It's just an idea that this would be a destination job for an alumn who bleeds red and blue. Something they have waited for their whole life and would bring enthusiasm and a burning, hungry desire to succeed here for the long haul.

I would rather it be a Chuck Cecil type who was currently a hot successful HC at a smaller school, but I am willing to give my support to something other than being a stepping stone for someone or a career rehab or retirement gig for someone else.

I also agree it has probably already been decided by Heeke...and it likely is some old retread. Shrug. AZ football plods along.

I was told a name. It is someone who has been mentioned here. Can’t say more than that.

I saw Hansen pushing Cecil, Hunley and the UCLA one game HC, forgot his name.

THERE IS A REASON THEY ARE LIFE LONG POSITION COACHES.

if no one ever game them a chance at HC, there is a reason why. You don't do this in a P5 program.

If this happens, as with all things, some will be excited, some will be meh, a few may be unhappy. You can’t please all the people all the time.

I was pretty pleased, I’ll say that.

What has been the problem with him? I saw after teams, like Arkansas, investigated him further they backed off? Thought I read something about a possible gambling problem, but not sure.

That is word-for-word the first thing my friend in the AD texted me. Made me feel better immediately.

Makes me feel a lot better. With that cryptic message I have to think Sumlin. Still dreaming about Lane, but can't see that. I think us board fans are different than casual fans. Don't think the smaller school coaches (Klienman, Applewhite, Littrell, etc) would draw a casual fan to a game.
