Re: Arizona Coaching Search
So KN is like hiring Tomey from 30 years ago? Certainly fits in with his Stone-Age offense! It'll feel like we've gone back in time! Bring on the wishbone! The pooch punt! The fumble-rooskie! The drop-kick field goal!zonagrad wrote:I understand the reaction. And actually, it's not unlike the hire of Tomey 30 years ago from Hawaii. Who the hell was Dick Tomey? Hawaii was so far off the football map it wasn't even funny. But Tomey had a good lineage and bloodlines, much like coach N. Will they translate the same? Coach N is getting this job precisely because Tomey was a consultant to Heeke and preached about getting a coach who can build a culture at Arizona. The biggest question for me is what kind of staff will the new head coach put together and how will that translate to recruiting.qwertyus wrote:I'll support whoever is hired because I support the team. KN is just a fucking terrible hire, that's all.
A. Fucking. Terrible. Bullshit. Hire.
I'm not concerned about running the triple option. If that's part of the deal, then yes we're truly screwed. But I don't think a coach like N. is married to that offense. It's simply what works best at a service academy because is gives you the best chance for success.
Hiring coach N. certainly doesn't win the press conference. But come next fall, if the program is headed in the right direction then nobody will remember the press conference. Back to Tomey's hiring, that was about as close to losing the press conference as you could get. And Tomey's first season certainly underwhelmed with 3 ties. But the culture was built for Arizona football. It slogged along a few years and then really got rolling in the 90's. I think that's Heeke's strategy, like it or not.
Way to stick with the times, Heeke. ASU hires an ancient coach. We just hire a younger coach whose ideas are ancient.
If he gets young, amazing assistants, then maybe I can pretend like this is like hiring Beau Baldwin. But at the moment, it looks like we're trying to outdo ASU with the worst coaching hire.

Re: Arizona Coaching Search
After much thought and research I can now say if Ken Nuimatalolo is our coach, I'm fully on board. We're all wildcats at heart.
He and the team will get my full support as this journey unfolds and we will all see together if he can find the magic at Arizona. If he is the guy I hope the team rallies around him and gives him a chance.
I do know this, he will do things the right way. Win or lose he will do the right thing. It doesn't mean success in the PAC 12 will be achieved, but integrity and leadership will go along way.
Coordinators and position coaches are going to be huge in this equation.

Agree with the bolded. No idea who the OC will be, or who will be brought in.

He’s one season from being able to enter the draft, so I’d tell him to stick it out.Harvey Specter wrote:I think he is an outstanding coach and person and an awful hire.
If Khalil was your kid, would you tell him to stay or transfer? Be honest.. take off the red&blue goggles and pretend that his best interests were yours.
If he takes a step back next season his mom can publicly say the change in systems was a minor setback and his agent in waiting can privately float that Ken’s system was never a good fit but that he’s a loyal kid trying to do the right thing.
And then everyone hopes/prays that a team takes a flyer based on 6 games his sophomore season and his combine numbers.
Or best case, the new system protects him from injury and allows him to run & throw to the best of his ability and he leaves and has a better draft position.
Transferring really only delays everything a year. I see no advantage to that for Khalil. We live in a short attention span world. If he sits a year, people will forget and need to be reminded he was the most electrifying player in all of college football for a third of a season.

Re: Arizona Coaching Search
Exciting fan-loved hires often are busts
Boring head scratcher hires sometimes sometimes work out.
I don't know anything about this guy, seems totally out of left field... but if he is our coach, I'm gonna root for him and our team. Am I going to rush out and buy season tickets? No... but guess what... I wouldn't have done that if Nick Saban was announced as our HC. Instead I'll do what I always do... get tickets with my son for 1 or 2 games and try to watch the rest on some sort of illegal stream. What I won't do is swear off this team until he he can prove he can be winning 10 games a year, 4 years from now. That's ridiculous.
The reality is... we will probably continue to be all middle of the Pac team with some years being a ray of hope and others near the bottom... same as we would be with any coach that we brought in.
Go Cats!

