On Tuesday night, things went from 0 to 100 real quick in Tucson as the Arizona Wildcats wound up firing head football coach Rich Rodriguez.
The move was sudden and unexpected, so naturally there were a lot of reactions from those close to the situation....namely players and coaches on the team and recruits that have already signed up to play for Rodriguez next year.
Just a sampling:
Wow, just wow.

Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman defensive end Adam Plant tells me he remains committed to #Arizona following the firing of Rich Rodriguez. One of higher-rated prospects on #Wildcats list https://t.co/UAHbv5Jj1L #BearDown pic.twitter.com/s80xPDvvB3

Informed him via email?! And after all he's done for the program, you let false allegations play a part in the decision? You're supposed to stand by your coaches, staff, and players. #KeepUAcoaches #BearDown
