In return for our(!) shoutout on today's pod, good overview of Arizona situation

Arizona is a third tier school. Slick Rick and Sumlin level coaches are the best they can do, or they can take their chances on the hot young coaches of the Sun Belt, MAC, WAC, and Mt. West and try to bribe them not to jump ship if they have success.

That dude is a really good coach. He'd be a fantastic hire for Arizona.Thebourbinator said: -

The one time Arizona was good it was because they had all the polys. -
Probably not a good idea to go with a coach whose strength is recruiting at a school nobody can recruit to. And even when Sumlin was landing top 10 classes annually at A&M he couldn't finish better than .500 in conference 5 straight years.dnc said:
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.FremontTroll said:On their little message board they are all clamoring for Sumlin which is just sad and bizarre.
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.
Arizona needs to identify a competitive edge and then do that thing very well. Sumlin doesn't offer anything unique. He will attempt to come in and recruit heads up against USC, UCLA, ASU, and everyone in Texas and fail miserably. -
You could be right. I'd definitely hire Niumatololo over Sumlin if he's a real option for them.FremontTroll said:

niumatololo hire would be chineresting, one positive, is that no passing means running clock so those 7pm kickoffs dont get over at 2am. one negative, hes gonna need more time to get his guys in there, implementing the triple option is gonna take time and you have no idea the mess dickrod left behind.
