A lot of talent, but unfortunately the resources at Arizona aren't great. Until the athletic department steps up its facilities, RR could have some trouble.

With that said, I wish him the best of luck. If he has any assemblance of a defense there, he will do well. Having only to compete with USC in the PAC-12 South will give him a chance to make a BCS bowl in the future.

I'm really glad RR landed at a D1 job with a team I have no problem rooting for.  We will never face them outside of the Rose Bowl, and I've never had an interest in the Pac 12 before now.  I finally have a team to watch for in the late games.

Is he immediately taking over? Like, he's the coach this upcoming Saturday?

My hunch is no, but it allows Arizona to hit the ground running for recruiting purposes. He gets brought in before the end of the season, recruits know who their coach will be = better chance of class continuity.

What would he accomplish Saturday by standing on the sidelines clueless about the current offense/defense and coaching the team???

Well, I suppose that worked for Paterno.

I really did like him, not as a coach so much, but maybe as like a guy I would want my dad to be friends with.

Arizona is a great program for him. He'll have time to build a program there without the pressures that a place like UM will bring. Plus if he can crack the California and Texas recruiting scenes he can build Arizona into strong program. Great move U of A. His kids should enjoy it out there too.

good luck rich rod, good move by Arizona because Rod is still a great offensive mind.  hopefully for his sake he has a defense.

Arizona has still never played in the Rose Bowl, right? Here's hoping we're there as well the first time he takes them.

I wonder who his DC will be...

to go to the practice after the Illinois game last year. I went to the practice because I had a meeting with Coach Rod after it was over. We talked in his office for about two hours. He was an awesome guy that just wanted time to get the team ready. I believe he will do good out there. Best of luck to him out there.

none of the above. I met some people at lasts years Illinois game that knew him. I was in the military and recieved the purple heart. I presented the purple heart to him to give to the team for all the wounds they were taking in there battles.

Can not wait for Arizona vs. Oregon in a few years.  I live a few hours from Tucson, I'll definitely be stopping in next season.
