Question From an Outsider

[the real dill]

Now that GOAZCATS has narrowed down the coaching candidates to Steve Spurrier, Butch Davis, and Steve Mariucci, I was just wondering if someone could set up a poll showing who Cats fans want out of this three headed monster. Also, was wondering when the Arizona Football Head Coaching Position became the premier job in Division 1 football. I mean, they have made leaps in bounds making this job more appealing than Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio St., Miami...........

You have to remember, Dill, when Lute retires, it was agreed that Lutes replacement would be:

* Phil Jackson
* John Wooden
* Pat Riley

[ByJoveByJingle]

so you just decided to change the playing field?

[Josh Gershon]

Maybe we'll pick up Mack Brown when he gets fired?

[Chris Bonney]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO JG, I want a coach that can actually a game that is meaningful!

[South_Beach_Cat]

Dill, you've clearly figured out that the Arizona football head coach, in terms of level of prestige, is somewhere between St. Mary's Jr. High School girls flag football assistant coach, and batboy for Tucson school for the blind.

[Chris Bonney]

Yeah I thought that the Arizona Football coaching job was reserved for the Silver Medalist in the Arizona Special Olympics? With the winner obviously getting the Governorship.

No offense Mr. Napolitano.

by jove,

which stoops argument are you referring to? the guy who said zona could lure Bob away?

[ByJoveByJingle]

when you said that Mike Stoops would never be interested in sh*tty program like Arizona.

[the real dill]

also, mack brown has won more games in his career than Arizona over the last 40 years. He must be terrible

[Chris Bonney]

How many wins does Mack Brown have?

Tomey won 95 games here just in his 14 years. Throw on Smith's 48, Mackovic's 10 and we are over 150 wins. Brown aint there yet bud.

[Chris Bonney]

Brown has 138 wins in 20 years of coaching so far. Not one big one to speak of too.

That is a similar pace that Tomey was on man. What is your deal dill? Stop talking out your dumb Tejas Arse man.

by jove,

I never called Arizona a ****ty program. I just said no way on Mike Stoops. I think Zona will get a good coach and when people post realistic candidates like Mike Price or O'Leary I don't laugh at them. Im making fun of the posters, not the University. Some guy posted on a UT site that they UT should get Marvin Lewis. I told them the same thing i'm telling you. are you out of you f-ing mind. no chance. Mark my words people ARIZONA WILL NOT GET MIKE STOOPS. VEGAS ODDS ON THIS WOULD BE 1,000 TO 1.

RCF,

I was overstating for effect. Brown has a preety damn good record and no, Arizona could not get him either. Not b/c Arizona is a bad school, b/c right now he makes Mack's and Olsen's salaries all put together.

[Chris Bonney]

We could probably actually afford him, but why, even if he wanted to come, would we want to hire Dick Tomey again? When you break it down that is what he is, a newer version of Dick Tomey that does not let most of the talent in Texas get away. Other than that...it is the worlds most 1.overrated million y'all will ever spend each year.

[ByJoveByJingle]

I'm not saying we will or won't get Mike Stoops. I just don't understand how you can dismiss the possibility as being outlandish. Particularly when I have read from multiple sources who cover college football for a living on the national level that Mike Stoops is a potential candidate. Clearly not everyone sees this as an absurdity.

Equally clearly, the notion of the UofA getting two coaches who are at pinnacle jobs and are happily employed is just silly and not even worth responding to.
