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.

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).
If I were him I'd take 1-2 years off and then go be a D-coordinator for awhile until the right opportunity came along. It may take some time, but he'll get another chance somewhere.
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.”
