It makes sense and explains all too well why the Sun Devils wasted no time in firing Koetter. Hell, the paint on the victory over U of A wasn't even dry yet before they pulled the plug on Dirk mercifully.
I'm also bringing this up because noone else has yet, but it's gonna be pretty interesting seeing Marmie here again, especially back in the coordinator role.
Hey, why go for one big hire when you can get three? Chow is easily one of the best offensive coordinators of the past decade (when it comes to college football), Marmie's defensive mind cannot be denied and McGinnis, I feel, has the perfect personality to recruit. Really, I can see him having the same push here that Pete Carroll did on USC's success. He's already surrounded with two very good coaches, so all should be up to him to succeed.
If this is true, it's good to see Mac back in the Valley.. Should have never left.
In the end, I'm surprised Chow's not hanging on for a Head Coaching job.. I really am. But hey, no complaints to see him as Coordinator here!
In the end, I'm not going to hold my breath that this is a done deal, not until the word becomes official. Remember, Devil's Digest DID report that Rick Majerus took the men's basketball job too.
