Athletic director Greg Byrne said he will make a final decision on a permanent replacement a few weeks after this season ends.

Kish named interim, Byrne patient in search

By Alex Williams DAILY WILDCAT

Mike Stoops has been fired as the UA’s head football coach. Defensive coordinator Tim Kish will serve as the interim coach for the remainder of the season, athletic director Greg Byrne announced Monday.

“Coach Stoops did a lot of great things for this program,” Byrne said. “He took over a challenging situation and made it better. (But) this season had gotten to the point that I was very concerned about the long-term impact of our decision and where the program was going.”

Byrne said the decision to fire Stoops was made in the last week, and the former coach was told about the decision late Monday after Byrne asked him to return to Tucson from a recruiting trip.

Players were told about the decision late Monday afternoon.

Stoops went 41-50 in seven and a half seasons at Arizona, including a 27-38 record in conference play.

Arizona’s last win over a Football Bowl Subdivision team came on Oct. 30, 2010, at UCLA, and the Wildcats have lost 10 straight games against FBS teams since.

Byrne said he hopes the coaching change will help salvage a 2011 season that’s off to a 1-5 start, in which the Wildcats have trailed by double digits in each of their losses.

“I felt that needed to be addressed in the short term for our 22 seniors,” Byrne said. “We believe they can play in a bowl game this season, and we want to give them every opportunity to do that.”

Byrne said Stoops’ contract buyout will cost about $1.4 million.

“Since I’ve been here, we’ve been evaluating the football program as a whole,” Byrne said. “The last 11 games

have been a rough road. We very much have tried to support coach Stoops.”

Byrne said the coaching search will begin immediately and that he hopes a new coach will be in place “a couple weeks” after the regular season ends, but he didn’t rule out making a hire during the season. Byrne also said Kish knows that he’s the interim coach for the time being, but didn’t rule out retaining him past this season.

According to Byrne, the biggest advantage of making a coaching change mid-season is that it changes the mentality of the team.

“We felt we needed a fresh start at this season,” Byrne said. “We wanted (the players) to have fun playing football and we wanted the coaches to have fun coaching. These are games we feel we can go out and compete in.”

UA President Eugene Sander said the school could not delay a decision on Stoops’ future.

“This decision was absolutely necessary at this time,” Sander said. “Hopefully this will get beyond the situation where we’re continually speculating on the future of coach Stoops.”

Sander said Arizona Board of Regents Chairman Fred DuVal fully agrees with the decision.

Stoops led Arizona to three consecutive bowl games for just the second time in school history.

“I am very proud of the Wildcat football program and the many accomplishments we have enjoyed,” Stoops said in a statement. “I wish the entire Wildcat football program the best of luck going forward, and I thank the University of Arizona for the opportunity to be a part of the successes we have achieved over the past eight seasons.”

• The 6-6 record marks the first nonlosing season for the Wildcats since 1998.

ike Stoops did exactly what he was supposed to do.

He lifted Arizona football out of the gutter and turned it into a legitimate program, bringing the Wildcats from a two-win team in 2003 to three consecutive bowl games for only the second time in program history.

He made Arizona football relevant again, which seemed impossible nearly a decade ago.

“Coach Stoops did what he was hired to do,” said former defensive end Ricky Elmore, who was surprised to hear of the firing. “He came in and turned the program into a winning program again.”

Series of talks, films and events set for Coming Out Week

By Kyle Mittan DAILY WILDCAT

LGBTQ Affairs has teamed up with Greek Life to promote Coming Out Week 2011, which began on Saturday and will run until this Sunday.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning Affairs kicked off Coming Out Week 2011 by marching in the Tucson Pride Parade on Saturday evening.

As a part of LGBT History Month, which happens during October, Coming Out Week 2011 will feature several events involving support for members and allies of the LGBTQ campus community.

This year’s Coming Out Week is also receiving the largest amount of Greek Life support in the university’s history. On Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m., the Delta Lambda Phi fraternity will host Allies of Delphi: Greek Safe Zone Training.

CLUB SPOTLIGHT

The event is a workshop that will discuss development strategies for allies of the LGBTQ community. It is being sponsored by Delta Delta Delta sorority, and will be held at the sorority’s house.

The United Sorority and Fraternity Council and LGBTQ Affairs are cosponsoring. So far, 70 people have registered for the workshop.

Coming Out Week is a vital aspect of UA culture, said LGBTQ Affairs Program Director Jennifer Hoefle.

“Coming Out Week is a place to support the training of LGBTQ allies,” Hoefle said. “It also gives everyone a chance to appreciate their fellow students here on campus.”

The events being held throughout Coming Out Week 2011 range from violence prevention discussions to bingo and karaoke, many of which are open to anyone interested in participating.

The Delta Delta Sigma Pre-Dental Club is attempting to bring a smile to Tucson this semester with more elementary school checkups and community events.

Started six years ago by a group of UA students interested in preparing for dental school, the club is part of the Delta Delta Sigma Pre-Dental Honor Society and is open to any student interested in dentistry.

“It’s been an amazing experience watching this club grow because they started out very small and I remember we could meet in a tiny room or seating area,” said facility adviser Stephanie Rollins. “At the banquet we held at the end of the year we had about 80 members.”

