As the clock ticked to 0:00 on another bowl less season on the Wildcats, it didn’t take long for Arizona Athletic Director Dave Heeke to back Arizona Football coach, Kevin Sumlin.
Following the Wildcats’ third-straight loss to rival ASU (second under Sumlin), Heeke told the media “Coach (Kevin) Sumlin is our head football coach”, officially announcing his return for 2020.
There’s no doubt that the honeymoon didn’t last long in Tucson. After inheriting what many felt would be a competitive group, back-to-back losing have certainly changed the perceptions of the program and the direction it is heading.
