Don't hold your breath. Some story will break in the future, perhaps even months from now, and then Chief will come back afterwards, crowing about how that was what he was talking about.PHXCATS wrote:chiefzona wrote:azcat49 wrote:Notice Chief posts that ominous post and since then he has been silent.

What does this have to do with the abandon ship siren? Are you saying Heeke has reached out to another coach to lead us in preparation of RR being fired at the end of the year? Another addition to the staff?chiefzona wrote:azcat49 wrote:why not spill the info? When will it come out?
When/if he officially accepts the job.

You are as cryptic as bigfoot
I think almost everyone in here acknowledges that possibility. If RR starts 1-3 and continues to slide, I expect he'll be fired midseason and so does everyone else. So why do we think Chief knows something we don't? I think he's just being Chief and trying to pull things out of the air. I just don't see Heeke or anyone else that is important in this program discussing future covert plans with Chief. He's pulled this sort of nonsense before and then backs off with some lame excuse about why and I think a lot of people on this site are tire of him. Half the time I find him annoying and half the time he's entertaining but I never take him to seriously.UALoco wrote:I could be wrong but reading the tea leaves here, it sounds like Heeke has the green light from the powers that be to make a move re: RR and is just waiting for the right opportunity to give RR his pink slip. My guess that if we start 1-5 in the first 5 games or O-4 in P12 play(which is a distinct possibility), Dave pulls the trigger. I don't know why folks get their chonies(Spanish slang for undies) in a bind over Chief's posts. Take them for what they are worth, message board fodder.
Either way, I will be cheering the team on from the stands, wishing for the best, and bracing for the worst. Some folks seem to be hoping for the worst to get a restart but that approach is too cynical and dysfunctional for my taste. I can't assume the next coach can do much better that RR. It is just as tough to attact great football coaches as it is to attract great football players in Tucson and Arizona in general.

RR must go 7 and 5 or 6 and 6 potentially with a shit kicking of ASSU to keep his job.
Plain and simple except for determining how big the ass kicking must be if they are 6 and 6 this year.
The size of your ego is going to be your downfall chief. Our AD doesn't have to do a god damn thing to RR. The only thing he going to look for is to whether or not RR and UA football program can bounce back from a 3-9 deficit. All he looking for is Improvement. He not looking for a Magic win # to satisfied certain individual. If you don't want to see any improvement chief and expect Heeke to make the easy decision possible. You haven't realize that all RR has to do is do better than 3-9? He can go 5-7 & still keep his job by 18, He can go 6-6, +1 & still keep his job by 18. If he goes 7-5, he exceeding expectation of doing better than 3-9 & still keep his job.chiefzona wrote:PHXCATS wrote:If U of A is ever three games below 500 RR gets fired mid season.

It all depends on the size of Heeke's balls and purse.
I don't agree with Chief much if ever, but he's nailed the situation to a tee with this post, although Heeke's purse will greatly impact his balls.chiefzona wrote:PHXCATS wrote:If U of A is ever three games below 500 RR gets fired mid season.

Sorry to be confrontational glad cat but this is one thing wrong with UA Football fans. It is always compared to bball. They are apples and effin' oranges, two completely different programs on completely different levels, and success in one has absolutely nothing to do with the other(see Duke and UNC Football). We will never get the "Sean Miller" of College Football coaches to come to Tucson. Even though our basketball program was having a tough time when GB got Sean to sign on, it still had a National Championship, a pedigree, a great forum to play, a packed house every night, a strong alumni base in the professional ranks, a national brand name (ZONA), and air conditioning to practice in. The Arizona Football program has absolutely none of that. Crappy stadium, crappy fan base, hot weather, no coastline, no Championships, relatively few pros, and absolutely ZERO sizzle. I don't care what anyone says but any new Football HC is starting from square one so we aren't ever going to attract a "Sean Miller" type. That is why I can give RR some slack. He got Gameday to show up, a P12 Championship, and a Fiesta Bowl, yes it was a fluke, yes we lost all of those games, but at least it happened. He also still gets national coverage, some of it not so great but bad press is better than no press at all, right? Anyways, I know I am a 40 something fan boy but I am willing to give RR the benefit of the doubt for one more year. If he goes 1-5 to start or 0-4 in P12 play, he needs to go. If he does go, we won't get a brand name coach under sixty, let's hope there is an up and comer willing to give AZ Football a chance, but if our fans won't, why should they?

