I think the guy that started this rumour could get a job with the Hawaii Emergency Management group. False alarm! Kevin Sumlin to be Arizona's next coach.

Actually the job was his until the U of A president ordered the job offer rescinded after the U of A QB tweeted that he did not come to Arizona to run the triple option .

Probably explains to a great degree our trouble getting QB's to commit here !!!!

If that's the reason they went with Sumlin over the Navy coach, then the inmates truly are running the asylum.