The next Pre-Dental Club meeting will be today at 6 p.m. in the Agave Room of the Student Union Memorial Center. The club meets every other week on Tuesdays at this time. Two weeks ago the club’s first meeting of the semester saw more than 40 interested students attend the information session, according to Julius Hindy, a psychology senior and president of the Pre-Dental Club.

“We had a lot of freshmen attend this year’s first meeting and I think it went really well,” Hindy said. “I feel

If you go Meetings every other Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the Agave Room of the Student Union Memorial Center

anyone who had a little spark of interest was there. Each meeting we usually try to bring a dental related person from the community or specialist to get a sense of what they do.”

A goal the club wants to accomplish this year is proving more information on oral hygiene for elementary education. This semester, the club will visit schools in the Tucson Unified School District and teach children the benefits of teeth care by supplying new toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss to children donated by local dentists around Tucson.

“When we go to the schools we have a curriculum and we teach that curriculum to fourth and fifth graders to get them excited about oral health care,” Hindy said. “We have a dentist from the community come with us to take pictures of the kids’ teeth and then a month later we go back to the school and see how well they did.”

Another project the club will participate in this year is Hope Fest 2011.

The event will provide free dental and

medical care to the public at Kino Sports Complex on Oct. 22. Other items, including free clothing, hygiene products and food, will also be at the event. Kimberly Engols, a senior studying ecology and evolutionary biology and secretary of the club, volunteered last year helping dental practices at the event and remembers the large turnout.

“Oral heath professions like dentists and hygienists get together and perform free dentistry for people who can not afford it on a regular basis,” Engols said. “We help out as many people as we can. I have seen people camp out the night before the event just to make sure they will get seen when the gates open to the stadium in the morning.”

With projects and events lined up this school year, Rollins says the club will be trying to give experience to students as a way to stand out when applying to dental school after graduation from the UA. “It’s a little more challenging finding experience in the dental setting than it is for students who are interested in getting some clinical experience who are pre-med,” Rollins said. “So having an active club that helps connect students with local dentists to get that kind of experience is really valuable for the students interested in the field.”

Greeks kick off drug awareness

By Eliza Molk DAILY WILDCAT

Greek Life hosted a banner competition and sold bracelets on the UA Mall in honor of deceased fraternity member Wilson Forrester to begin its first Drug Awareness Week.

The Interfraternity and Panhellenic councils, which are the governing bodies of Greek Life, are hosting the week and asked chapter houses to create banners. The banners will hang all week in front of respective chapter houses, according to Jessica Hermann, president of the Panhellenic Council.

“Drug free is the way to be” was the slogan on Pi Beta Phi’s banner, which was “catchy” and “not as dry as some of the others,” according to Lexi Sutter, the sorority’s president and a journalism senior.

“Drug use is prevalent on college campuses, and it can’t be swept under the rug,” she said. “People don’t realize that drugs are as widely used as alcohol.”

KEVIN BROST/DAILY WILDCAT

Members of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority demonstrate their support for Drug Awareness Week with a banner in front of their chapter house on Monday.

Sutter said the banner took a couple hours to make, and that a few of the Pi Beta Phi members are in charge of making all of the sorority’s banners. In addition, her sorority hosted a question-and-answer ses-

sion with a University of Arizona Police Department officer on Monday for UA community members to have an “open time” to ask about drugs and alcohol, according to Sutter.

Tianna Krejci, a junior studying retailing and consumer science and a member of Alpha Phi sorority, said the week is important because it emphasizes staying healthy and can keep people from doing drugs. Her sorority’s banner read, “Get high off life, not drugs,” which Krejci said took sorority member Brooke Roberts four hours to make.

Krejci said she is most excited for the executive board training event today at 5 p.m., where representatives from Campus Health Service, UAPD and Greek Life will be discussing how to spot potential drug problems.

“We all (members of Alpha Phi) get to go,” she said. “It’s good for sisterly bonding.”

In addition, Greek Life members sold $4 purple “W.F.F.’,” or Wilson Forrester Foundation bracelets on the UA Mall to benefit the Wilson Forrester Scholarship Fund.

Forrester was a member of Phi

Gamma Delta fraternity. He died from an accidental overdose last semester.

Jourdan Broadfoot, a member of the Chi Omega sorority and a biochemistry freshman, sold the bracelets and said she was hoping to sell a “pretty substantial amount.” Broadfoot said many people don’t know about the side effects and dangers of drugs, and that Drug Awareness Week could help battle that.

“Drugs are just not worth the risk,” she said. “People don’t always realize the possible outcomes they (drugs) can have.”

Broadfoot added that she is looking forward to Wednesday’s event, where the governing Greek councils will host a speaker for freshmen and new Greek Life members about how to avoid drug use.

“The whole week is very relevant to college life,” said Jason Ikpatt, a freshman studying molecular and cellular biology who was also selling bracelets on the Mall.

A case for economic patience Storm Byrd Daily Wildcat

T

he after effects of the economic recession that ranged from December 2007 until June 2009 are still being felt. Unfortunately, the pain is staked largely in the middle class American’s home. According to a study conducted by two former Census Bureau officials, the median household income fell 6.7 percent. That’s just over double how far it fell during the recession.

Although the economy has been on the rise ever since July 2009, the recovery still hasn’t officially begun.

Americans are still unable to find work.

