Bear Down Wildcats

More like a blizzard of apathy and lack of support. I don't even care enough to go out of my way to express anger.

Michigan fans are the only ones who seem to like Fisch somewhat.

By the way, I am entering the Fan Transfer portal. Who shoukd I change my football allegiance too?

I grew up raised as a UCLA fan, but I don't really see how that's any better

So I asked yesterday how a university president is relieved of his duties but it must have been an unpopular question because it didn't get a response. Is he untouchable unless the AZBOR decides maybe he should go when the last embers finally burn out?

I don't blame Fisch for our President's ineptitude. I wish him luck but I have no clue how he's going to be successful at Arizona.

So my fandom will shift primarily to both our men's and women's bball teams. Also, it looks like our baseball team will be pretty good.
And let's not forget about our kickass softball team.

Ouch

Can we unring the bell?! If I lived in Tucson, I'd join the protest to unring/unseat Robbins. Complete embarrassment.

Heeke has no choice but to resign. How can you operate like this.

The text I got from my "source" said its now clear that Robbins is the AD and he is a bad one at that.

One good thing, I can now save money on starting up Sling TV later, which I have been doing lately anyway the last couple of years due to the disaster of Sumlin football.

Who would hire Heeke with his disastrous hires, and lack of balls?

SCLSU? Even that is debatable. He might have to go manage a Golf Course somewhere.

He didn’t resign the last time he was cucked. Why start now?

Cattracks weighs in.

1. He has no balls to stand up for himself, he's a simp

2. He wants to keep making $€£¥¢

3. No one would hire him with this terrible track record of hiring

$750k a year to have zero responsibility is hard to walk away from.

We can add this to the top of a totally shit pile 2020...

Yeah, probably why Robbins extended him. He knows he can walk all over him.

I bleed Wildcat Blue and Red, but, I cannot get behind this hire at all. Christmas has been ruined along with any hopes of the football program ever becoming relevant on a regional or national level again. Hell even prep football programs will be laughing at this hire for years to come. I never thought I would say this in my 45 years of support for UofA football...

R.I.P UofA football. I never waivered in my support when times were lean. I had faith that things would get better. Eventually they did. When times were good, I soaked them up and I will always cherish them. Now the time has come to say good luck and farewell. I am not willing to follow you down the dark and dreary road you are about to journey down. I'd rather consider supporting your arch-enemy than suffer through the pain you are about to stumble into.

You are officially dead to me.

I was not in favor any of our former players taking over as HC..... but NONE of them (including Cason) would be any riskier that this dude we hired plus all would have the community and alumni behind them from day 1.

This is just beyond stupid

This is worse than a poor man's meal. It's a bowl of razor blades.

Rehire Sumlin or we riot!!

there has to be something positive about the hire...please give it to me....

I've decided I'm team Michigan Wolverines and Washington Huskies. You're welcome to join either bandwagon.

Sumlin is happy. I guess that is a positive.

Sad when rehiring the 2nd worst coach in the last 40 years is almost palatable to this. Get our 7.5 million back. Lol

I'm sure the booster who ponied up that money is just thrilled he invested in this.

I wouldn't watch college basketball or college football if I wasn't rooting for my school.

It's just incredibly boring imo.

Guess I'll continue not watching cfb and continue to rage against Miller's continual fetishization and marriage to the concept of playing twin towers.

I hope his pledge is revocable, because he has to be shitting bricks and pissing nails about now.

I'm pushing my daughter to go to UCLA or Washington.

Because f*ck my alma mater, and what it has become. This is like having a boss with extremely bad dementia. This was an existential test of Arizona football, and a peripheral party forced failure.

Same here, I used to watch college football all day Saturday, and NFL all day Sunday, along with a lot of NCAA basketball.

Now it's just the UA, and only make a point now for UA basketball.



At least Pierce was able to play ASU into a raise. Nice work!

Eh, I like watching college football. I might as well have someone to root for while I do.

Honestly, in recent CFB history...has there ever been a harder pooch screwing than this? I mean really?

Rooting for Brent Brennan to become the greatest head coach in history

I can't say I am divorcing Arizona Football but we are separated right now. Who knows if College Football will even be a thing when/if we reconcile.

SoCal AZ Alums, are you getting as many Jed the Fish jokes lobbed at you this morning? Was Kevin Bean already hired elsewhere?

Giving Sumlin an astronomical buyout after he'd just been fired?

I feel like we're only competing with ourselves in incompetence at this point.

And the Jedd Fisch era is off!

It appears that only 5-10% of fans are willing to give it a chance and the other 90-95% is pissed. I’m seeing zero excitement. And I mean none. Has that combination ever worked. Next year season ticket numbers will be really bad.

Brennan was such an easy hire. Everyone was onboard and happy.

I can’t wait for that huge buy out because he’s friends with Robbins. Does Robbin get a cut?

I called the AZ Board of Regents and was told the best way to share your opinion is to leave a written message @ https://azregents.edu/contact-us

That's exactly what I did. Before I write off U of A football, we owe it to our school to try and fix the problem. The U of A is held hostage by Robbins and he's got to go along with rescinding Fisch's contract. Also, ideally, we should replace them with highly competent alumni.

Are we going to get the results from the search firm? Money well spent I'm sure.

What was all that shit Heeke said in the presser a few days ago about getting someone that understood our tradition and that would stick around? 12 jobs in 22 years?
No HC experience? Does Fisch have any ties at all to us besides being Robbins buddy?

If this is true and he's our guy, im pulling for him and our program, but jeez.

Good thing the university is flush with cash

I emailed the ABOR also. While I doubt the quality of a candidate for football coach is a top priority, the nepotism and waste of resources hopefully is.

Let's fire up the Coach hot board now

We'll need it in 2-3 years.

Who is the next head coach of SJSU? I like him.

Thank you for the link. I sent them an email also telling them, among other things, that I wont be renewing my season tickets after 12 years and won’t be donating anything to the University until both Robbins and Fisch are gone.

Honestly though, is anyone really surprised this happened?

PieceOfMeat wrote: Tue Dec 22, 2020 12:53 am I think it's all a smoke screen and Jay Hill is the surprise hire.

just kiddin we'll probably end up with fisch knowing our luck

The worst thing about this hire is the sheer lack of vision. Lets say Fisch actually is a good coach, it won't matter. He is inheriting a complete shit show and it is gonna take him at least 3 to 4 years to get it going. Being that the fan and alumni support for this hire is nil, good luck getting those 3rd and 4th years to build. If Fisch goes 1-11 and 2-10 in years 1 and 2 it's a wrap. Robbins is a complete boob.

The card board cut outs are cancelling their seats at this point.
