Koetter out at ASU

Dirk Koetter is out at Arizona State, the first coaching casualty of the year in the Pac-10. Here's a good summation of it all from the Associated Press.

(And I say first since there are plenty of rumors about Walt Harris and Stanford out there.)

One name that is sure to come up as a possible replacement for Koetter --- at least until someone official shoots it down --- is that of Rick Neuheisel.

Neuheisel grew up in Tempe and used to go to just about every Sun Devils game growing up. His name was one of the first mentioned when Koetter got the job after the 2000 season, but at the time, the Huskies were on their way to the Rose Bowl and Neuheisel quickly brought that talk to a halt saying he wasn't interested.

Neuheisel's father has strong ties to the area as well and was a founding member of the group that helped bring the Fiesta Bowl to Tempe.

Another interesting change in the Pac-10 is the resignation of Bill Moos as the athletic director at Oregon. Here's a story from the Oregonian about it.

More about why Moos is leaving now is sure to come out in the next few days. But it felt from afar as if Moos was never held in the same esteem in Eugene after he publicly expressed his interest in coming to Washington to replace Barbara Hedges in January of 2004.
