Mike Stoops close to hiring new OC

Arizona coach Mike Stoops said Wednesday he could have a new offensive coordinator by the end of the week. Stoops said he has brought in three coaches for interviews. “We’re close,” Stoops said. “I’d say by Friday we’ll make some kind of decision.” Stoops must replace Sonny Dykes, who left to become the head coach of Louisiana Tech on Jan. 20 - two weeks before signing day. The Wildcats lost quarterback recruit Matt Brown because of it; Brown signed with TCU. “I’ve liked everyone I’ve had in,” Stoops said. “There are a lot of unbelievable coaches out there who have great experience and great ideas. We’re trying to find someone who will fit in with our staff the best.” – Tucson Citizen
