Babers to Arizona OC/QB Coach

[David332]

I wonder if his HC will allow him to speak to the media?

 

[CuseTroop]

This could well be. Fat bald guys are probably undervalued by judgmental ADs and selection committees.

He has had a few stints as a HC and it looks to me as though he has done well at all of them, though the last couple of years at Ball State were kind of alarming.

I wish him well at UB.

I bet ya 3 beers that Ball State extended his contract after the 2013 season and he got a fat bonus. Learned about strippers. Hard to focus on football when you're thinking about strippers. Doubt there's any good looking strippers in Buffalo, he might be fine

Baber's won't have the luxury of sitting back and letting others do the leg work recruiting .... if he doesn't get that recruiting fire back he might not be there too long ......

Don't be surprised if they have a good year, and he parlays that into another job as the head guy somewhere out west

I mean they should be top 15, top 20 at worst. They got both their star QB and WR to return when many thought they’d transfer. He’s going to have more to work with than probably anything he ever had here. He certainly isn't walking into a job withouy sky high expectations.

Did Dino sign a Non-compete Clause?

Will Zona be competitive in the Big 8 Big 12 Big 16?

Should be picked at the very top.

Plus a much easier schedule with no Oregon, Washington or USC.

How do you not call a timeout there ?! Oh wait. Wrong thread. Congrats Dino. He likes sunshine.

He used them all on the 4th and 1 from the 35.
