Arizona’s New Offensive Coordinator Gives Reason for Struggles During Camp
Arizona is going to have a different look to their team this year after Jedd Fisch was poached away by previous Pac-12 conference foe Washington this offseason following their impressive 10-win showing.
The good news for the Wildcats is they are in good hands with Brent Brennan taking over.
As they entered camp with their opener now less than a month away, this was a great opportunity to see how his philosophy might be translating to this group of players that has plenty of stars who are returning and some transfers coming in from San Jose State who followed their head coach.
What was interesting about how the staff played out when Brennan came to Arizona was he didn’t bring his offensive coordinator Kevin McGiven with him, instead opting to hire recently fired Syracuse head coach Dino Babers to take over that role.
Babers first got into coaching on the offensive side of the ball as a running backs coach at Eastern Illinois in 1987. He shifted around a couple different schools as wide receivers coach before coming to Arizona in 1995 where he eventually became the offensive coordinator from 1998-2000.
After three stints as a head coach, he is now returning back to the Wildcats under Brennan.
Getting things operational under a new coordinator for everyone involved will present some growing pains, something that was evident in practice on Friday.
It was documented that their offensive line had some major struggles during that session, but even their star quarterback Noah Fifita was missing some easy throws he normally makes.
However, Babers doesn’t seem to be too concerned with what took place because he attributed the issues to their installation of new offensive plays as the reason why things were out of rhythm, per Jason Scheer of 247Sports.
When everyone is on the same page by the time Game 1 rolls around, Scheer notes that this offense should provide opposing defenses with multiple challenges. Although they are keeping much of the same terminology that Fisch had last season, the overall offense will be different.
All in all, issues caused from an install aren’t a cause for concern.
The only thing that could be a problem is if the players aren’t able to pick up on things at a rapid pace.
This would prevent them from hitting the ground running in the opener, but the expectation is that their all-world wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan should be back in the mix which will help them when they take the field.
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Rain and snow are expected across Arizona this week, providing much-needed moisture after an unusually dry winter season.
Phoenix has received less than two-tenths of an inch of rain in 2026, which is more than an inch below average for this time of year.
The city is experiencing its warmest February on record, according to the National Weather Service.
Northern Arizona snow deficit continues
Flagstaff typically receives around five feet of snow by this point in the season, but only a little more than a foot has fallen so far this winter.
“The outlook through at least the early part of the spring does continue to favor a La Niña-like pattern, and that would lead to increased chances for below normal precipitation,” said Megan Taylor, National Weather Service meteorologist. “So the long-range outlook is basically a continuation of what we’ve seen. So we’re grateful to see this active pattern right now.”
Last season remained dry in northern Arizona until March, when several weather systems deposited about three feet of snow during that month.
The forecast indicates the current dry pattern may not allow the region to make up the precipitation deficit this season.

TEMPE — The Arizona State Sun Devils moved to 21-6 and 8-6 in the Big 12 on Saturday afternoon following a dramatic 75-69 win over Arizona that was won in a five-minute overtime period.
The Sun Devils faced adversity going into the game, as starting guard Last-Tear Poa was ruled out on Friday night’s player availability report – although the squad pulled through to secure another key win.
Arizona State on SI names three major winners from the contest in Tucson below.
Arizona State Stars
Arizona State’s season has been highlighted by a balanced, well-coached roster that plays well together.
Ultimately, the team knows where the ball is going in crunch time despite the interconnected nature of the main rotation – McKinna Brackens and Gabby Elliott delivered in incredible fashion.
Brackens knocked down a pull-up mid-range jump shot with just 3.3 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter that sent the game to overtime, while Elliott knocked down a three-point look on the wing off of a Brackens assist to put Arizona State up 70-67 at the 2:18 mark of overtime.
Elliott finished with 22 points that was rooted in an efficient 4-8 mark from behind the arc, while Brackens paced the team with 24 points – also grabbing seven rebounds and dishing out four assists.
Molly Miller
The first year of the new era under Miller’s leadership continues to be a resounding success.
The win over Arizona not only marked the first time the program’s bitter rival had been swept since the 2017-18 season, it also meant Miller became the most successful first-year coach in the history of the program – winning 21 games and counting to this point.
Miller’s hard-nosed philosophy, intentional roster building, and curation of a battle-tested staff have translated to the Sun Devils becoming a serious competitor in the Big 12 instantly – after years of struggles that were previously endured.
Arizona State’s Tournament Chances
The Sun Devils came into the weekend firmly on the tournament bubble, with ESPN’s Charlie Creme placing them in “last four in” territory.
A loss would have been disastrous for the Sun Devils’ tournament profile, as they already lost to Cincinnati going into the matchup. Avoiding this loss continued to add to their lofty win total, while also steadying the overall metrics that measure whether or not they are a tournament-level squad.
Arizona State returns to action on Wednesday night against Audi Crooks and Iowa State in what will be another opportunity to pick up a massive win.
