Idiot I think not, I do know my IQ, you have no such information or insight on that matter, I’ll go out on a ledge here and state I think It may be a tad bit above where your’s might be, but none the less I do appreciate your commenting on my day dreaming thoughts. I am sure you are spot on with your thoughts, but then again you must be satisfied with average coaches and results. Remember if you aren’t ambitious enough to try for the best then be happy with the results the last 8 years.

Oh by the way It was day dreaming and wishful thinking, you know using your imagination, surely they have been teaching you that In school lately, right?

Sorry man, but you must be an idiot to think a former Super Bowl winning coach like Tony Dungy or Jon Gruden would even consider coming to Tucson, Arizona to coach our mediocre college football program. Even if they wanted to coach college football (which they clearly don’t), they would never take our job when they could easily land a premiere job at a real football school like Ohio St., who will be looking for a coach at the end of the season.

Guys-Rodriquez-no-Byre thinking we’re going to a bowl this year-whats he smoking? We need to get a young hungry guy in here that wants to recruit heads up with the rest of the PAC-when I saw the amount of Junior College transfers on the spring roster I knew we were in TROUBLE!

Heck while we all are throwing names around and day dreaming, let’s think big, dream outside of the box. How about Jon Gruden or Tony Dungy, they can coach, are proven coaches, hmmm might take a few bucks to sway one of them.

Who knows maybe they are tired of sitting around, maybe one of them might even like the challenge of teaching football again to younger adults in college, but would they be willing to take on a challenge such as rebuilding Arizona football? I don’t know, but hey if you don’t ask or think big, one never knows what could happen now do they.

I totally agree this article was spot on, but handled in a very professional matter. AG stated the facts just as they are and just as they have been for the last 8 years.

Rich Rodriguez? Very ugly exit at WVA followed by program implosion at Michigan.

“It fell apart soooo fast.”
Nah, not really. Stoops has never been able to win an important game. Oh, they could win a big game against better teams, but as soon as something was on the line, as soon as a win would put them into the Pac-whatever elite, they would always come out ill prepared and get stomped (see: 0-33 vs Nebraska). That points to the top.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Like it or not, it’s likely that Stoops gets one more year–regardless of how this season turns out. I actually think he’s going to salvage the season with wins against UCLA, CU, Utah, and La. Laf. If he can pull off an upset at UW or ASU, they would advance to a bowl payout game with a final chance at a 7th win. No way he gets terminated if that happens.

Lose next week at home however, and the rest of the schedule, and Mike Stoops’ future in Tucson becomes a real question mark.

I thought Oregon State was going to be a “final answer” type of exam–but now I think a win this week saves his job, but a loss this time removes all doubt.

This team needs some confidence real quick, and another loss at home, before achieving a conference victory, just might be the final death blow for the Stoops regime…

It fell apart soooo fast.

The incoming class looks good now, but we’re going to lose at least a handful. That’s inevitable when the team is losing and the coach is on the hot seat.

we have a pretty decent class coming in this year. we will have our whole offensive line back, Matt Scott, Kadeem Carey and Dan Buckner. Mcknight will be back with Hall and Flowers. Hopefully someone else and can step up. We have 8 home games. @ucla @utah and then two others. USC and ASU at home. I have been the biggest stoops homer since he came here my freshman year. I say give him one more year. If he cant do it next year. Than we can get rid of him
