And that means what Mark? Nice job deflecting ASU'S pathetic attempt to hire a competent coach. No wonder you have to scrape the bottom of the coaching barrell. Hahaha...

That would be a really good hire...............................for U of A :D :D :D

Overall record, 13 seasons with South Florida 94-57 (roughly 7-4 per year)
Last 7 year, in Conference USA, then Big East, 51-35 overal, only 25-26 in conference.

Could any coach have teams less disciplined than DE?  Maybe Jim Leavitt http://www.jimleavittmustgo.com/home.html

This is the best that sorry group at ASSU could come up with after completely bungling the whole search?  It would be really sad .................. if I weren't laughing so hard :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Mike, I'm sure you're a better football mind than Jon Gruden, but here's what he had to say.

Mark,  yes, I know Gruden recommended him for the job.  That's what friends do, though, isn't it?  I think his record, both wins and losses (in a mediocre conference), as well as having a highly undisciplined, much penalized team, speaks for itself.  Of course, I am sure all of you delusional ASSU fans will tell yourselve how lucky you are to have gotten your 7th or 8th choice as head coach.

Mark, sorry, but it iwll be impossible to put a really positive spin on this one.  Going from DE to Leavitt is no an improvement, no matter how much you try to put a happy face on it.

Nice job ASSU...Leavitt???? Thats still funny. One of the main DE problems was being undisciplined..and this is who you look to hire? We know that if ASSU hired Pee Wee Herman that Mark would see it as a win. Oh, by the way he is stil out there if you wanna make a phone call...Again,  going for the coach nobody wants. Thats thinking outside the box. Give that AD a raise!

Now the talk is about Kyle Whittingham http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Whittingham, although I'm not sure why he would leave Utah to coach at ASU.  Plus, Utah didn't have a stellar record in their first season in the PAC-12

Maybe they offered Leavitt, then withdrew the offer? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I agree that leaving one team in the conference to go to another seems strange. Kinda like deciding to date your girlfriend's sister. :-\

I don't know who the next candidate will be. Your guess is as good as mine. It's too bad that the speculation got so out of control. That just means people are interested. I half-jokingly mentioned Danny White a while back. I genuinely believe that he might be one of the few candidates who would get broad approval among the alumni. Plus you gotta love someone who refuses to stay overnight in Tucson to this very day. >:D

At this point, they ought to just promote from within.  This will go down in college football textbooks as a chapter on "how not to conduct a head coach search"

It has been speculation run rampant. That said, no one has been offered the job and turned it down. But it appears that being overly deliberate has allowed blue chip candidates to be scooped up.

But Mazzone is popular and, hey, Todd Haley- the Cardinal's old offensive coordinator is now available. ;) ;D

I assume that will all this yukking at the ASU coach selection foibles means that you Wildcat fans are guaranteeing that you'll place ahead of ASU in the PAC-12 standings next year, right? 8) ;D

Hey Mark,

I wouldn't guarantee anything in the first year of having a new head coach and a completely new offensive scheme.  That, plus ASSU right now has better talent than UA.  That is just a fact.  DE got the talent, but his teams were so undisciplined that they ended up underperforming by a pretty good margin and folding in the clutch.  Depending on who they end up getting as a HC, they could be pretty decent next year.
