In re UofA

Don’t think Big10 is leaving USC and UCLA on an island (though it would bring me joy) My guess: Washington and Oregon comes at a discount and will be in the “western” division together with Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Northwestern and Wisconsin. It needs a commissioner first.

In re UofA

If we have severely reduced media exposure over the next 5 or 10 years the academic leadership should be concerned with the correlation between athletic interest and college choice.

In re UofA

Media markets only matter when the markets watch. Regardless of the market size, I believe the Big12 got better ratings because their fans care about football. What has SF, Seattle, Phoenix and Denver done to attract suiters? Regardless of the truck stop markets, ESPN gave them a lot more money. The...

In re UofA

If it’s down to ESPN as the only major media outlet with interest we are borked. Why would ESPN pay for the rights to 10/12 Pac teams when it could force 4/6 desirable Pac schools to the Big12? They can maintain games in the pacific time zone without floating two conferences. George better get CBS o...

In re UofA

I suspect SDSU and SMU were a done deal until a few schools told George to hold off until a deal is done. They may be out if the numbers come in poor.

In re UofA

Bally collapse is another bad sign for Pac12 negotiations.

If the new PAC12 deal with ESPN+/Youtube comes in at $20M per school annually, and Yormark offers the four corner schools $38-50M annually as the pro-rata expansion terms of the new tv deal allows, what does the school do?

In re UofA

This statement means two things: negotiations are not going well and they need to tell people (or themselves) that they’re united. Neither are good. ESPN is a financial sinking ship and Disney is not doing so hot either. There is no pot of gold there. No streaming service has offered a pot of gold o...

In re UofA

It is remarkable how much better are Uni's look when you use our actual school colors. We always used our school colors, I don't get why this argument is still out there. The designs and usage just weren't good It’s the purple stripe on the shoulder of the red and blues that was hideous. That and t...

In re UofA

We have a terrible distribution deal now, but we hold all ownership interest in our content whereas the B1G and SEC have Fox and ESPN as major interest holders. While that has limited us to date, the next deal may involve bidding from YouTube/Netflix/Paramount/Apple/Amazon or any other new streaming...

Football is king when it comes conference realignment. Football accounts for $.85 for ever $1.00 when it comes to tv money rights. If the PAC were to lose its top football teams and replace them with basketball schools like Kansas, we risk becoming the Big East. As for Arizona, we need access to So...

In re UofA

I’m coming around. Not that I think he is a great coach, I have no idea. But he has a good to great staff for the money, is building relationships within the state and is engaging on social media. Those are the only things he can do for now. The previous regimes didn’t seem to have any excitement at...

Are we going to get the results from the search firm? Money well spent I'm sure.

In re UofA

Likely coach of the year with Tomey ties right there and we hire a career assistant drifter.

With the bball program facing a tough road ahead, this will be an inflection point. It’s going to get real dark.

This seems good.

In re UofA

No idea who it is. Last I heard Brennan was still the top choice. But a lot seems to be happening that the guy I know isn’t privy to. He didn’t know about Fisch until it hit the air, but that may be because it was handled by Robbins. I heard its no longer Heeke's decision or in his hands at all. Th...

Nevada's season just ended, so Norvell?

In re UofA

The hire needs to embrace the city and fanbase, needs to be personable and exude excitement and more than anything produce a quality product. He doesnt need a famous name, just needs to rally everyone. I hadn’t heard of Brennan a month ago, but I like him enough to support him and the program. Why a...

In re UofA

Just hire Brennan and get the staff together already. We need to get the guys on board and contact the players in the transfer portal. What is so hard about this? Part of Heeke’s job is to sell boosters AND the president on the right hire. It seems like he has no influence. If they hire Fisch, what ...

In re UofA

From how Scheer speaks of Heeke and Robbins I'm sure neither are sources of his.

The "mystery candidate" is cover for when the AD hires someone not on his list.

In re UofA

I’ve read the chief back and forth on twitter. What is with that guy and why do media respond to him? It’s really beneath them and is amateur hour.

Why does he call himself chief?

In re UofA

I don’t think he’s ready, but I’d prefer Cason to Fich.

In re UofA

Brennan as HC and Salave’a as DC is a solid start.

In re UofA

Why does Robbins have an affinity for Fisch?

In re UofA

Google, is Alex Grinch a good coach?

Extremely likely for what...?

That we reach out to Gronk. Also, have it on good authority that the team slogan will be “Somos fiesta”

In re UofA

We can be middle of the road next year if our guys dont all bounce, they buy in and we get some transfers in. It’s not like the Pac has world beaters.

Harsin is looking to get paid ... by Boise.

From what I've gathered in a few internet searches Ken seems like a stand up guy. I'm interested to hear who he can secure for staff.

Has anyone asked Tate who we should hire?

In re UofA

Niumatalolo is interesting in that his triple option system will be a major pain for our opponents. I dont know him any better than Brennan but it comes down to this for me: Does he want to come here just to escape the annoyances of football at an academy or is he motivated to kill it here? It bette...

In re UofA

Does the search firm just do a background check or does it uncover the "hidden candidate"? Really, how many contenders are there for Arizona's head football coach and shouldn't this be our AD's job to have a list and choose one? What does the search firm do that he can't?

What has Robbins done wrong?

In re UofA

Look, we aren’t getting the perfect candidate. We don’t have the facilities/infrastructure/tradition/money for a coach with multiple undefeated seasons. With what we’re working with, let’s get someone that has proven he can turn a program around rather than an expensive retread that has done less wi...

In re UofA

Brennan seems like the right type of gamble for the program. The question now is will he have a bag man so we can get talented players?

In re UofA

The coaching change has brought me back after a long long break. I had even forgotten the URL. Even beyond the coach, I care more for a revamped strength and conditioning program and coordinators that kill it on the recruiting trail. We need to revamp it all, including the mindset. Like others have ...

This will be the new norm in a generation or less. $125k for 5 months, plus agent marketing and other benefits, no class, no act scores, and professional development.

I just belly laughed at that missed kick.

We’re cursed.

Tate looks terrible. Footwork, balance, speed, decisions, awareness. I have he’s hurt but he’s out there and only limps between plays.

Sit him

In re UofA

Welp, this team sucks and that probably includes the coordinators.

I like where the staff is taking the offense. Please get back to blowing the doors off teams.

The team looked defeated during UH’s second drive.

When is the last time we had stong line play?

I’d like to be optomistic for the future but I hear recruiting is not going well.
