Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez announced on Saturday evening he would be remaining with the program. A day later, he was awarded his next coaching matchup: a date with New Mexico in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl.
It was a busy weekend for the Arizona football program, as Rodriguez attracted all of the attention Friday and Saturday by flirting with the head-coaching job at South Carolina.
Rodriguez traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina on Friday to interview with South Carolina officials, according to a report from Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports.
At 8 p.m. Saturday, Rodriguez reaffirmed his position at Arizona by tweeting, “Happy and honored to be an Arizona Wildcat!
