After announcing his retirement Monday morning, former Arizona head coach Andy Lopez explained what went into the decision.
And it's not all about not having success on the field the past three years.
As we all know, coach Lopez had open heart surgery prior to the start of the 2014 season. He missed fall practice heading into that season to recover, and the team finished with a 22-33 record.
He detailed all the events that led to him having heart surgery with me a week before the 2014 campaign started. He admitted that he wasn't fully invested in 2014 before the start of this season, because he was having problems regaining strength after his heart scare.
