    I think I would take Sumlin over Rick. There is at least a shot that Sumlin could be an 8 or 9 win guy like he was at A&M. And he is a better recruiter than the original "great" recruiter.

    People must have forgot how bad Rick was at UCLA

    RN will snag one or two good prospects from UW and or other program that Arizona shouldn't be able to recruit against. This/these guy/s will supplement his otherwise lazy, poorly evaluated recruiting classes and a few Dwags will freak out about what a tough guy he us to recruit against...until 3 years have passed and his roster is full of Dan Milstens, Dash Cruthchleys, and Clarence Simpsons.

    I'm scared.

    @Dash true?

    On their little message board they are all clamoring for Sumlin which is just sad and bizarre.

    Sumlin makes sense if you're a trash school like Arizona that needs to rely on sizzle and flash to compete. But shit, if that's not the move and you decide you're gonna go for a Pac-12 retread, why not just snag Mora? He sucks too, but he was markedly better than Neu at UCLA.

    I actually dont think Sumlin would be a terrible hire for them. He's not winning you a championship but nobody's doing that at Arizona. The thing Sumlin brings is serious recruiting prowess. Arizona is close enough to Texas that they could pull some big time kids out of there with the right coach. They'd be fast strategy kids who may not pan out without a disciplined culture and coaching staff, but at least you have a shot to hit on somebody.

    I kind of see Arizona like Wazzu, you're going to have to settle for a coach with some warts. Sumlin's warts aren't as bad as some at that level. I think he'd have them in the top half of the South more often than not, which isn't exciting but is better than what they'll probably end up.