Yes, the unemployment rate fell from 9.5 percent to 9.2 percent, but that isn’t noticeable enough for the Americans who are struggling. Furthermore, for those fortunate Americans that do find work, they have to go longer stretches of time before that happens. The Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics states that average length of time it takes a person who lost their job to find new work is at its highest point in roughly 60 years.

When the recession began back in December 2007, it was an average of 16.6 weeks before a person found work again. That jumped to 24.1 weeks in June 2009 and then skyrocketed to 40.5 weeks in September 2011.

Economic growth has most certainly occurred, yet job opportunities and wages have failed to follow. Despite inflation, which caused a spike in oil and food prices, wages can’t quite keep pace. Interestingly enough, during the recession, wages outran inflation. Some believe this can be attributed to workers taking pay cuts just to be employed. Of course, some money is better than no money in dire circumstances.

So what we’re currently witnessing is essentially the aftermath of fooling ourselves that the worst had already come. It’s easy to talk about a recession when you haven’t quite felt the crushing blow, or seen all of the effects. That is where we currently are. Yet, it is important that at these trying times we do not allow our fears of uncertainty and lack of monumental success to deter our thinking.

Back in the fall of 2008, people had the hope they were looking for. They rallied behind Democrats and they cast their vote for Barack Obama. A mere five months after Obama toke office the recession ended. While there are fears of a return of a recession, no such thing has happened. While job growth remains limited, it cannot grow if the economy doesn’t continue to grow. Just as Rome wasn’t built over night, not all matters of economic downturn can be rectified immediately.

Yes, four years has nearly come and gone yet Americans still don’t see the direct effect on their lives. But we have to ask ourselves, have we honestly given the plans and policies we stood behind in 2008, their due shot? From 2009 until 2010, the US GDP increased from $14.119 trillion to $14.582 trillion. That’s one year of progress under the men and women we elected from the 2008 elections. That’s progress.

We didn’t however give them our full faith. In 2010, the American people failed to recognize and appreciate the growth, and were still understandably hurting at home. The “Tea Party” came through “mad as hell” and knocked several politicians out of office. The progress was undone. The successful were replaced by the angry and stubborn.

So before we continue to question our faith and doubt our convictions, of which we so firmly stood by in 2008, ask if we have given our government the tools for success. Yes, Americans are hurting and that is a reality of which nobody wants to live through. But, things are always going to get worse before they get better.

Pardon the cliché but it’s always darkest just before the dawn. We made a change in 2008 and we saw immediate progress, at least statistically. Although, the success is yet to affect the lives of everyday Americans, we cannot allow our faith to falter every two years. Although collapse can come quickly, recovery takes time.

An unlikely Cain-didate Joshua Segall Daily Wildcat

T

he 2012 presidential race is already shaping up to be one of the most exhilarating ones yet. With President Barack Obama’s poll numbers at record lows, the Republican Party is drawing a large amount of attention in what is sure to be a whirlwind campaign. We are roughly 13 months away from Election Day, yet there is still a lot to be decided in the Republican race. One nominee who wasn’t expected to show any promising signs of hope was Herman Cain. But after winning a number of recent straw polls, Cain has begun to emerge as one of the GOP’s top candidates.

Herman Cain is the son of two hard-working, low-income parents. His father worked three jobs as a barber, janitor and chauffer, while his mother was a housekeeper. Cain received his undergraduate degree from Morehouse College with a degree in mathematics and went on to receive his master’s degree from Purdue University while working as a civilian employee for the Navy.

After graduating, Cain moved back to Atlanta and went to work for Coca-Cola before moving to become the regional vice president of Pillsbury’s Burger King division. Just a few years later Cain advanced within Pillsbury to become the CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, a company that was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. In just

over a year, Cain turned the company around.

Some might wonder what a man with only business experience is doing running for President. With so many Americans upset with all facets of the government and political games, Herman Cain seems to provide a solution to at least some of these problems.

With our country on the brink of another financial meltdown, perhaps Cain is just what this country needs. Cain’s economic plan, the 9-9-9 Plan, is a simple, yet genius plan. The plan calls for 9 percent national sales tax, 9 percent business flat tax and a 9 percent individual flat tax minus any charitable deductions one might have made over that past year. Under this plan, individuals would be able to know just how much they will owe in taxes every year without having to worry about what the government plans to take.

This plan gives extreme opportunities to both small and big businesses. Under his plan, businesses would know exactly how much to budget for taxes each year. Capital gains taxes would be eliminated and the “death tax,” a tax on estates and wills, would be eliminated, allowing businesses to hire more people and new businesses to form. With this idea, innovation would begin to rapidly increase as more companies are able to enter the marketplace as a result of cheaper

affordability. This plan eliminates the current disastrous tax code and allows the free markets to prevail, a cornerstone to the U.S. and its economy.

It is clear that our country isn’t working, and nothing seems to be changing. Business as usual continues to go on in Washington, D.C. Cain has proven that he can turn a company around in a very short time. He demonstrated that he knows how economies and businesses work, and that it takes a team to get things done. These same principles can be applied when considering that it takes congressional approval to pass bills into law.

Cain might seem like the least likely candidate to be running for the GOP nomination, but he seems to offer more than any of the other candidates, and polls reflect this. In September, he won the Florida Straw Poll, and two weeks ago Cain won both the TeaCon Straw Poll and the National Federation of Republican Women’s Straw Poll with over 77 percent and 48 percent of the votes respectively. Just this past weekend, Cain took a landslide 52.6 percent of the votes at the Republican Straw Poll at the Midwest Leadership Conference in Minnesota. An IBOPE Zogby poll even showed Cain beating out Obama by 2 percent.

