Yesterday, FootballScoop teased that an unnamed “former coach who is currently a TV/media presence” was a candidate for the Arizona Wildcats job. And so we joked about who it could possibly be: Lou Holtz! Lee Corso! Mack Brown! Rick Neuheisel!
Unfortunately, this isn’t a joke anymore. FootballScoop is now reporting that Rick Neuheisel, who it says it “alluded to” in its prior report, is “very much in play” at Arizona.
Neuheisel is currently an analyst for CBS Sports. He has not coached since he was fired at UCLA in 2011 nearly seven years ago.
