Sumlin to Arizona

[The Derski]

Reports: Arizona set to hire ex-Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin to lead Wildcats

Good hire here for Arizona, best of luck to him.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Big if true

 

[GoldRusher]

Bout as good a hire as they could have wanted at this point. 6-8 wins on the regular

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Bad timing on AZ's part to make a change but this is about as good as they are gonna do. So 10 year/$100 million right?

 

[outofyourmind]

Maybe he can live up to the glory days of Dick Tomey and Desert Swarm.

Pretty good hire. Good recruiter, coaching is questionable able times though.

 

[OregonDucks]

The PAC will eat him up.

The PAC will eat him up.

idk..... he did pretty good at Houston in a tougher conference

I was ready to LMFAO at Pac-12 football again if Arizona hired Ken Niumatalolo who wears magic underwear like Bronco Mendenhall.

Now I'm still LMFAO because Sumlin will take a better job in a heartbeat if/when it presents itself. And if it doesn't present itself, that only means he's failing at Arizona. So basically, either way, Zona is still screwed.

Yep. Conference was brutally tough last year for sure.

Good hire but needs a quality D.C.

Sumlin is a great coach and an even better person. Not the right coach for us but he will do well in the PAC 12.

I hear he is taking “No End Zone” Mazzone with him.

On the contrary...the Pac12 is made for him and he's getting a QB made for him.

He could cause some serious commotion next year in that league.

“Great”?.... Meehhhh, that’s an awful flattering word for him, I don’t think so BUT I agree he will fit well in the PAC and at Arizona more so than the SEC and A&M.

Gonna be interesting to see Tate in his offense right off the bat.

 

[FORKWDEVIL]

interesting. Looks like Tate hired him.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

U of A with a better hire than the Sun Devils

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

IMO this is a damn good hire for a school like that. A&M unnecessarily fired Sumlin IMO and hired a coach with an almost identical record in the same span. They definitely did better than Arizona State did.
