1. Is Rich Rodriquez here to stay?

With all heard the rumors of Rich Rod packing shop and heading out of Tucson there seems to be no possibility of that happening anytime soon. On the first day of 2015 recruits to sign a National Letter of Intent, Arizona brought in 25 new athletes.

“Of the new Wildcats, there are 10 offensive players, 12 defensive players, three athletes and nine that enrolled this semester,” according to an Arizona Daily Wildcat Report.

In hopes of improving both our offensive and defense and get faster on both sides of ball. I see no reason why he would pack up and leave for a bigger program since he has all the tools in place here at Arizona. ESPN ranked the Arizona 2015 class 39th, 41st by Scout and Rivals and 42nd by 247 Sports. With this depth Rodriquez expects a lot of guys to be ready to play.

“To play 12 straight with no open date at this level? You better have a lot of guys that are ready to play.” Rodriquez said, according to an Arizona Daily Wildcat Report.

In his third season Rich Rod made history posting the second 10+ plus win regular season in school history.  It would be a shame with the talent he has brought into town along with the coaching staff to see him leave on such a short notice. He went up to Eugene and took out the No. 2 team in the nation as well as defeated our crosstown rivals in ASU to win the Pac-12 South crown. Yes, he did fall short in the Pac-12 championship game and BCS Fiesta Bowl. The talent is here to stay and so is Rich Rodriquez.
