I come back to winning. We win enough, the support will come. When Stoops was close to the Pac crown, the interest was there. Then the fans prematurely rushed the field vs Oregon.
That's what I'm hoping for with Sumlin. Consistently competing for the Pac, even if not every year, would be a good marker.
I may be wrong, but I don't recall RR doing much of that.
I really like this then. Coach Sumlin putting things back on track.

A lot of concerns were him pulling a Taggert and leaving first year or two. For that kind of money, even if he did leave, we'd probably be winning and get a nice salary start for the next coach. That number alleviates basically all of my concerns.NYCat wrote:

Stupid people generally agree with each other. Happens on this board all the time, and your fanbase has a LOT more of them.Scummy Dick Douglas wrote:He’s not wrong.scumdevils86 wrote:Typical hilarious post this week on the scum board:

FINALLY we have an AD who knows how to negotiate a contract.NYCat wrote:
That game was a tough pill for us to swallow, but if you go back and actually watch the game you'll see some pretty interesting things. Especially that last TD which was never reviewed. Now, I'm not here to say there weren't any mistakes on out end, there certainly were but lets look at the situation. Your starting QB goes down and now you are forced to play a True Fish, there was a plan in place to get him some reps but that was about it. Once UCLA saw that he couldn't pass, that was the game, the loaded the box and took the run away. Now, here is the straw that broke the Camels back! On his 3rd series, our offense was moving the ball, if you take away the incomplete passes in the series and just hick the ball with 3 seconds remaining, then UCLA runs out of time and they never get the last possession, much less even have time to try and onside kick. This was the biggest debacle of the game outside of some of the other miss cues.Scummy Dick Douglas wrote:He’s not wrong.scumdevils86 wrote:Typical hilarious post this week on the scum board:

I wonder if his Sumlin becoming Arizona's HC "source" was the press conference we held saying he was the HC.NYCat wrote:

RR did that too, but he is making a lot of good moves. I've gotten emails and recorded phone calls with him pitching tickets.Alieberman wrote:Hanging out with the zona zoo last night was a good move
I take it as he needs the fans to show up right away and it is on him and the team to make them wanting to come back.prh wrote:Every single time he has said about needing the fans and atmosphere at football games, he has explicitly said that it's on them to make it worthwhile for us. Subtle nuance in attitude but I think it is huge. He sees this entire endeavor as complete teamwork, with both the program and the fans holding up their end of the deal, but it starts with him and the team.

If you are talking about his interview during the basketball game, at first i thought he said, "Khalil Mack". So i rewinded and watched it a couple of times, and i'm pretty sure he said, "Khalil back", as in we have Khalil back next year. He said "back" two or three times in the same response, which might have been nerves, but i'm pretty sure he said "back".PieceOfMeat wrote:Ok, my first criticism of Coach is this:

I asked about this in the game thread, as I was hoping I simply misheard him (i was hoping he said back again) but everyone else heard Mack as wellProfessorFate wrote:If you are talking about his interview during the basketball game, at first i thought he said, "Khalil Mack".
