Who did you think Rich Rodriguez was going to hire? Facebook chat room chatter had Rodriguez talking to Alabama Crimson Tide Outside Linebackers Coach Tosh Lupoi, but speculation was that Byrnes delved into his background and chose to keep looking.
Some Wildcats fans were pushing for Arizona Wildcats legends Chuck Cecil or Ricky Hunley and are still hoping there is a spot for one of them. Others thought that wasn’t the way to go, wanted some new blood.
Well, those fans got what they wanted. We guess that Rich Rod was tired of trying figuring out the Boise State defensive strategy during pre-season play because he hired their Defensive coach Marcel Yates.
