coaches who can succeed when they aren't the most 'storied' program in their league

Sumlin's defense of his 2-point attempts was ridiculous. "The 'statistics' said go for it, we had to get to an even number".....uhh, what? I AM a statistician, have been for my entire career, and that is one of the most moronic things I've ever heard with "statistics". There are two time-tested tru...

Why is it that the frickin PAC NW schools and Mtn Schools (UTAH, CO) get to enjoy their home field advantage, yet we don't? We were blown out in 2 road night games at altitude (not really warm) and in the paloose at 9pm to midnight in subfreezing temps. Make these pu__y teams play in the desert when...

Yates seems like a good chap, but has reached his level of incompetence. Time to wish him well.

And start over with a new DC next season. Bear down.

Umm the cats have fumbled the ball like a half dozen times in the first half. I hope the new indoor facility allows them to lower the temp to 35 degrees to practice with a cold slick ball.

It's sad to see, but a little predictable. They put their athletic QB in harms way, over and over. It won't work for a full season. Caught up to them unfortunately today. Glad that AZ is getting away from that. This month is going to be interesting - probably disappointing. But everything is wide op...

3rdand25

Its a good time for the bye. By the time the Cats play Wazzu, most of the other teams will have 2 games left, and we'll know what's possible.

I am hoping for a Utah november swoon. I trust the devils will start the nosedive today. Could this be like 2014 where the Duel in the Desert decides it?

3rdand25

Is there any way they could end up in the pac-12 championship game? Win that, and I don't think it's the Cheez-it bowl.. But I would agree, ASU is the priority right now, but if the cats can trip up WSU all the better

Tate can’t run and he cant pass. He’s done. Next man up. Other than his 4 game out of this world streak, he has been much like Dawkins. Iffy passer, OK runner, not great at anything when he is nicked up (which seems to happen a lot). Guy was hobbled by the turf monster. Doesn't look like he's the g...

One positive thing is that Bryne will likely cause an implosion at Alabama. Once Saban retires it’s going to get ugly there. They got exactly what they want. A smooth talker that runs a loose ship, either by intent or incompetence. Perfect fit. As far as GB went, I got run off the old AFO site when...

Wouldn't it be something if Cordera was actually RichRod? OK, let me be a little conspiratorial here. What kind of name is Cordera. Lets rearrange the letters. Hmm CRodEra For all I know, that was an innocent typo on his behalf, fully consistent with most of his postings. I will give him great cred...

What happened to Cordera; has he spoken? Would be nice to get his take on all the recent happenings.

Seriously,

When Stoops was let go by our very own Sun Devil AD, many morons (and many Sun Devils) celebrated.

Unless things change drastically, we are going to have a Super Bowl with prominent UA Stoops era players on both sides of the ball.

Congrats to these Cats and Bear Down

This is all good news. Best wishes to Ken N, and welcome to the new Coach.

A well executed search, with a great outcome, no?

Thanks Heeke!

PS if I was bb coach I would be nervous

All I know is Chiefzona was the one who had information regarding our AD talking to Sumlin, BEFORE Richrod was fired. So all I really want to know is who Chief thinks will be the coach? Follow him on Twitter. He's afraid if he posts it here Scheer will steal it. :D Not a surprise... I have had my i...

I like this Navy coach and hope he considers his options carefully and accepts the Arizona job. He's taking his time making a large decision and being as transparent as possible about it with his current employer. As far as I can tell, this is being handled exceptionally well by all parties. If he d...

What are you not hearing about Ken N? "He's a hot up and comer destined for a P5 job." He'll tear up recruiting" " Imagine what he can do with Tate " He might be a great coach, but he is at least a year from sparking any interest in this program and that pretty much only if he wins the division nex...

I think Ken N sounds like a great coach and leader. His record proves it. He does not badmouth his prior employers or write books pointing fingers at folks a la Rich Rod. He isn't a jobhopper. While he isn't running for sainthood, he looks like a very solid dude, who is resourceful. I am good with ...

Chief has said in the past Heeke was in over his head. If he pulls this off I think we can confidently lay that to rest. I'm skeptical he can pull it off, but anything is possible. The AD who was in over his head was Greg Byrne. I'm sure he learned a lot and can do a better job at Alabama. Don't kn...

What we don't need is a protracted media circus, followed by bad-mouthing the school. One thing that seems obvious, is that NONE of this fiasco is the fault of U oA or Dave Heeke, and that RR's conduct/judgement led to his being relieved of his duties with pay. We don't need a repeat of the Michigan...

In a conference of no defense, Arizona could establish an identity.

Maybe he was asking his assistant to help cover up the affair? DING DING DING.... this was reported on one of the major news wires.

Stoops was fired ater 10 straight FBS losses, with decreasing competitiveness in them. While he had his own issues, I don't think there was much under the surface with that one. Yeah, those FBS losses were against some pretty highly ranked teams, including Alamo Bowl, if my memory is accurate- then...

There is a lot more to this claim guys. Are you M******'s husband? This claim is bullshit. The investigators found the same. Maybe, but I wouldn't want to be RR - the accuser has retained legal counsel since October; since then she has not provided any new information to the AD (hence the findings)...

Is Bruce Arians interested?

Kiss Khalil Tate goodbye, he will be at Oregon in no time. Proof? He's probably far more likely to stay without the disaster that RR is as a coach being here. No proof, but I have zero confidence in the school making a decent hire this late into the game. This feels like Tim Floyd all over again to...

This isn't any way to go out. I cringe thinking about the possibilities regarding the next "I'm a victim" book, demonizing the U of A.

I watched some of Ray Anderson's press conference and have to agree w him on one thing. The PAC 12 south is/has been very weak over the last 4 or 5 years. This has been a window of opportunity which is not always open. AZ still loses to and struggles with the byus of the world, so getting 2nd or 3rd...

Catsby you must look at a per play average for points and yards. If team A gives up 400 yards a game but due to their offense scoring quickly plays 90 defensive play a game, they are better than team B who gives up 300 yards a game but plays 55 plays a game. The defense is improving and is average ...

You all can rage like spoil brat all the hell you want. But Did Arizona manage to get a losing record this year by any mean. I say fuck every last one of you.

Ha, nice.

Yeah I don't get the arrogance in the press conferences? I mean, you're not "winning the press conference" with that, you know? Isn't that what Greg Byrne was all about?

3rdand25

Looks like once teams figured out Tate, it got hairy for RR. Finish losing 3 of last 4; only win being Oregon State.

I think the AD has much to think about.

3rdand25

Another brutal series by Dawk. Goin backwards.

Still they are in it- lots of time left

3rdand25

It takes Dawkins a little longer to hit top speed than Tate, but he made it to the end zone. Hopefully his "brutal" first few possessions are behind him.

Wow, he has pulled tate and put Dawkinns in, and there's nothing wrong with Tate (reported on TV)? It is clear that Dawkins checked out a couple months ago when he lost his job. He looks slow, heavy, confused, and looks like he doesn't want to be there. Is this RR's masterstroke, before the big come...

Yeah rivalry games are lost with the little details like paying attention to special teams, and not turning the ball over. Not nearly as flashy as calling plays on your pet offense, but important none the less.

3rdand25

If this team is a one-trick pony w/ Tate, is that acceptable?
