Message Board Hypotheticals...
Scenario 1:
We go 11-1 this season, losing in the National Championship in Nashville, TN to NDSU. Arizona finishes an abysmal season at 2-10 and immediately Hires Brennan Marion as HC. Marion brings much of his staff with him to UofA, as well as the Walter Payton Award winner Jaden Rashada. How do you fill the HC vacancy?
Scenario 2:
We go 5-7 this season, an FBS opportunity never materializes, nor do solid stadium plans. Marion accepts the OC position at Pitt. Guys entering portal left and right, pure chaos. What do we do?
What would you plan for if this is a one and done season for Marion? I'd be inclined to do whatever it took to keep either Merchant or Patterson on board as a HC for continuity's sake in either scenario. The wildcard in a Marion departure scenario??? Troy Taylor, lurking in the shadows eager for a second chance... which I would 100 give to him lol.
