Duane Akina according to Chief

Dear lord.... Why would you skip Lance Anderson to interview a guy that works for him?

Just stop with this tired old CEO bullshit. Tomey would be a poor man's Herm Edwards. Just hire a coach who will COACH

You understand the coordinators COACH, right?

And he would be a poor mans Herm, but he'd be paid that way too so we can get ELITE COACHES at the coordinator spots.

If we do it YOUR WAY, we end up with Navy's coach (until he turns us down) and then end up with Rocky Long. Fuck. that. route.

The local guys are still saying no, but this is what I was alluding to yesterday. Heard it was a matter of time and booster commitment.

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2018 12:24 pm**

These "leaks" were probably well planned to get donors to pony up to fund Sumlin's assistants.

Yes

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2018 12:26 pm**

Well, it was a whole two days before we had new reports about Sumlin. So.....I'm still waiting.

It was all a donor ploy.

Is anyone confirming this besides Gil Brandt?

That SEC article I quoted was Gil Brandt's declaration. So far that is the only person who said anything.

using the same source, Gil Brandt

Just wait it out guys. I don’t think it would smart to make an official announcement until after the NFL playoff games. Just an idea. They’d probably want it to resound and reverberate.

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2018 12:38 pm**

You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

Of COURSE I know that coordinators and position coaches coach. But you keep wanting a head COACH who doesn't coach at all, Which, to me, is stupid. And I have posted in this thread that I did NOT want to see Navy's coach here. I want to see a head coach who will actually COACH, though.

Guess we have to thank Machina and this dude.

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2018 12:40 pm**

Dallas News just reported Gil Brandt's tweet. So it is getting picked up nationally. Still only one source though.

Would like some clarification as well. It is coming from an NFL guy... Hard to believe anything at this point.

Feldman is all the confirmation I need.

Boosters must have had a change of heart.

Sporting News says multiple sources, but doesn't list them.

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2018 12:45 pm**

We just got so fucking lucky. It was looking bleak for a second there.

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2018 12:46 pm**

If Feldman tweets it, it's done.

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2018 12:46 pm**

Oh hell yes - here’s to hoping that the 9th leak is the one that is right..

I am so happy right now. Yesterday was told it should be a few hours and I started getting nervous

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2018 12:49 pm**

I’m such an abused spouse at this point that I won’t truly believe it until the press conference.

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2018 12:50 pm**

Biggest hire in Arizona history. Huge!!!!!!! It elevates the program. I’m buying tickets.

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2018 12:50 pm**

I wonder if anyone's told Heeke yet?

I have never seen such excitement and joy from 95% of the board agreeing on one thing. I love it. Lets get beers.

Not going to lie this made me lol

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2018 12:55 pm**

Can someone in the know please post the official announcement from the University of Arizona?

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2018 12:56 pm**

If true this is probably the best scenario we could've hoped for and is certainly 10x an upgrade over RR. Well worth firing him. Now Sumlin needs to recruit recruit recruit.

Posted: **Sun Jan 14, 2018 12:57 pm**

Lmao all the hand wringing. Classic all time thread.