Re: Arizona Coaching Search
This hire does not win the press conference but I will support him 100%. I would be shocked if he continued to run the same offense as he did at Navy. I'm pretty sure Heeke brought that up in the interview. Who knows, maybe he will bring Joe Salave'a on-board. I know there are many people upset it's not Sumlin, but I hope everyone will give him a chance. Welcome KN and Bear Down!

Re: Arizona Coaching Search
We assume it's been a wild ride but say that without having any info from Heeke and the AD. All the leaks and supposed chaos has come from elsewhere. Heeke was in a no-win situation here. Retain a coach who is already not that well-liked and is suddenly accused of sexual harassment and embroiled in a lawsuit or fire him knowing the bulk of the college hiring season has already passed you by and you might not have the greatest pool of candidates to work from? It's clear to me he realizes the PR mess that the AD is in and had pretty much had it. Character matters more than style points at this juncture. No idea how Coach Ken will work out, but I think the coordinator hires could really make (or break) his time here if he decides to come west.
Odds are good that you're going to have unhappy players no matter what. You'll have defections no matter the hire. We had some less than week after Rich was fired and when Sumlin was the hot name. *Shrug* And you certainly don't gamble your program's fortunes and image on a single player or even group of players who haven't played a down for the incoming coach. There's already been too much of the inmates running the asylum in this AD over the last 4-5 years and this hire tells me that Heeke's pretty much had it with the BS. That's my take, anyway.
To me, the most egregious thing that's happened over the last few days is the players popping off on Twitter.

I can promise 90% of the people upset haven't watched a Navy football game nor understand that the Triple Option is not what he will run here.
I've watched Navy a lot because I follow AAC football. They are so well coached it is disgusting. They do all the right things, the play calling, situational awareness, and decision making is absolutely elite. And no it isn't because they run the Triple Option or a disciplined service academy. They are just crazy well coached team.
I wanted Sumlin but it appears he wasn't convinced he could win here despite us coming up with the money. Arizona isn't a desirable job, just face it. Would you want to coach at a place that has no money and half empty stadiums in the second half? Go to games around the country. Arizona football just sucks compared to other stadiums and places you walk into.
I strongly believe the Ken N is by far the best that we could have done.
The way they play has a LOT to do with them being a service academy... and that is 100% a statement of respect and not criticism.
But if you want to attribute of hard, smart, disciplined play of military cadets 100% to the coach, be my guest.

I mean, if that’s the case, why bother? Disband football and join the Zags and Saint Mary’s in the WCC.
Mike Stoops... the hottest young Coordinator..... Rose Bowl here we come!!!
Rich Rod... how did we land him? A Homerun hire!!!!!
Ken Nuimatalolo... Who the fuck is he? Welcome to the basement of the Pac....
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Serious question: what is it about being a service academy that demands it run a triple option offense in order to succeed?Harvey Specter wrote:The rest of your take is highly debatable, but the part in bold is flat out nonsense.UofAlum05 wrote:Lots of people who don't know jack shit are seeing a few people pissed and have decided to join the bandwagon. I can promise 90% of the people upset haven't watched a Navy football game nor understand that the Triple Option is not what he will run here.
I've watched Navy a lot because I follow AAC football. They are so well coached it is disgusting. They do all the right things, the play calling, situational awareness, and decision making is absolutely elite. And no it isn't because they run the Triple Option or a disciplined service academy. They are just crazy well coached team.
I wanted Sumlin but it appears he wasn't convinced he could win here despite us coming up with the money. Arizona isn't a desirable job, just face it. Would you want to coach at a place that has no money and half empty stadiums in the second half? Go to games around the country. Arizona football just sucks compared to other stadiums and places you walk into.
I strongly believe the Ken N is by far the best that we could have done.
The way they play has a LOT to do with them being a service academy... and that is 100% a statement of respect and not criticism.
But if you want to attribute of hard, smart, disciplined play of military cadets 100% to the coach, be my guest.
Re: Arizona Coaching Search
I hate the defeatist attitude of so many fans on here. Assuming we'll always be the same program no matter who we hire is bullshit. If we actually invested as a program into improving, we would. Kansas State, Wisconsin, Florida State, Miami... all were mediocre to awful programs before they got the right coach.
i was going to put the ua/asu records here...but i forgot what they were.
i'll just go with fuck asu.
