If it was 100% about the direction of the football program, why bring up the investigation at all? You really think this is all football related?

Basic PR move; the information about the affair came up tangentially in the investigation, but almost surely would have been leaked in the coming days. Just trying to get out ahead of it.
saying this is pure football related is a mike klis level, patrick smyth mandated spin
Because news of the investigation hit the national news a couple hours ago? It would be really stupid to take the time to craft a message and ignore the elephant in the room.
I kind of feel for RR in this case. He is being thrown under the bus by an employer who would rather do that than fight the allegations, even when a third party investigation apparently turned up no wrongdoing.
RR’s career will take a hit over something he was exonerated for. That sucks.

The more dysfunctional the Arizona programs can become, the better!!!
2018 and 2019 are opportunities for the Buffs, with the Herm Edwards experiment, and now the Arizona situation.
No excuses for MAC not to get us to at least 8 wins.
Interesting to see the comment by RG about the annual rollover of MM's contract. Yes, the new contract is only 6 months old, but the comment is at least a little bit of an edge by RG to say to MM, you are expected to do better, now go do it!!! Yes, Tate is still the AZ QB, but I expect to beat both of the Arizone schools this year.

Still going to be tough, until we see how our lines play, how chev is as an OC and eliot's year two defense, but other than that....I....agree...
I thought 2016 was our breakout year?
Yeah. That's really no one's damn business outside of him and his wife. I hate that stuff like that becomes public scandal and he has to address it to the public. He's a football coach. His marriage and fidelity are none of our damn business.
Really just seems like while the investigation didn't find things that would justify firing RR with cause, they found things that made them realize he's just a giant Puke, which he is.
Unless it is the Petrino situation at Arkansas, I agree.
The investigation's findings are incomplete without the cooperation of the complainant. Anyone saying "RR did nothing wrong" needs to keep that in mind.
(I would have linked the actual sexually explicit music video, but I didn't want any of you married 35 year olds pulling it up on your phones and getting into trouble with your wives)
Seems to me like him trying to turn a potentially negative public opinion situation into a positive for him. "Hey, he is a scumbag and cheated, but if he's willing to tell the world that, he MUST be telling the truth about his assistant". JMO.
The whole thing smells to me like they were pretty luke warm on keeping him anyway, have a guy in mind they want, and can spin it to the PC police media that they are a beacon of morality in the STD filled desert.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
My guess is there is some truth to the rumor that the phrase "Title IX doesn't exist here" was something of a slogan in the football offices. U of A and Tucson are blue, strikingly blue in comparison to the rest of the state. Fostering that kind of atmosphere and line of thought is not going to fly down there. I'm not saying that's the reason he was fired, but it could well have pushed the decision past the tipping point.
Now go hire Butch Jones. Let's blast this program back to the John Mackovic era.

If your quote was the worst of it (site blocks my ad blocker!), she had a ****ty job. If you can sue for that and win, civil courts will be very busy.
True. However, if she was tasked with lying to RichRod's wife about his affair and listening to his stories about his boning prowess, that's likely a hostile work environment.

5 Pac12 home games, and missing Stanford and Oregon is about as soft of a conference schedule as possible; especially since USC and Washington are sure losses home or away, so at least we get home games against the middle of the Pac teams.
Do we think 6-6 gets Mac fired?
...with a handful of grass.
