Arizona should hire Leach. Our borders could use more beef.

Bellotti I could possibly see, though I expect he would wait a bit to see whether UCLA might open up too. No way on Peterson.

The word is that Greg Byrne (AD) worked in the athletic department at Oregon for a year when Petersen was a position coach there. Sketchy at best, but some posters claim they are "best friends"

I heard a few weeks ago that Rich Rodriquez was very interested in the Arizona job if it opened up.

I think it's a terrible fit though.

On behalf of Oregon State I would like to apologize to the rest of the Pac-12. But I bet there are some happy officials in the league right now.

Yeah, goddamit - we needed Stoops to win just enough to keep his job. Neuheisel, Kiffin & Wulff too...

Reports are that Gary Pinkel of Missouri is not going anywhere. And if he does it will show that he's the worst football coach ever.

The only reason Petersen should be mentioned is because the long time BSU AD was fired this summer over the $10 in football and women's tennis violations, meaning there's a new variable. That said, he'd still wait for something better than Arizona.

Actually, Pinkel has already been offered the job at Alabama, LSU, Texas, New England and both pro New York teams. He is just weighing his options right now.

I heard that the Pac-10 schools are voting today on a plan to replace Arizona with Mizzou.

I hear the Yankees are also looking to have him replace Girardi, and Obama plans to ditch Biden and nom Pinkel as his running mate in 2012.

Arizona's football program has been a dumpster fire for the past 10 years. At this point, they should just hire one of the Gramatica brothers to coach and kick.

Little known fact: Arizona has missed as many PATs (13 of 17) as the entire Big Ten (208 of 212)

The three names being bantered about in local Arizona radio are:

Chris Peterson
Mike Bellotti
Larry Fedora (head coach at So Miss)

I doubt Peterson comes out, but I could see the other two. At this point, I'll take door #2 over Stoops. He just never could turn the corner with the team.

Arizona is certainly a bad football team right now, but compared them to the program that Stoops took over after Makovich. He actually accomplished quit a bit, I thought he had earned the full year at least.

Yeah, and they've had a tough schedule this year - one of the country's toughest so far, I believe. I know the Oregon State loss is bad, but losses to #6, #9, and #10, plus a 7-point loss to USC?

The problem is the team has the best QB-WR combo (Foles-Criner) the program has ever had and couldn't keep up with the offenses they faced. Plus, stoops is supposedly a defensive genius and the defense ranked 115/120 schools this season.

Just look at the last game: Oregon State was 0-4 (lost to Sacramento St) and held Arizona to 120 total yards and a 26-6 first half score. On the flip side, OSU put up 37 points by the end of the game and torched Arizona's D. They are a bad team this year and the tough schedule just made it even worse. Plus, they were 2-11 in their last 13 games against ranked teams and made just 3 bowl games under Stoops - where they went 1-3, outscored 90-41. I don't see much hope with this program under Stoops - and he had 8 years to get things on track.

Another all offense, no defense coach. Arizona used to be a tough defensive team, I would think the fan base wouldn't mind seeing just the teensiest bit of defense in the new coach's philosophy, no?

Their D left when brother went to FSU. Unfortunately, he seems to have lost it somewhere along I-10.

Stoops was a defensive coordinator and supposedly a genius on that side of the ball. All he did was slowly degrade our offense while keeping the D at average.

In the Pac-12, I'd rather have an offensive-minded head coach and then go out and get a good DC. If this were the SEC, I might have a different strategy.

replacing Stoops with the D-Cord was a dumb move too. uofa hasn't played defense all year why make the D-Cord the new head coach? At least show him the door too and make the O-Cord the new man for the last 6 games...they've shown up in the games.

I wouldn't say there was or would have been a revolt at all. The players played their hearts out IMO. They just aren't that good and adjustments aren't made in the game. Recruiting has been bad for uofa for a couple of years and the injuries make the bad recruiting stick out more. Yes he was there from the begining with stoops. The Fr RB Carrey is a stud and should be starting and getting the majority of the carries each game. Antolin is a bust and always has been along with a fumble prone back. That's the 1st change I make as their coach.

The season is a wash, so it doesn't really matter so much that the defense has sucked under Kish. All you're hoping for as the AD is a guy that the locker room (and rest of the coaching staff for that matter) won't revolt against and someone organized enough to handle the job.

Yeah, the Wildcats are just going to "suck for Luck" and get a better draft pick. That's the reasoning for Kish.

Wait, there's no draft in college? Well, I got nothing then...

It is probably way too soon for him to be the HC of a BCS school, but Ron English quietly has taken Eastern Michigan from the worst team in the NCAA to 5-3 and a contender for the MAC Title in just three seasons. He has ties to Arizona and is a marvelous recruiter, especially with his ins in California. Arizona could be an intriguing fit though he is very much a dark horse candidate and like I said, probably not ready.

Petersen is #1, but that is reaching right now. I don't have a problem with Leach or RichRod. June Jones would be solid as well

Passed that? I'm not sure

Ba ha ha ha. With the budget crisis, no way UCLA will pay big money.

We aren't going to pay someone like Lane Kiffin, four million dollars, to coach our team.

Jeff Tedford made 2.8 million a few years ago. With the budget as bad as it has been, it won't stop an athletic department, who is going to make 20 million in TV revenue, from paying someone 2.5 million-ish to a coach.

UCLA donors are threatening to withhold money from the Pauley renovation. What choice will the AD have? Especially when people like Casey Wasserman are involved?

He'll probably follow in Hoke's footsetps and get a job in CUSA/MWC etc. next.

I'm sure there's a better, younger candidate out there. But it's hard to think that Bellotti wouldn't be a really good backup plan. He's got a limited coaching span left - have to think at age 60 that he'd be no more than a 5-7 year solution - but it's hard not to be impressed by what he did in establishing Oregon as a consistently good football program.
