Why Steve Sarkisian hired Will Muschamp and fired Pete Kwiatkowski

Like just about everyone else, I was shocked by the news of Pete Kwiatkowski’s firing. I only found out 30 minutes before you did. Compounding that shock was immediately learning that his successor was already in place—Will Muschamp. We knew defensive backs coach Duane Akina would be gone, and all of a sudden that became a very minor footnote to December 18, 2025.
