Arizona football coach search: Former Wildcats star Antoine Cason lobbies for position

There's been a lot of talk about the Arizona football program needing to hire a former player to replace Kevin Sumlin as the coach of the Wildcats.

While Tedy Bruschi is not pursuing the position, another former player is lobbying for the job.

Antoine Cason, a defensive back who played at Arizona from 2004-07, had an opinion piece published by the Arizona Daily Star Monday, explaining why he wants to be Arizona's coach.

"I, Antoine Cason, former first-round pick and Thorpe Award winner, want to be the future head coach of the University of Arizona Wildcats," he wrote.