Cain’s rise to the top is a clear sign that the American people are unhappy with how things are running, and that politics might not be the answer. Cain believes in real solutions.

Somebody like Herman Cain might just be exactly what America needs. Barring any campaign trail gaffs, Cain might just stand a chance at becoming the next president after all.

Campus parking: Slim pickings Michelle A. Monroe Daily Wildcat

P

arking spaces are going extinct on campus. There are more than 50,000 people on campus trying to park, and unless they have a parking permit, it’ll be hell.

When the new residence halls were built, they were built on two parking lots, therefore adding more students to the campus and taking away hundreds of parking spaces.

According to Joyce Childers, the program coordinator of enforcement at UA Parking and Transportation Services, there are 18,200 parking spaces campus wide, including service spaces and motorcycle parking.

Hmmm. That doesn’t even cover half the number of people on campus.

And of those parking spaces, there are full parking lots that are closed to people from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m.

The 9 p.m. rule is a new one and a dumb one. The nice part about parking on campus used to be that after 5 p.m., most of the lots were free and open to the public. Now there’s an extra four hours where parking is limited and drivers can get tickets. I can’t help but shake my head at the new hours while I drive past an almost entirely empty lot at 5:30 p.m.

Childers said the majority of parking violations can be attributed to the cost of parking permits, a shortage of spaces and the fact that the UA is an open campus, meaning some of the violations are committed by drivers outside of the UA community.

Lot specific permits cost around $500 and garage specific permits cost

almost $600.

Once you get into the garage, a parking spot isn’t guaranteed. Take Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage for example. Half the spots on the ground floor are reserved, handicapped spots, Connect by Hertz cars and spaces for a maximum of two hours. These spots mostly remain empty through the day. Is this really what I’m paying half a grand for?

Obviously, the campus should be in compliance with The Americans with Disabilities Act, but available parking is shrinking and shrinking.

The spots on Fourth Street were once metered and are now reserved.

On game days or for special events, parking garages are packed, lines form at every entrance and exit, and it can take 20 minutes following someone who drives like my grandma to find an open space. It’s not too much to ask that a parking space be readily available for those who pay $568 a year for a spot.

At the University of California, Berkeley, professors who win the Nobel Prize get a reserved parking space. “Probably the single most important thing about the Nobel Prize for most people is whether they get the coveted parking space on campus,” said Saul Perlmutter, a physics professor who won the prize recently. For once, a special reserved parking space that makes sense.

Can’t we go back to survival of the fittest? If you show up early, you get a spot close to your class. If you don’t, you park far away. If the university is going to continue taking away parking lots, they should counter with cheaper prices and relax the rules for special parking.

The only positive thing to come out of Parking and Transportation Services recently is that it lost some of its officers due to budget cuts.

Now, only eight officers and four student officers patrol the parking areas, so the chances of someone catching me parking in the two-hour maximum spots all day are slimmer than last year.

Police Beat

By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat

Sharing the blame — that’s not all A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to Likins Hall at 1 a.m. on Thursday in reference to an odor of marijuana coming from one of the rooms. The officer met with the resident assistant, who escorted him to the room he believed the smell was coming from. The officer knocked on the door and a resident answered. The officer noticed a strong smell of marijuana smoke and that a vaporizer was on the desk. The resident gave the officer the vaporizer and an orange pill bottle with one of the resident’s names on it. The bottle contained about 0.4 grams of marijuana. The two residents identified themselves with California driver’s licenses. The prescription had only one of the resident’s names on it, but the other resident wished to be charged for possession of marijuana as well because the drugs and vaporizer belonged to both of them, he said.

They told the officer they bought the vaporizer online for $100. Both men were cited and released on charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. The marijuana and vaporizer were placed into UAPD property and evidence.

Order doesn’t stick, but odor does UAPD officers responded to the Arizona Health Sciences Library around noon on Thursday in reference to a man who was causing a disturbance. An employee met with the officers and said he had received several complaints from students about a man’s personal hygiene and odor. The employee added that the man had been eating something and had caused a mess in the area he was sitting. The officers approached the man and recognized him from previous police contacts. There were several food crumbs around the area. The officers told the man that library staff had requested he leave and he went outside to talk to the officers. The man told the officers he had been told not to return to the UA libraries and a records check revealed the man had an active exclusionary order from the UA. He said he frequents the UA libraries two or three times a week but he had not been contacted by UAPD since the exclusionary order was issued. The man was placed under arrest on charges of second-degree criminal trespassing and was transported to Pima County Jail.

Cruiser bike sails away A UAPD officer spoke with a woman over the phone on Thursday in reference to a stolen bike. The woman said she had locked her bike with a cable lock to a rack in front of Sky View Apartments on Wednesday around 1 p.m. and when she returned to the rack Thursday morning, her bike was gone. The bike was a new pink Cruiser, with a silver basket in the back and the name “Jenny” written in black letters on the frame. The woman provided the serial number and said she believed her parents may have registered the bike, but a check with Parking and Transportation Services revealed no registration.

Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

Q

As a transgender student on prescribed masculinizing hormones, are my intoxication rates the same as my desired sex or more like my birth sex?

