Kish has coached UA’s linebackers the last eight seasons, spending the last two as the school’s co-defensive coordinator. The Wildcats dismissed Stoops following the team’s fifth straight loss, a skid that is largely due to a defense that ranks last in the Pac-12 in run defense, total defense and scoring defense. The Wildcats rank 11th in the Pac-12 in pass defense.
