I think not, But if you want to throw in the white flag and hoping of a repeat of last season, Go join the people at Desert Swarm community they already been giving up.CalStateTempe wrote:We're gonna be a dumpster fire this upcoming season.
It's like RichRod wants to get fired and collect his $8,912,500 buyout, then go back to the broadcast booth. Work 1/10th as hard and enjoy life.CalStateTempe wrote:We're gonna be a dumpster fire this upcoming season.

We are all rooting for RR and family but when you look at the roster next year name one NFL or all league guy? Alsadek maybe but I can't think of many. Hopefully we are surprised

The answer is no. Don't forget about Tilford.Merkin wrote:Assuming Nick Wilson gets hurt as expected, can JJ Taylor be an every down back?
He only lists at 5'6", making him probably 5'4" with shoes off.
Mccaffrey measured 5'11" at the combine.
Myles Gaskin lists at 5'10".
With no passing attack, not sure any RB can put up with 8 in the box like was mentioned above.
Chief, you have been one of the drama queens. I am very aware of the problems within that program but I refuse to be Chicken Little running around squawking that the sky is falling. I will always look for and hope for the best. I'm sorry if that bothers people here but oh well. There are people that come here and are actually hoping and rooting for the coaches demise. I don't get that at all. When people do that they're rooting against their team. I do not want to start over and if RR can right the ship then let him and lets move on. If he can't, we'll know it soon enough. In the meantime I will continue to root for him and the team. Personally I think there's a lot to be excited about this fall. I think Dawkins has really been working on his passing game and I'm anxious to see it. I'm excited to see Wilson and Tyler healthy. I don't know if they'll stay that way but I'm sure excited to see. I'm excited about our young defensive ends and to see how a big ugly Polynesian nose tackle is going to perform. We have a secondary that actually has had some decent recruiting the past couple of years and I'm anxious to see them. They may all turn out to be crap but in the meantime, I'm excited to see them.chiefzona wrote:whatisee wrote:No matter what happens now people are going to complain and cry.

In defense of the drama queens, there isn't much to be excited or happy about. Plus, a lot of pundits talked Rich Rod up and refused to hear anything negative against him. Shit caught up with everyone finally. Now Grandma's can even see the problems within the program including the terrible recruiting and player development. Like Trumplestilskin says.....sad.
Why? The question was name one NFL or all league guy that will be on the roster next year. I used Jacquizz's measurements as a example awhile back (5'6" 205 lbs) and by the way, collecting a decent salary for the past 5 or 6 years from the NFL. I never said that (JJ) would be a every down back. I do believe we will all enjoy having this kid at Arizona and can't wait for his next highlight reel. Scouts will take notice, let's see how this all unfolds....chiefzona wrote:Sid wrote:JJ Taylorazcat49 wrote:No no, positive thinking and positive comments will fix everything.

I love JJ but that's a stretch.
A person who calls out exactly what's happening in the program is not a drama queen. But, you're entitled to your opinion. Rich Rod has caused a lot of the drama himself. This will be a VERY interesting season to say the least.tgrumpy2 wrote:Chief, you have been one of the drama queens.

5'6 205. JJ is 5'6 170 soaking wet. He gotta bulk up a lot and that will take away some speed and quickness. I love watching JJ but he's gotta bulk up to stay healthy.Sid wrote:Why?

For whatever it's worth, I don't think Jacquizz was anywhere near 205 lbs. as a college sophomore. Perhaps even closer to J.J.'s 170. Apples to apples, Chief.chiefzona wrote:5'6 205.

I support this 100%. Can't wait to see how things play out. This has all the making of a great sports movie. Coach down and out on his luck at a historically football challenged school. A team made up of a hodgepodge of characters...some trying to make a name (tilford, eletise) some on the second/third/or last chance (tate) some that no one thought could do it because of their size (JJ) and yet others who had serious injuries plague them (Wilson). Yes, I'm always optimistic this time of year and my heart gets ripped out eventually, but that is what is why I am a fanatic. I like to cheer for the underdog anyways so this team was hand built for me.tgrumpy2 wrote:I am very aware of the problems within that program but I refuse to be Chicken Little running around squawking that the sky is falling.

Yes. He is currently in charge of JC recruiting in AZ and CA. I don't know much about his evaluation prowess, however I think having a young coach out there that knows the JC and recruiting process can only help what I believe to be a stale recruiting program. It cannot hurt....only help.

I would bet BJ could sell the shit out of the program! Unleash this kid and let him run point on recruiting HS QB's, couldn't hurt....
I think you falsely equate wanting a coach to be replaced with wanting the team to fail. I want RR gone now, because I do not think we will succeed within the time the admin is likely to grant him - that's just too big a task given the state of the roster and his history in recruiting. Since I believe he cannot accomplish that turnaround and will eventually be fired, I would like to see him fired ASAP. A new coach is like playing the lottery. You need to move on ASAP if they're not successful in building the program.tgrumpy2 wrote:Chief, you have been one of the drama queens.

How did you get from I want UA to succeed to what you just said previously? That make no sense. Your doubling down.Puerco wrote:Thanks for telling me what I think, guys. That's precious. Let me be clear for your simple minds, even though it's probably wasting my time:
I want UA to succeed.
If UA succeeds under RichRod, then that's the best scenario because it's probably got to happen now or he's out.
I believe RichRod has one year, possibly two, to turn the program around before UA fires him.
I believe the chances of RichRod succeeding within 1-2 years given the state of the roster and the level of recruiting he's had lately is close to zero.
Therefore I believe it would have been better to let him go last year.
I see the coming two years as wasted, since RR is almost certain to get canned and we'll be starting from scratch.
That's logic, for all the good it did to explain to those of you who don't seem to use it. I don't mind if you disagree with me, that's fine, but accusing me of wanting the program, the coach, or any of the players to fail is straight bullshit.

Wanting someone fired because they're not getting the job done both in recruiting and on the field isn't the same as wanting them to fail while they're here.