A. unfortunately, there is no sex equity. Due to physiological When it comes to sex and alcohol consumption,

difference between the sexes, biologically born females will get intoxicated quicker than males. One reason is that males and females have different body water content. On average, males are approximately 68% water and women are 55%. Males tend to have more muscle tissue than women. Muscle tissues have more water than fat tissues do. Females simply have less body fluid to dilute alcohol. Another reason is that biologically born females have 30% less of the liver enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) which is responsible for metabolizing alcohol. The final reason for inequity is that biological males tend to weigh more than females.

So what does this mean for male to female (MTF) and female to male (FTM) transgender students? This writer could not find any research on this specific topic (I see a thesis paper in someone’s future), but I was able to consult with endocrinologist, Mitchell Parker, MD. Those who hormonally transition from female to male will see a decrease in adipose tissue, an increase in muscle mass, and therefore more body fluid. This should make their BAC levels increase slower than they would have before they transitioned. But, their bodies will not produce more ADH. For those who transition from male to female, it follows that they would still have the benefit of producing ADH like they did when they were male. However, they would be more at risk for quicker and higher BAC levels because of a decrease in muscle mass and an increase in adipose tissue. The greater factor, according to Dr. Parker, is ADH, which remains a factor of the genetic sex as well (though currently, there is no empirical evidence to support this).

I’m telling you, grad students, this is your opportunity.

The take home message, whether one is born male or female, or transitions to another sex, is that there are biological, hormonal and chemical factors that one must consider to remain safer if you choose to drink alcohol.

Coaching search

Byrne begins patient coaching search

By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat

After seven and a half years at the helm of Arizona football, head coach Mike Stoops was released from his position on Monday. While defensive coordinator Tim Kish takes over as interim head coach for the Wildcats, Arizona Athletics administration will try to capitalize on the time left in the season by interviewing potential coaching prospects.

Athletic director Greg Byrne is looking for someone with dedication to advance the program.

“What we want to have is a passion for college football and passion for the student-athlete,” Byrne said in a press conference on Monday. “(Someone who will care) about them athletically, academically, socially.”

The search committee, headed by Byrne, also consists of deputy athletic director Rocky LaRose, and the senior associate directors of business and external operations, John Perrin and James Francis.

There’s not one attribute that Byrne values more than others in a candidate, whether it be football philosophies or background.

“There’s a lot of different things, and not any one person fits all of those things,” he said.

Byrne said that, as of now, the department is

peak

from page 1

expected to turn the Wildcats into Rose Bowl contenders.

He wasn’t supposed to compete with Oregon and Phil Knight’s wallet, USC and its 11 national championships, or Stanford’s prestige. Jim Livengood brought the coach to Tucson nearly eight years ago with the sole purpose of making Arizona football competitive.

From that standpoint, mission accomplished.

“Coach Stoops did a lot of great things for this program,” said athletic director Greg Byrne. “He took over a challenging situation and made things better. We certainly want to thank him for all of his efforts.”

The 2011 Wildcats are 1-5. They’ve looked tissue soft with little to look forward to, and the majority of that is on Stoops. But Stoops’ eight-year tenure is about much more than the 2011 Wildcats.

Over the course of the last three seasons, Arizona entered the year legitimately talking about making a Rose Bowl run — they were one 2009 Oregon win away from making that a reality.

He brought national attention to Arizona football as well.

Would ESPN GameDay have ever come to Arizona Stadium two years ago without Stoops? Would the Wildcats have ever opened the season with four consecutive national TV games as they did this season?

Probably not.

Stoops proved to be the perfect transition coach — like Denny Green was for the Arizona Cardinals.

He made Arizona relevant again.

With all of that said, it was time for Arizona football to move on.

Byrne

from page 12

“I like Mike a lot,” Byrne said. “Mike and I get along very well. It was not an easy decision whatsoever.”

I believe it, but the harder part for Byrne lies ahead.

Not that I don’t think he’s capable of making a solid hire. Byrne has hardly stalled on the north end zone project at Arizona Stadium, and the new video board was just an appetizer of what’s to come. Finding a coach who can take advantage of that, however, will be key.

Byrne’s reputation of rebuilding a Mississippi State football program

Pro/con

not hiring an outside firm to help in the search but it could seek further help in the future.

The hire will likely be made a few weeks after Arizona concludes its season.

“I’m not as concerned about time frames,” Byrne said. “From an integrity standpoint, it’s important to not interrupt a sitting head coach’s season and what they’re doing with their program.”

Chris Petersen

While the possibility of Petersen leaving behind his 66-5 head coaching record at Boise State seems like a lofty idea, he certainly will be a target for the Arizona head coaching job. Since taking over the Broncos as head coach in 2005, Petersen lead the Broncos to four Western Athletic Conference titles and looks primed to take the Mountain West title at the end of this season. There have been talks about Boise State getting a potential Big 12 conference bid, but if that fails, Petersen might think about changing gears and switching into the automatic-qualifying Pac-12.

Mike Leach

The former Texas Tech head coach was fired at the end of the 2009 season for allegedly

Stoops lost the team over the last year.

Any coach who goes winless against its last 10 FBS opponents deserves to get canned, and Stoops wasn’t the right coach to elevate Arizona to elite status.

After the Wildcats defeated Iowa at home last season to move to No. 9 in the country, expectations became too high.

