I think we are taking advantage of the new world order (aka Transfer Portal) where pretty good players at major programs want to showcase their skills, i.e. getting immediate playing time. That's a good thing and Fisch appears to be nailing that along with convincing HS kids to come to Arizona. But...

This idea that you have to have spent 20 years coaching to recognize when playcalling is suboptimal is hilarious to me. We went 1-11. We scored less than 20 touchdowns during the entire season. If you think Jedd called the right play 99% of the time but for some reason they just didn’t work, you ma...

When Mike Stoops took over, the team played hard through two 3-8 seasons. D looked much improved over the Macko-disaster, but the O? A delay of game coming off a tv timeout was the Canales special! After two years, Stoops had enough, hired Sonny Dykes, and the team went 6-6 the next year. Well, Mac...

Got it. Does seem that he's for the most part, moved sideways, and think if not for Bobbie, that trend would have continued.

And the only Arizona head coach to lose to NAU in anyone's living memory. There is a reason why only 15,000 people are going to the games. But take care of ASU and all is forgiven. Until next season. Don Brown needs an extended contract though. Defense hasn't been this good since the Mark Stoops er...

Actually, it's been fun and funny! Enjoying watching the farce thus far, lol. Have seen some good stuff primarily from the defense. Holding back the team as much as anything has been Fisch play calling and management of offense. Think he's over his head, but do think the team has played hard. Makes...

Get that, but in your example, Saban 13 employers 47 yrs, Meyer 9 in 36, Franklin 12 in 20, Leipold 6 in 34, Brown 10 in 47. Fisch is 15 in 24 with last being QB coach for Cam which was a disaster, and only being hired at AZ as HC because of Bobbie or likely an Asst somewhere else.

Utah was in classic position of looking to next week's game against the Ducks. Barely beat Cal, missing a third of their team or more. Next year they got Miss St, and San Diego St out of conference, but probably get past North Dakota St., though they're no slouch winning their conference again. Thin...

ramcat

Its not like the usual bottom feeders haven't improved as well like Oregon St, and Washington St Don't see more than a couple conference wins a year most likely, which won't cut it if new Administration is in place. Coming in with next to no expectations was perfect for Fisch, let's see what happens...

ramcat

Think it unlikely that Heeke and Robbins are gone? Even with improvement, Fisch might average 4-5 wins over next couple years, if new AD and President come in with zero ties to Jedd Lasso, doubt that will be enough for them to not to want their own guy. That's why I said I thought 24' would be criti...

Thinking and hoping Heeke and Bobbie aren't renewed, which would likely make 2024 a critical year for Fisch, if he makes it that far. New President and AD, might want their guy particularly if AZ is still wallowing at the bottom of the conference, which I think is likely.

ramcat

Credit to Cats playing hard to the end but minus their stud receiver, USC is not that good. Had lost 3 straight at home I believe, with each opponent over 40. Was impressed with Cal in previous win, and they just beat a good Beaver team, who had spanked Trojans in LA. Think Cal has lots of business ...

12 men on the field to end the game, what a effing sh't show.

Yep. In Pullman, right before ASU. Actually Cats play Wash St Nov 19th, ASU plays them Oct 30th. Don't think it'll matter about coaches being let go due to Vaccine mandates, Cougs by 14+ easy.

Would imagine every recruit and coach know that the convo about future playing time is all projection. Pretty sure Choir boy Tommy would also present positive leaning projections for targeted recruits.

Look if you want to know the primary difference between Miller and Lloyd when it comes to recruiting it’s this: Sean Miller had zero problem lying. Tommy Lloyd refuses to lie. I know you know a lot about the program and have inside info. And we appreciate the info you bring But I call bullshit on t...

There's a part of me that hopes a portion, if not more, of the core keeps transfer plans quiet, communicating on the sly, and then jet together at last minute, to send Big FU to the University. Only to help the cause of having the 2 shitheads ushered out. Sure hope I somehow cross paths with them to...

Not buying this story for a minute. Lloyd appears to be heir apparent there and takes over program with very uncertain future?
Would think he'd take over in a couple years, or slightly more, and if not, go to a solid gig without the possible drama ahead.

ramcat

Didn't catch whole interview with Gambo, but one memorable quote by Fisch is its easy to recruit to U of A.
Also, stated that by recruiting California at Michigan, one yr at UCLA and LA Rams, that he's been in on the West Coast for 5 of the last 6 yrs.
Delusional comes to mind.

Is the thought that the, Good guys won, definitively mean Brennan or just not Fisch? Brennan is about year from extension, parents went there, saying is making long term commitment, 1st year smelling success, and ahead of end of year bowl game, has me leaning Pierce. Just announced as interviewing t...

Scheer saying that there 4 still in play, Brennan, Fisch, Pierce and Dillingham. The fact that Pierce has entered the fray, has me questioning the Brennan announcement being delayed because of waiting till SJSU season end. Pierce seems to me, to be leverage play but Scheer claims serious discussions...

ramcat

Is anyone directly familiar with Brennan buyout? Saw link about his extension, and it mentioned a years salary, which post extension, was said to be $850k.
Think in light of Sumlin debacle, that might make him slightly less viable depending on other contract detail.

Now Antonio Pierce is back in the fold? What are we doing? https://twitter.com/SunDevilSource/status/1341521779798335488 Arizona State co-defensive coordinator Antonio Pierce has had serious conversations with University of Arizona officials about its head coaching vacancy and is interested in the ...

ramcat

Would think at some point there could be some pressure on Brennan to deny his interest/acceptance of AZ job, so absent that and announcing of other coach, I'm convinced it's Brennan taking over.

If it’s Fisch there will be multiple boosters who will be out for a long long time. Like... new AD, new President long time. And long time fans that may never come back. Yeah, the program would have zero support and zero funding from both the rich and the peasants. Not exactly a recipe for success....

If we are talking former players with zero coaching experience and it was Bruschi, I’d pretty much jump at it at this point if Brennan turns us down. But it’s Cason. Just don’t know that he’s enough of a “name” to play that CEO/ambassador role. Would agree, Brushki has that. Still unsure of viabili...

I don’t believe Dillingham called plays at any of his OC stops. With that said I’d still take him over Fisch. Ugh, didn't realize that. Not that it means much but Scheer has him at 3 on his coaching board, with at least one big boosters support. Would take him over mystery candidate? Any interest i...

ramcat

Keep in mind Herm coached at the highest level. Cason has NFL experience but I don't think his stint in San Diego matches the leadership traits Herm has acquired over the years as an NFL coach. Agreed. Lack of coaching experience is likely deal killer. Not sure how ASU does from here, but they seem...
