Arizona Wildcats: 2011 Exit Survey

Mike Stoops ran the show at Arizona for eight years. It took him five years before Arizona finished with a winning record (8-5 in 2008). 8-5 was the best record Stoops would post in his days in Tucson. This year was his final year and he went out at 4-8 which would mark his worst season since his first two. There is a reason that the college football podcasters The Solid Verbal coined...

Arizona Hires Rich Rodriguez: Good or Bad Move?

The Coaching Carousel is spinning violently and coaches are falling off every day. In addition to coaches becoming unemployed, this is the time of season where coaches are finding new jobs and some are re-gaining employment in the coaching ranks.

Wildcats positive about Rodriguez hire

TUCSON He wasn't smiling ear to ear, but would you blame him if he did? It appears Matt Scott may have been the second best winner in this week's announcement that Rich Rodriguez is the new coach at Arizona, with Rodriguez being No. 1. Scott seems like a hand-in-glove fit for Rodriguez's spread-option offense. Apparently, good things happen to those who wait. "...

Meanwhile, Arizona’s Athletic Director Greg Byrne is pretty tech savvy. New...
