Is getting a 1 year contract extension and a 100K because god hates us.

I wanna die.

This might be the second worst thing I've heard about UofA in the last 3 years. Only behind UArizona.

Extension? Isn't this clown already signed thru 2022? Did we need to make sure that McDonalds doesn't steal him away from us?

What a joke!

I guess someone likes him, Robbins?

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Tue Nov 19, 2019 1:53 pm

Is the replacement landscape out there so bleak that he could negotiate an extra year?

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Tue Nov 19, 2019 1:53 pm

It's a reflection of bad shit happening at the top. Not just at "UArizona", but also at all public universities.

StickItInTheyFace · Post by **StickItInTheyFace** » Tue Nov 19, 2019 1:59 pm

There was some talk that we wanted to hold onto Heeke until the basketball scandal was cleared and repercussions were dealt with. Could it be that they think it's going to extend farther into the future than we thought? It seems extremely far out, however, I can't come to terms that they are extending him because they think he's doing a good job lol.

Basketball stuff will come out well before 2023.

Robbins has got to go.

I guess if Larry Scott can make what he makes doing as shitty a job in his dual role as the PAC 12 commissioner and PAC 12 annihilator, we could do worse is the thought?

Lol to add insult to injury Greg Byrne got an extension too.

Robbins is a bumbling oaf. Our entire administration is an embarrassment and has been so for years.

There's not even a strategic purpose to this extension honestly. I don't understand its purpose outside of rewarding some guy for being part of the good ol' boys club.

catgrad97 · Post by **catgrad97** » Tue Nov 19, 2019 6:34 pm

Pretty much that's all it sounds like.

Which would go a long way to explain Larry Scott's continued tenure...

Soooo which booster is out?

azgreg · Post by **azgreg** » Tue Nov 19, 2019 8:07 pm

Let's play a little devil's advocate here. If you take away the suck that is the football program and his handling of the FBI deal what does that leave us? I don't have any knowledge of his handling of boosters so others will have to weigh in on that. It seems to me though that most of the remaining teams are performing at a high level.

Did he hire any of those coaches? I think Barnes is the most recent successful hire, think she was Byrne. Amato definitely was. Has Heeke actually done anything?

He hired Kevin Sumlin and turned off our biggest football booster off so bad he's written us off completely.

Lifetime contract is in the works I'm sure after the extension is approved.

Our most successful coaches were hired by Livengood (Miller), Byrne (Jay Johnson, Adia Barnes, Tony Amato), or were legends he inherited (Ianello & Candrea)

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Wed Nov 20, 2019 2:17 pm

Miller needs to get to the FF or win a chipper so he can run the AD like K, Roy, or Sabin.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Wed Nov 20, 2019 2:23 pm

Is our biggest football booster Jeff Stevens or is it the folks from Indiana who owned the RV company and sold it and moved out here and gave us millions?

And like Lute did when Livengood was AD.

That's why the UA was able to keep the cactus logo on the court long after the university deemed it obsolete.

Thanks Choo. That's what I thought the hiring history was, but I have a foggy memory and knew someone could confirm it for me.

So literally anybody on this board could do a better job.

Guess we need to hope Heeke and Sumlin go out together then.

Listening to Jennifer Cohen, the UDub AD, during this Washington game and I have to say,.....

Heeke can’t hold her jockstrap.

I don’t really know if it was Heeke’s decision, but whoever decided not to release the NOA when it was first issued is a stone cold fucking moron.

Instead of talking about this nothingburger once, we got to hear rampant speculation months ago and now we get to go through the ringer all over again after losing in court.

Can we please hire someone who can find their ass with both hands to make these decisions??

1. I wish I could tell you a decision of that magnitude would be up to Dave Heeke considering his job, but I can't.
2. Even if a decision of that magnitude would be up to Dave Heeke, he'd make the wrong decision 10 times out of 10.

Honestly if you want to know what Dave Heeke actually has input on, take a look at anything that has to do with Baseball and Softball. That's about it. Even then all he's done is extended Candrea and Jay and that was years ago.

Guy is a puppet who is pretty good for nothing. Pretty sure Robbins has him in his position just to say they have an AD, but we all know who really makes the decisions. Funny thing is both him and Robbins are stupid. I'd love for Robbins to lose his position and the new president fires Heeke, but I highly doubt that'll happen unfortunately

Truthfully my concern is Robbins let's Heeke go before Robbins's time is up and he hires another puppet and gives him a 5 year contract. That's a way worse of a scenario than both of these dipshits riding into the sunset when their contracts are both up.

BeardownZonaZona · Post by **BeardownZonaZona** » Sat Mar 06, 2021 10:07 am

I never even thought about that... That would be the absolute worst possible thing that could happen. I have my fears now. I always say that the worst thing to happen would be these clowns conducting a basketball coaching search and hire. That'd be something but what you just sad Choo would be pretty darn bad

That would be Robbins because of the ego bruise of him screwing up the Book interview.
