I personally wouldn't be surprised if we lost tonight if Erickson was gone, but who knows.
As far as being a 2nd tier school, I agree with that, UofA is as well. The top tier ones are the national powerhouses every year, Ohio St., Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, Oklahoma, USC, Stanford, etc. They pay their coaches Top Tier money thus they get the top tier coaches.
I doubt we would go with Rodriguez due to his baggage, but you never know. I think Erickson will stay for one more year as next year is truly his team. The last of Koetter's players are gone after this year.
I'm with you on keeping Stoops, he has been terrible down there in Tucson and got lucky to begin this year. His head was on the chopping block and somehow he saved it. After the loss tonight, fans will start screaming for his head again.
Should be a good game tonight, at least I hope it is.
GO ASU!!!
