What Arizona is looking for in its next head football coach

The Arizona Wildcats’ head coaching search is moving at a swift but diligent pace, trying to find the right person to resurrect a program that is riding a 12-game losing streak and hasn’t had a winning season since 2017.

UA athletic director Dave Heeke declined to offer a timetable for when a hire will be made but said the Wildcats have had ongoing conversations with “numerous” individuals since Sunday. He added that Arizona has “not offered a job to anyone and we’ve had no final discussions with anyone.”

Despite the program’s recent struggles, Heeke believes it is an attractive job for many reasons.
