Tuscon has always been nice, yet they have always had a pretty bad football team. The school doesn't seem committed to winning and I don't see that changing with this move. But like you said, it will be interesting. It is crazy that a loss to OSU will cost a man his job.

It will be announced at Autzen press conference tomorrow afternoon!
If UA ever got behind their football program 100% watch out... with the weather, surroundings and pretty girls I dont see how they wouldnt start contending for P12 South titles every year... same with ASU actually...

The guy has been under a lot of stress the past couple years, both personal (divorce) and professional (losing both coordinators in the same season).

I honestly wish him well.
Agree with this 100 %.
Coach Chip Kelly on Monday’s firing of Arizona coach Mike Stoops: “It’s sad. I think Mike’s a great guy. I really got to know him well on our media tour the last two summers. It’s an unfortunate part of our business.”
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”