Arizona was expected to compete with the elite conference opponents, and Stoops didn’t have the tools for wins like that. His strengths lied in schematics, not player management or motivational speaking.

But when people look back at Stoops’ era years from now, they’ll see how he was the perfect steppingstone for the Wildcats.

“When I took this job, I was hoping to be the first coach to lead this program to a Rose Bowl,” Stoops said in a statement. “Although we fell short of that goal, we made significant progress.”

Arizona definitely did. The Wildcats have four and five-star recruits that would have never traveled near Tucson in the early 2000s, a quarterback and a wide receiver with a chance to go in the first two rounds of the 2012 draft.

Between his sideline antics and inability to win big games, Stoops is easy to hate. #FireStoops hit Twitter, while students posted Facebook statuses hoping for losses to get Stoops fired.

But Stoops did everything he was supposed to do.

“I think a lot of guys will look back and see what coach Stoops did not only for the program but for the players,” Elmore said. “If I saw him I’d go up to him, shake his hand and say, ‘Thank you for making me become a better football player.’”

that has thrived following Byrne’s departure is a welcome sign of things to come, and luck has much to do with making the right hire, as well. Just look at Byrne’s predecessor, Jim Livengood, and his hiring of head basketball coach Sean Miller as proof.

When all is said and done, however, Byrne’s next move — not his past at Mississippi State or his overseeing of the north end zone — could catapult his own history forward. It can also bring it crashing down.

The pressure cooker is now turned on. Will Greg burn like Stoops?

coaching, but he could be courted by Arizona for such a position.

Ricky Hunley

Arizona could turn to former Wildcat linebacker and College Football Hall of Fame member Ricky Hunley, who received back-toback All-American honors in 1982 and 1983.

Hunley is the assistant linebackers coach for the Oakland Raiders, but Arizona might look at Rich Rodriguez Hunley’s Tucson star power in considering him After making his name running the spread as a candidate. option offense at West Virginia, Rodriguez took the head coaching job at the University Chuck Cecil of Michigan, but was let go after three seasons.

The word is out never coached in the NCAA, the local name on whether or not Bellotti wants to return to recognition could work for him.

Arizona kick-off specialist John Bonano could likely be the Wildcats’ answer in extra point and field goal kicking as the team enters its second half of the season.

Not so special: Wildcats kickers unable to convert Team’s FG, PAT woes continued Saturday against Oregon State

By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat

Kicking an extra point after a touchdown is just something that you have to make.

For the Arizona Wildcats this season, their Achilles heel of not being able to convert field goals or extra points is starting to turn into a death sentence.

It left former head coach Mike Stoops baffled and interm head coach Tim Kish in left to pick up the pieces.

“I don’t know what to think about our kicking game right now,” Stoops told the media in Corvallis, Ore., after the Wildcats’ 37-27 loss to Oregon State. “It totally discombobulates my thinking on everything. We keep giving people chances and opportunities but

at some point it becomes ridiculous.”

Coming off a week where he missed back-to-back extra points, Arizona kicker Alex Zendejas needed to come out strong against Oregon State if he wanted to retain his starting position.

Simply put, he didn’t.

After missing a field goal attempt and another extra point, the 12th missed extra point of his career, Stoops decided to hand the job over to kick-off specialist John Bonano.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with Alex,” Stoops said. “I really don’t.”

Bonano has been the Arizona kick-off man since the start of the season and hadn’t taken a scoring try in two years, but he converted on an extra point with 11 minutes left in the game.

Bonano had been prepared to fill the role since the start of the week when Stoops told him that he might see some time on Saturday.

“Coach told me before the game to be ready and that I could go in

at some point this game,” Bonano told the media in Corvallis. “When I saw the first two missed, I started getting mentally prepared and (took) some kicks.”

For a team that is now sitting at 1-5 after Saturday and wondering where half of its season has gone, it’s obviously not just the kicking game that is plaguing the Wildcats, but the lack of confidence is certainly not helping.

If Arizona can’t take advantage of all its scoring opportunities, then there is no way it can be successful — simple as that.

Assuming Bonano retains the starting job, Kish might begin to have some confidence in his team’s ability to score points in other ways than crossing the goal line.

“I have been traveling as the backup field goal kicker for a while,” Bonano said. “I am focusing on kickoffs as my specialty so I have been ready, but they finally called my name.”

Should football give youngsters experience for next season?

PRO: Time for a youth movement

B

mistreating a player. Before he was released, Leach had taken the Red Raiders to 10 consecutive winning seasons and had nine consecutive bowl appearances. Leach would’ve coached his 10th in a row at the 2009 Alamo Bowl, but was let go shortly before. Currently he’s an analyst for CBS College Sports Network, but Arizona could look at him as a potential candidate if he wants to return to the sidelines.

arring some sort of miracle — a miracle that Arizona has looked totally incapable of pulling off — the Wildcats aren’t going bowling this year.

Not the Rose Bowl. Not the Las Vegas Bowl.

Not the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.

But even though wins are next to impossible to come by, there’s one thing that can make a miserable 2011 season worthwhile, and that’s finding out which young players are going to be able to produce in 2012 and beyond.

It’s time to get Austin Hill a few extra snaps per game. We know he can play, but let him make mistakes and learn from them now, instead of next year when there’s a lot more on the line.

Get Richard Morrison and Garic Wharton on the field a little more. Let them learn how to use their athleticism at this level.

