Babers to Arizona OC/QB Coach

[Finwad32]

I was told that Curt is not crazy about the D1 coaching ranks. But money often changes people's perspective. He's a heck of a coach.

I’ll see Curt soon, I’ll let you guys know.

The four best candidates to join Brent Brennan's staff as Arizona Football offensive coordinator

With new Arizona Football head coach Brent Brennan getting a vast majority of the key coaching hires in the books, there's one glaring opening remaining: offens

Dino's in a bit of a predicament. He's an offensive coach whose downfall as a head coach was his offense.

Some University of Arizona fans are saying the OC role is Babers if he wants it.

I'm not sure I should feel sorry for them or laugh?

This is wild for me and my son haha

All I can say is that he wasn't that bad at the onset, but boy did he regress. He'd have one of the best QB WR pairs in the nation. Can he still screw that up?

I’m pulling for Dino here. Just because it didn’t work out at SU doesn’t mean the guy should never get a second chance. I’d love to see him get the job and just kill it.

Arizona should be a pre season top 25 team next year. Their top QB and WR came back. Would be a ton of pressure on Babers to meet expextations after this years performance.

Good for Dino. It gets him closer to home.

And there it is

Now, sources have told GOAZCATS.com that the Wildcats will be hiring former Syracuse head coach Dino Babers as Brennan's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

This will be the second stint in Tucson for Babers, who was at Arizona from the 1995 season to 2000 under Dick Tomey. Not only did he coach under the Wildcats' legend, but he played for Tomey at Hawaii from 1979 to 83 as a running back and defensive back.

is this good for our budget? presumably he has an offset clause? I know it's not huge but hey, 500k here or there is still money.

 

[cusefan88]

I'm honestly surprised but best of luck to him.

 

[CNYGuy]

He's got a chance to do really well there. Fafita and their wideout are really, really good.

 

[JRHEETER]

Good for Dino

Not sure I would have given him QBs but it’ll be interesting to see what he does

Truly glad he landed somewhere

 

[CanadianSU]

Good for Dino statements aside.


Y tho… what about the offense was p4 coordinator.

[SUforme]

Good luck with that.

Arizona get ready for 2 runs up the gut and a bomb down the sidelines on 3rd and 8

He’s a good guy. I’m happy that he’s landed somewhere.

I will just automatically like anything she says

A bomb that lands 20 feet out of bounds that Stretch Armstrong couldn’t catch

Honestly, very happy for him as well. Speaks volumes, certainly a high-quality program. He could have sat home and collected a check, obviously that was not him. He desires to make an impact on young peoples lives. A very good, kind guy. In my opinion a great coach, did a lot of growing from a scheme standpoint, with tremendous difficulty. Overestimated his ability to run his own scheme, Primarily caused by recruiting woes. Certainly not a Northeast guy who had to recruit in the Northeast to stay competitive, lots of misses. Most certainly I will miss him and I will certainly not throw stones...
