Bear Down Wildcats

Been Nice posting with you guys!

. Wondering if Baldwin bailed and now Heeke is scrambling.
Think this would go over terribly, even with Tomey at presser.

ramcat

Sumlin would be the Prize for sure but very Happy with Baldwin if Yates is retained. In light of all the bs with end of RR era, think some continuity with the players and recruits will help, restart. I realize the defense has still been woeful but think most could see how lacking the personnel was w...

Being a candidate and interviewing are not necessarily inclusive Not sure you can be considered legit or serious, if no interview takes place, as was mentioned by Lev. Says his consideration was exaggerated. I am just saying it is a word play for everyone's benefit. Rick gets press and maybe a rais...

I most definitely give credit to Scheer for nailing actual candidates for the job. That's much more than I can say for the daily star group sans Lev who won't stop talking about a special teams coach alum who was never interviewed for the job. Quite frankly it's embarrassing. Didn't Scheer state Ne...

Well, his buyout is scheduling a home and home with new team or $100k, so that's a positive, Lol!!

ramcat

Think it's down to Sumlin, Baldwin, or Helfrich. Very Happy with Sumlin and Baldwin. Scared of Helfrich, though some coaches improved significantly on their second attempts as HC.

ramcat

As long as Beau keeps Yates for now, that's my first choice. Like Sumlin a lot and want a high profile hire, but just think he'd ride Tate and some success for a couple years and bolt.

ramcat

A little more confirmation of things moving on Sumlin, with negotiations on Asst's and Mazzone.

As O coordinator? Keeping Yates?

Mazzone and Yates is what I heard if it goes through.

Damn! Get it done Heeke, think that'd be Sweet!!!

ramcat

Anyone with an idea on buyouts for some of the coordinators mentioned, such as Baldwin? If any?

I'd take Baldwin well ahead of Neal Brown. Don't want any part of the "Nascar Spread". Defense needs some rest! Recruiting questions with little to no exposure to west coast, save lubbock briefly.

ramcat

Which makes the idea of paying $3 million buyout ludicrous. That would pay for both an offensive and defensive coordinator.

ramcat

Terrible hire Maybe the buyout will be to much lol https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2017/11/16/neal-brown-leads-big-turnaround-for-troy-trojans/107748926/" target="_blank $3 million Maybe this is part of negotiations to get sumlin lower.

I do not think Baldwin will pack fans in the stadium next year, but I'd be completely fine with the hire. I have a friend up in Portland who played college FB and is very connected & in tune with the CFB landscape who thinks extremely highly of him. And people can blast Chief all they want (Lord kn...

Some Good background on Sumlin. Interesting was born in same, really small town as Fred Snowden in Alabama.

Not sure on accuracy but this tweet is stating Sumlin is going to be named new U of A head coach. University seeking to reduce 10 day wait period. Nice work Chief. https://twitter.com/playersprogramu/status/949498782550339584?ref_src=twcamp%5Eshare%7Ctwsrc%5Em5%7Ctwgr%5Eemail%7Ctwcon%5E7046%7Ctwterm...

You no it Arizona needs above more than anything else? Talent.

Definitely sensing a Turd in the Punch Bowl. First D backs execs countering claims, then sister referred into toxic work place, then texts that are clearly inconsistent with claimants
description of situation.

ramcat

Rhett on twitter claimed that claimant recommended her sister to multiple people, as a replacement into the devastating work place. Smells like rot!!

ramcat

Why... Why is this a thing. No to Yates. Why not Yates? I like how the D is trending. That's all on him. I am tired of triple digit undersized defenses. Plus, I agree with Chief that we need to spark attendance. Yates doesn't do that. Sione 330lbs, PJ 320, Mykee and Boles go 305, so assuming they s...

Recruiting violations on top of hookers? In the environment currently, just can't see that happening. Certainly has some success at Ole Miss though.

Dont really like Helfrich either but seems the biggest failure when he was at Oregon, was on the D side of the ball, and recruiting. Yates seems to have some momentum on both.

Did I hear correctly, that beyond RR, it was said that coaching staff and players were and complicit in harrassment?

ramcat

improving from 117th to 109th in scoring defense and 127th to 119th in 3rd down defense plus dropping from 115th to 119th in total defense really screams "lets keep these guys, they're doing great!"

Talked about him a bit, if went the alumni angle, I'd think he should be on the top of the list. Could have Chuck/Salvea run his Defense. Don't see it though.

ramcat

Seems Chief has been pretty absent in all of this, so guessing with his mentions of Sumlin previously, that he might prefer to let all the banter go on, and then jump back in upon announcement, that he tried to let the board know, and that his inside access has been validated.
