[NU Sports] Coaching Caravan news

[Stephen Truog]

Wow ... the Big Least is full of classy coaches who know how to make an exit ... or at least a jerk-move exit!

Weird hire ... I understand leaving Pitt for asu, but it's certainly not the big name hire asu wanted ... especially when your rival gets RichRod and even Wazzu gets Leach ... you're gonna need to put up 50 or so to compete in the new PAC 12 and June jones was their man there before that debacle. Hard to figure why a huge school in a big city and growing recruiting hotbed can't get a big name???

Go Cats!!!
