$1,000,000 per year, plus incentives. I like it. I like him. His honesty, his fire, his big mouth, all of it.

Stoops seems to have turned things around, finally. I wish the U could have waited to see if he could build on last year, or if the team is going to take a step back.

As you should, you're an ASU fan.

At least hoops is on the right track again.

Ugh, Bad move... we'll all be calling for his head if we fail to make a bowl game in 09/10 (which I think is about a 50/50 chance at this point)

Please prove me wrong Cats

I'll go against the grain and say I am happy this happened.

Stoops isn't perfect. And he has a personality and temprement that wears on people when things aren't going right. But I think Cat fans need to realize how deep in the moreass we were with Mackovic and that this wasn't your typical turnaround job.

I like the staff he has put around him, i like the recruiting classes he has inline for 2010 already, and I REALLY like how he handed ASU their azz last year.

We will see if he can build upon this but if he has another 8 win season and didn't get this raise he surely would have been looking next season.

I am on board with this. But this year will be the temperature check.

Last year was nice but now we will see where we are as a program.

At the very least if he does get fired for incompetence 2 years from now he restocked the cabinet. For that I am grateful as I have never been less happy with a "team" that I root for then I was when Mackovic was head coach.

It's a dumb idea because Stoops hasn't proven anything except that it takes him 5 years to go to have a winning record in the conference. What happens if we go 5-7 this year which isn't out of the realm of possibility (same goes for ASU, but that's a different topic) considering nobody has seen our QB play?

All I expect from any Arizona coach now that basketball is going to be sick again is winning 6-8 games just about annually while allowing a hiccup every few years while having a great season here and there. And putting an entertaining product with good kids who play hard. This isn't asking the world.

I'm with you. I think Stoops is doing a good job. The overall talent of the team is getting better each year.

Agree. Stoops inherited a program that was so bad and now he has his players in the system and he has depth. This year's defense is going to be his best yet and if Scott or Foles can produce and keep the turnovers down, the Cats can win just as many games as last year.

I really like what Stoops has done and it's only going to get better. Destroying ASU and beating BYU in The Las Vegas Bowl last year has this program definitely going in the right direction.

I love the fact many of you are hanging your hat on beating ASU last year, and more laughably in a year where we didn't even make a bowl game. Give that man a raise!!! Maybe you were asleep for the previous 3 where Stoops continually embarrassed himself and his team. Congrats on that Vegas Bowl win though, next year the mighty Sun Bowl!!!

Um, do you really not see it's the same as ASU fan hanging their hat on beating Arizona Basketball the last two years when being coached by a radio analyst and a complete psychopath? The same two years that were capped by 6th and 4th place finishes and NIT and Round of 32 trips which are laughable accomplishments to any basketball program that takes it's hoops seriously?

Stoops leaves a lot to be desired as a head coach, but perhaps you should take a gander at the ASU people on this board if you want to discuss people getting overexcited about taking advantage of their rival during their valleys.

Oh, of course...it's hilarious both ways. ASU fan will try and talk our "rising" basketball program up, and you guys will try to talk your football program into "if this happens, or if we can just get this guy" as well. It's all a fun part of the trash talking process. In the end, ASU will usually be better at football, and the Cats at basketball. Luckily for both sides, dreaming is free.

Actually the difference is you would need to go another 24 years to reach our programs level of excellence.

ASU is not very good at football now and wasn't all that great in the past. I am not trying to be a dick but there is no comparison. Last year just showed that the gap is not as wide as myopic ASU fans would have you believe.

You guys could have taken over on us with a bad hire and the mess of the last two years in basketball. But Miller essentially knocks any chance of that happening.

And Dennis Erickson isn't as good as you guys think apparently. We will see. I feel good about the direction of the team and one of those reasons is Dykes. Thats a Stoops hire.

If we beat you again this year have we justified ourselves? Its not like you have a coach who would be a lightweight. Russ and KO aren't coming back to help you add on in basketball either.

LOL, and the beat goes on. Thank you for proving my point.
