For sure. Just look at what he's done at ASU. Absolutely incredible.

Personally I would have picked Whittingham.

Can someone tell me why Helfrich is so low?

Oh how nice, some guys opinion, I'm glad to see you're so proud about it.

Our Pac 12 Coach of the Year says hi.

How many BCS bowls has he been to? RR 1 Toad 0 just at AZ

I didn't know Athlonsports determines who's the best coach?

RR has not been to a BCS bowl at UofA, because there are no BCS bowls. 2nd place in the Pac used to get you the Holiday Bowl, this year it was the Fiesta Bowl.

Hasn't been the holiday bowl for 2nd place for like 5 years. How many playoff level bowls has Graham been to?

Ok Scummy, you are technically right. Hater said it right though. The Toad has not made an at large big bowl and RR has. Have to be in the playoff top 10 to be an at large pick so lets see if the Toad ever gets there

He also went to what, 4 BCS bowls when they were around

The only part of this post that is correct is that it's true RR hasn't taken Arizona to a BCS bowl, because in the 16-year history of the BCS, neither Arizona nor Arizona St. made a BCS bowl.

They are now called New Year's 6 Bowls. Arizona made one last year. It is slightly easier to make a NY6 Bowl than a BCS bowl. (12 teams vs. 10 teams)
Obviously, ASU has never made a NY6 Bowl.

Arizona was not in the Fiesta Bowl because they finished second in the PAC-12. They were in a NY6 Bowl, the Fiesta, because they finished in the Top 10 of the
final regular season CFP rankings and had to be chosen. The second place team in the PAC-12 now goes to the Alamo Bowl. Because Arizona made a New Year's Six Bowl,
UCLA moved up and took that spot.

The year before when ASU won the PAC-12 South, they would have been eligible for a BCS at-large berth if they had been in the Top 14 of the final regular season BCS rankings.
They finished 15th. The Fiesta Bowl would probably have taken them. Instead, they went to the Holiday Bowl which was the PAC-12 second place team at that time.

Oh, and one more thing. Under the new rules, any of the other two years of the three year rotation, Arizona goes to the Rose Bowl for finishing second when the PAC-12 champ is in one of the semifinal games, like Oregon was last year.

Guess who is number 7 and who is number 4???:

If all of these rankings are subjective, than I will just go by the head-to-head records then......

The Honorable Coach Todd Graham - 2
Richard Rod - 1

Actually, it's only: What have you done for me lately?
is all that matters.

Those smiles will turn to tears soon enough......
