Good spot for him. Glad he landed on his feet but I and many others called it a bad fit from the jump. Never was a good recruiter.

Glad he had a hand in landing Francis though.

3 year deal was up and never renewed as of January 1.

The guys still under contract are still out recruiting but may still leave.

Great scoop by you.

Left on his own?

Or nudged out the door?

Alma mater or not, UA's football future is a whole lot bleaker than ours next year and for the foreseeable future

So will we have 2 DL coaches going forward?

Need someone on the staff with Poly connections

Fat Joe always been a better recruiter than coach/developer.

With our HFC, we need the opposite

No we dont

We better get another Samoan on staff. Growing up around few Samoans and how they interact with family, friends, and even acquaintances, I think it matters when recruiting Polynesian kids.

Was surprised it took this long to happen. Think he preferred NFL but didn’t get a lot of interest so he went ahead and took Arizona.

No! We need coaches on the staff who can teach and develop!

Not like they recruiting a bunch of Polynesian kids. Certainly not enough to waste a spot on

Happy for Salave'a. Am a fan. From what I saw, kids got better under him. Moten only got stronger. The transfer DTs performed better as the season went on. Scott started to show cause at the end of the season and in the bowl. The guys who transferred to SMU all performed well.

Unless someone tells me Joe was the reason for all the stunting even after it stopped working, I am giong to believe the problems with line penetration were more Guidry and possibly JT related than Joe related.

Regardless, whoever is the new DC needs to bring his own guys in. So win/win assuming we don't lose the Poly pipe.

Clint Hurtt come on down!

Good luck big Joe!

You don't need a bunch of Poly kids but you need to crack the door open with the high profile ones. It doesn't have to be Joe, but having a guy like Joe does that. You need a Director of Poly Recruiting.