Get defensive ends Dan Pettinato and Lamar De Rego into the game. They can get experience for next year too. And it

won’t hurt anything; their production can’t be any lower than C.J. Parish and Mohammed Usman’s.

Nothing good comes from sticking with the same lineups that have produced loss after loss, especially in a season that’s spiraling further down the drain with each week that goes by.

It’s not time to completely give up on 2011, but it’s time to turn an eye to 2012, especially now that Mike Stoops is no longer the head coach. Let the guys that are going to contribute next year get the mistakes out of their systems now.

That’s the sort of thing that helps a program gain stability. You know, the kind of thing that keeps a program from starting 1-5 just a year after starting the season with realistic Rose Bowl aspirations.

CON: Veterans are owed shot at redemption

A

rizona’s veterans earned starting positions to begin the 2011 football season. For Wildcats like Derek Earls, C.J. Parish and Mohammed Usman, this season is theirs to own.

So no matter what bleak outlook anyone might have about how successful this Arizona team might be for the second half of this year under interim head coach Tim Kish, those seniors and juniors might as well have a shot at redemption in what appears to be a lost season.

Of course, this team might be tempted to give looks at some young guns across the roster now that former head coach Mike Stoops is gone.

Development and experience, after all, could make next year’s team all that much better.

Or will it?

Look at it this way. The seniors listed on the depth charts — even the ones on a defense that’s among the worst in the country — are starting because they earned their way. Guys like Parish and Usman, despite their poor production, must be practicing better than the fresh talents of players. Right?

Stoops and his coaching staff must have thought so. Otherwise they wouldn’t have stuck with them this deep into the year.

In the name of dignity, give the guys who have struggled a shot to redeem themselves.

Play out this year as if the Wildcats still expect to get to the Rose Bowl. (How silly of a thought is that looking right now?)

It’s a one-game-at-a-time approach that’s necessary to fix, well, nearly everything.

But throwing in freshmen off the bench just to get game experience won’t help all that much down the road if they’re not ready — if they’re unprepared, it might just beat them down mentally.

Kish can use the first-half failure as a teaching tool in the veterans’ case.

The lesson would teach them not to secondguess their own decisions. Stick to your guns, get back up after defeat, and at the end of the day, at least you went down swinging.

How to sleep when a bed goes missing

MOVIN’ ON UP

Today you’ve been selected for the Daily Wildcat’s On The Spot interview! How do you feel?

I feel rested and ready to work on my essays.

Me too. I just slept for about 12 hours. How did you achieve your restfulness today?

By sleeping about 16 hours.

KEVIN BROST/DAILY WILDCAT

Coronado Residence Hall, built in 1966, undergoes construction and renovation on Monday. It is scheduled to re-open in fall 2012.

Always a good way to do it.

Where is the best place to sleep for 16 hours if your own bed isn’t available?

Philosophy It depends on in which sense my student bed isn’t available. If there were people sleeping on my bed, I would question their manners in doing so and probably end up sleeping on top of them. If my bed were unavailable due to being stolen, then I would probably sleep on the floor where my bed used to be.

FAST FACTS • Tags on mattresses are required by law to describe the filling and fabric. Until recently, the tags read, “Do not remove under penalty of law.”

• These days, the tags have been changed so that consumers do not feel that they’re violating the law

when they take the tag off.

• The term “sleep tight” comes from the 16th century, when mattresses were held up by ropes that needed regular tightening.

• Mattresses double in weight after 10 years of use, from body oils and dustmites.

Kish to step in as coach Time to Commentary

Defensive coordinator takes interim tag for remainder of season

By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat

After seven and a half seasons serving as an assistant coach of the Arizona defense, Tim Kish will replace former head coach Mike Stoops and will serve as the Wildcats’ interim head coach during the search for a permanent replacement, Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne announced Monday.

“I appreciate (Byrne’s) faith in me to provide leadership to our young men during this difficult time,” Kish said in a statement. “I know this coaching staff will work hard and support our players as we compete for the remainder of the season.”

Kish served as Arizona’s co-defensive coordinator for the 2010 season and took over solo coordinator duties after the 2010 Valero Alamo Bowl.

Byrne said the decision to promote Kish to interim head coach was an easy one based on his near-eight-year tenure at Arizona — the longest of any coach on staff.

“He’d been with (the team) every step of the way, and that made sense from a lot of aspects,” Byrne said. “He’s involved in everything we’re doing from a recruiting standpoint, coaching standpoint, terminology, across the board.”

Kish has played an integral role in Arizona’s recruiting for the past severColin Darland / Daily Wildcat al years — he signed seven members of Arizona’s 2010 staff and was named the Then-defensive coordinator Tim Kish directs Arizona players during the Wildcats’ camp at Ft. staff’s top recruiter in 2008 — and has 19 Huachuca this summer.

shine for Byrne Kevin Zimmerman Daily Wildcat

A

rizona athletic director Greg Byrne has pulled all the perfect media tricks.

He’s been open and honest, calling for boosters to report any wrongdoings or NCAA violations.

He’s played the PR game with Twitter and Facebook, giving away prizes by interacting with fans, all the while getting personal. He’s traveled the state — from Phoenix to Payson to little towns in between — to show that he’s here for Wildcat fans.

