Rich Rodriguez fired

Reasons why Az should hire Butch Jones. He will provide you with Slogans:
1.Team 118(playing football since1899).
2. How about the “A Team”.
3. Since the unofficial song is Bear down, Butch will incorporate it into his 3rd down chant. It will be called “Bear down for what”.
4. Brick by Brick
5. 5 Star hearts
6. Champions of Life

Yet another university that won't give Joey Bongwater a sniff.

One name to keep an eye on as possible replacement at Arizona: Butch Jones. Arizona AD Dave Heeke hired him at Central Michigan, where Jones coached from 2007-09.

Arizona needs more complimentary football.

Butch and Charlie could build an adobe mailbox together.

Similar to Florida situation. A mediocre coach gave administration a reason to fire win reduced buyout.

That's exactly how I read it. couldn't believe it when I saw how much he's making.

So with your biggest rival just hiring Herm Edwards over Sumli...even Jones would be considered a better hire then Herm. Apparently ASU wanted to take care of his former client, Herm. Which is a better job, ASU or Arizona?

Heard this on the radio this morning. They also mentioned Sumlin..

 

[05_never_again]

I wonder how ole Butch would do at Arizona. There are better candidates for them, namely Sumlin and Joey Saltwater, but if their current AD was Butch's boss at Central Michigan I can see him making the safe hire.

Arizona isn't a "safe hire" kind of place though. They are never competing on a level playing field with the rest of the schools in their conference and have to do something different in order to compete.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Well Butch did try to run the Rich Rod offense and used to work for him. Maybe he'd have more success in that prissy conference with RR's roster. I'd tune in for the Leach versus Lyle affairs.

 

[TrueOrange]

Apparently an administrative assistant threatened to sue. So they decided to go ahead and fire him. The world has lost its mind.

yes this crap is out of hand - either these people report it when it happens or out of luck

And that investigation found no wrongdoing on Rodriguez’s part.

It sounds like Arizona found something else and just didn’t want to say what it was:

The investigation, which concluded Dec. 28, determined the allegation could not be substantiated, but, according to Heeke and Robbins, "Arizona Athletics did become aware of information, both before and during the investigation, which caused it to be concerned with the direction and climate of the football program.

"As a result, we have been reviewing the finding and deliberating our course of action. While this is a difficult decision, it is the right decision. And it is a decision that lives up to the core values of the University of Arizona."

Yep Saw today he admitted to an affair --- I think that voids the buyout

Nope. Still gets $6 million.

So its not like the Petrino incident ?

 

[Vol8188]

Perfect spot for Joey Freshwater. Zona is full of Southern California girls.

Just signed an extension. He may actually be at FAU for a long time

 

[VFLBerg]

So its not like the Petrino incident ?

He wasn't fired for cause and the letter that the university put out said they would honor the terms of the separation agreement.

About like asking what's better between Krystal and White Castle

 

[Roustabout]

Watch out, there are going to be a ton of fake accusations from people with no scrupples who are looking to cash in on the harassment thing.
