Monday has now come and gone. I expected to see announcements on what coaches are let go and.....nothing.

Outrageous if we're expected to witness another year of this same staff continuing to fail.

At this point expect only Babers, Akina, and Gonzales gone.

Yup, but the guys from San Jose State are just too good to let go or something. Truthfully the only assistant that should keep his job is probably Carter. Everybody else can go.

Absolutely no one can argue that CBB Did a good job. His team looked undisciplined, unmotivated, potentially poorly conditioned, poorly prepared and executed poorly. You certainly could say that it is hard to think that those things will change in a season.

From Nick Fowles via twitter:

I wanted to share some thoughts to my AZ Wildcats out there. I'm glad Coach Brent Brennan will be back at the UofA. I got to spend several days with him and really enjoyed my time. It was obvious the love he has for Wildcat nation and those roots run deep. I know ...

Not a lot to like about anything in Arizona Athletics sans the Triathlon program as of late.

Purdue just fired their coach after going 1-11 in his second year. I can certainly see CBB coaching us to a similar record next year. So our next coach will take over a program in about the same condition as Fisch did

Purdue just had the worst season of any team in the Big10 going back like ...

Tommy can have an absolutely shit year due to poor roster construction and still be the long term right guy. He can't let obviously glaring issues like not having a starting guard that can shoot consistently happen again though. All 3 of our guards in a vacuum are great players we would always ...

If I'm remembering correctly, Love's NIL was for Love specifically, as in it would not be there to spread around to other people.

Still almost a whole season ahead of us, but man, this team looked pretty unimpressive last night. And Duke didn't even look that good, imo.

If you hold a team under 70 in McKale you should win every single time.

Maybe the ninja move for DRF is to allow Brennan to coach vs the Devils knowing we’re going to get smoked.

Everything points to ASU steamrolling us regardless who coaches, but if you want to fire him you just can’t take the risk he pulls off a miracle.

ChooChooCat

Also Dell Orso, who played mostly in his stead, is a huge defensive liability.

Outside of the officials and Love this was story #3 for me last night.

Arizona came in to this season with a bunch of questions, one of the most significant being outside shooting.

So, ADO addresses that for ...

If CBB is let go it will be traced solely to his decision to hire Babers. I still wonder if he was prompted by a few of the boosters in that choice.

This win will hold off the naysayers for a week but he has to win next week. He is notDRF’s guy and she won’t let him become that.

Expecting the same results as last year is insanity.

Only U of A fans "owe" support to U of A athletic teams.

No one is required to be a U of A fan.

As far as the Robbins/Heeke bs, I'll only say this - the U of A had to make as fast of a hire as possible to stem the flow of players to UDub. The previously vetted Brennan was just about the ONLY ...

Does anyone (other than Machina) really care any more? The team just seems to get a bit worse every week.

This is it in a nutshell. When the program loses its most ardent fans, you know it’s over for the most part.

Don't know a lot about recruiting, but that does not seem a good sign.

Coaches don't usually get fired after their first year, but then again most coaches weren't hired by an AD who was fired a week after.

Its over. You have to find the $9 mil and blow this up. Brennan was hired in 2 hours with the Arizona AD working out of a hotel room in Washington due to a grounded plane.

Been thinking (more like stewing) about this situation for a couple hours.

Does anyone know if DRF can override Brennan and hire new staff if the boosters don't pony up? Does anyone know the details of his contract?

Yes, the AD can dictate hires if she so desires. Usually that's not acceptable or is the case, but Brent isn't her guy and he's on thin ice, so if DRF ...

Brent seems like such a good guy though and with the right staff under him, can probably recruit very well.