Beginning a weekly written release called Wildcat Wednesdays, Byrne has also shed light on the undercarriage of intercollegiate athletics for the public. He sent that release out the wrong day this week to announce that Arizona football head coach Mike Stoops had been fired on Monday.

He’s supposed to do all those things. And he should.

But the jury is still out.

Here’s where we get to see if former UA President Robert Shelton was correct when he hired Byrne on March 22, 2010, and called him one of the “rising stars” in the business. In the next three months, we’ll find out if this young-gun athletic director is for real as he faces his first major hiring at Arizona.

People are a little too quick to throw out praise for canning Stoops, and it’s drinking the Byrne Kool-Aid too early.

“I’d like to congratulate Greg on the decisiveness of this decision,” said UA President Eugene Sander on Monday night.

Oh, Eugene, firing Stoops was easy.

He hasn’t won a game against a Football Bowl Subdivision team in nearly a year, and he lost to a team in Oregon State that couldn’t even defeat Sacramento State this season. You could also cite the overused and oversimplified theory that “Stoops wasn’t Byrne’s guy” as a reason to move to a new era.

Byrne refuted that mentality on Monday.

Byrne, 8

Reaction to Mike stoops’ firing “I can see from the fans’ standpoint how they didn’t want Mike (Stoops) there but from a players’ standpoint he had the players’ respect. He always stood up for the players, and he always took the blame no matter how bad it got. I have the utmost respect for that man.”

— Brooks Reed former UA defensive end

“He was very straightforward. He didn’t really hold anything back. He’d tell it how it was. Everyone knows he had a lot of energy. He was a hardnosed coach. He coached you hard and he expected you to play hard.”

Arizona’s Kyle Fogg on a mission Guard takes almost 40,000 shots in offseason, focuses on leadership

By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

After Arizona’s Elite Eight loss to UConn last season, Kyle Fogg went to basketball head coach Sean Miller for advice.

The senior guard asked what he could do to help the Wildcats make a second consecutive deep tournament run. Winning in March felt too good, and Arizona came too close to its first Final Four since 1997 for Fogg to sit back and soak it in.

“I was just like, ‘I want to be the best player I can next year to help this team be to get back to that place,’” Fogg explained. “Just because that feeling was so great. I said, ‘What can I do to help our team get those wins?’”

Miller told his senior leader, who saw both his field goal percentage and three-point percentage drop last season, to get in the gym and work on his jump shot.

Before giving Fogg a plan of action, Miller asked the Brea, Calif., native how serious he was, on a scale of one to 10, about becoming a lethal shooter and giving the Wildcats added range and accuracy.

“I told him 11,” Fogg said.

So Miller set the bar high for Fogg. The goal? A combination of 40,000 set shots, pull-up jumpers and collegiate and NBA 3-pointers over the course of summer workouts.

Fogg all but reached that ambitious goal, taking 39,132 shots and making 26,414 of them, good for 67.5 percent.

“It’s intense. Just everyday, shooting everyday,” Fogg said. “40,000 — it doesn’t sound like that much.

When I kind of heard, I was like, yeah, I can get that for sure. But it was definitely a lot of hard work. I reached my goal.”

The entire team hoisted 96,324 shots this summer, but no one put in more work than Fogg. And his jump shot wasn’t the only area Fogg worked on in the offseason.

The usually rail-thin two-guard also put on more

than 10 pounds in the offseason, taking him from the 177 pounds he ended the season at to 188. He hopes to get up to 195 and eventually play the 2011-12 season at 190 pounds.

But more important than his new and improved jump shot and his bigger build, Fogg has developed the necessary leadership to guide a young Wildcats squad. Although quiet on the surface, Fogg is turning into Miller’s coach on the floor and UA’s unquestioned leader.

“He’s definitely coming out of his shell,” said senior forward Jesse Perry. “A lot of guys might see him as quiet. But inside of the gym it’s just us. Don’t nobody know what goes on. He knows this is his last year, and he wants to be good, you know, he wants to be a leader. He wants to win. That’s the most important thing.”

Fogg has been through the college basketball ringer.

He’s seen the rise and fall of the program, from the Russ Pennell days transitioning to the Miller era. He’s played more games, 104 with 85 starts, than any member on the 2011-12 Wildcats.

Because of that experience and developed leadership, the usually softspoken Fogg won’t keep quiet.

“I’m trying not to keep my mouth shut at all during workouts,” Fogg said. “Constantly talking, clapping my hands, stomping my feet. Anything I can do to get these guys a little more excited. I’m really ready to embrace this senior leadership role, not stop talking, trying to keep people involved.”

Four-star recruit Nick Johnson — and Arizona’s host of backcourt players including Brendon Lavender, Jordin Mayes and Josiah Turner — figured to cut into Fogg’s playing time. Fogg calld Johnson a “great player” who can “jump out of the gym.” He also said Turner is “one of the best passers I’ve ever seen.”

But given Fogg’s work ethic, leadership and added weight in the offseason, Arizona’s backcourt depth shouldn’t stop him from turning in a big senior season as the Wildcats’ most prominent figure.

“I know a lot of the guys look up to me and Fogg,” Lavender said. “I just hope everyone can be focused this year, be on the same page. We all want to win and it all starts in practice. Hopefully me and Fogg, with the most experience here, can make that work.”

Arizona’s Kyle Fogg hopes to better his shooting percentages in 2011-12 and is expected by his teammates to become the Wildcats’ leader.
