Kevin Sumlin and Butch Jones are two early names being mentioned in connection with the head coaching vacancy at Arizona.

The Wildcats on Tuesday night decided to fire Rich Rodriguez, who is being accused of workplace misconduct by his former administrative assistant. Arizona is an attractive job because of the promise Khalil Tate showed as a dual-threat QB, and because the program’s rival just hired Herm Edwards, whom many feel is an unqualified candidate.
