It wasn’t very long ago and, if not mistaken, Pez “took a call” for that gig.
Guy was at Tulane 12 months ago then lost his Football coach to Alabama and the best replacement he could find was the Arizona coach. His days were numbered uDub.

Dannen’s UW replacement will face a slew of challenges, most notably dealing with Washington’s shaky financial situation.
Upon entry into the Big Ten, UW accepted a partial share of the conference’s media-rights deal worth $30 million per year, as opposed to the nearly $60 million other Big Ten programs will earn. Washington’s new conference will also require more travel expenses and resources for student-athletes, and the athletic department still must pay off its nearly $300 million loan for the 2012 renovation of Husky Stadium.
Pez isn’t on a prospective list of top eight picks to replace Dannen.
