The Arizona Wildcats’ coaching search was borderline disastrous and completely frustrating.
Arizona had a solid coaching pool to grab from, with Kevin Sumlin and Les Miles as the two top picks, along with the idea of promoting Marcel Yates from within.
Sumlin was probably the hottest coach and biggest name on the market. Les Miles wasn’t too far behind either.
Miles’ accomplishments at LSU are incredible, but many felt like he was too old, and could not develop a stable offense or quarterback.
Yates might not have had full control of his defense under Rich Rodriguez, but still there wasn’t a whole lot that showed you he was ready to be a head coach, but the players vouching for him on Twitter would tell you otherwise.
