Stoops fired
- Thread starter Kingdome
- Start date
So what next for Arizona?
The first question: How much is Arizona willing to pay? Stoops' $1.4 million annual salary sounds great for most of us, but is fairly middling among marquee coaches. And beyond Stoops' replacement, you have to pay a coaching staff. Salaries for assistant coaches have gone way up, well beyond what Stoops' staff was paid.
Top name you will hear: Boise State's Chris Petersen. Three words: Huge long shot.
Second name: Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen. Three words: Huge long shot.
Just because Byrne knows Petersen and Mullen doesn't mean either is eager to bolt to an uncertain situation.
Other names: Former Oregon coach Mike Bellotti, former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach and former All-American Ricky Hunley.
All three of those guys would raise enthusiastic eyebrows. Each has plenty to offer.

LOL. Thought they wanted to build a winning team. Not with RR.
Liking the Leach as HC. He always had exciting offences. Scored alot of points. The ole run and gun. Of course they dont transfer well to the nfl but they are fun to watch in college. (hence KLINGLER from Houston)
