TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona has fired offensive coordinator Dino Babers and reassigned defensive coordinator Duane Akina following a disappointing first season under coach Brent Brennan. The school announced Akina will remain on staff as an assistant leading the secondary. Special teams coordinator and linebackers coach Danny Gonzales will remain with the program but in a role to be determined. Arizona entered its first season under Brennan with high expectations after a massive turnaround under previous coach Jedd Fisch, now at Washington. The Wildcats never lived up to those, finishing 4-8 and 2-7 in their first Big 12 season.
