Byrne made perfect hires at State. He'll get Petersen or someone on that level to AZ.<div>Nutt is not on his radar.....</div>

Now starts the fun part for Arizona fans. Byrne will now shroud himself in Ninja secrecy, only to reappear weeks later with upgraded coach-in-hand.

He had to fire Croom, and there was no way around it. There was not much immediate pressure to fire Stoops mid-season. My guess is that he already has someone set in stone and lined up for the job. We will see an interim and then a big hire, likely Peterson, at the end of the season.

Offhand I would say that Miami, North Carolina, Washington and Arkansas are all better jobs that Arizona. Probably UCLA and Wisconsin too.

.Arizona's football history is not very good- and they are in no position to demand a name