I would assume to some extent that every program in the country from small to big have their dark side issues. One of the most glaring issues holding this current program back aside from the poor level of talent in general is the significant number of players that leave the program in the first two years.
I don't have hard data or numbers but its seems pretty high. The feedback loop of lower level talent and consistently high departure rates of young players is a huge problem in this current RR era. Something just doesn't smell right. Who knows.
Personally I think RR has had enough time at the helm. Most all here are looking for another crappy season at 5-7 or 6-6 to save his bacon. I'm not remotely interested in any of that nonsense. RR would need a blow out season next year for me to want to see him back, and I don't think that is coming. But make no mistake I want the team to win, in-spite of the lingering uneasiness that seems to be lurking in the background. I just think new blood is in order.
Essentially this program needs a young, new, hungry, hard working clone of Sean Miller. Some one who eats, sleeps and dreams every minute about football. In Tucson it will take nothing less than that type of effort.
I don't think that that knight in shining armor is around the corner but make no mistake keeping Miller at Arizona for the long haul and hiring a new highly talented football coach is Dave Heeke's greatest challenges that lay ahead. Of course facility funding and massive upgrades are a very close second to the super high talent that must be at the helm to run the football program. Sean Miller is you're blue print for turning the football ship around.
But, sadly there aren't many Sean Millers out there to be had in the football realm.

I believe you're mistaken. He still has a few years remaining on his contract I believe. Outside of last year or two he's received a one year extension on his contract annually.tgrumpy2 wrote:ChooChooCat wrote:I don't agree with Chief much if ever, but he's nailed the situation to a tee with this post, although Heeke's purse will greatly impact his balls.chiefzona wrote:PHXCATS wrote:If U of A is ever three games below 500 RR gets fired mid season.

I don't think it will take big balls or a big purse to fire RR. This is the last year of his contract if I'm not mistaken. Whether you fire him in mid season or end of season they'll still pay him. If I know this school, they'll bring in someone that will work for less.
Merkin wrote:If he gets fired today I think it was cost the UA AD $8M. Need a big purse for sure.
Thanks PHX. Personally, I love the stadium but it has sentimental value to me and provides a great, intimate experience for the fan. For naive, immature recruits and in terms of national exposure, it just can't compete with USC's Coliseum, the Rose Bowl, or Autzen Stadium(even though the fan experience for the LA stadiums blows chunks).PHXCATS wrote:Loco you are 100 percent correct with everything except for the stadium. I think it is awesome.
It is tough to recruit to Arizona for football for a million reasons and our fans do us no help. Until the fans get better, because the AD needs that money to get an indoor practice facility which most other schools have had for years, we will always be behind. Maybe RR has tailed off but I feel like many fans think it is a lot easier to recruit here than it is.

The last contract extension I can find for RR was in 2014 and extended his contract out to May31, 2019. Was there another one because I cannot find it. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/c ... e/9689725/" target="_blank
We would have to pay him for an extra year and a half or so. That's quite a bit of money but not 8millon.

I could have been on board with RR being fired after last year. He's back, and how I see it is that things need to reverse course fast. The issue isn't so much a bad record as the regression of the program under his leadership. After the Fiesta Bowl season, we've been worse and less talented every year.ASUHATER! wrote:By haters you mean every sane person right?

Chief, Like I said all he has to do is do better 3-9.

No. He has to a lot better than 3-9. A lot of the media and some fans claimed injuries were the problem last year....not poor recruiting and poor player development. If that's the case then you should be saying that the Cats are winning 8, 9, or 10 games this season.
No chance unless you have no money at all. If you don't make a bowl game RR has to go. Our fans are already subpar so allowing more losing would only make it worse for the next coach.cordera89 wrote:Chief, Like I said all he has to do is do better 3-9.
