Former ASU football coach Todd Graham as the coach of the Arizona Wildcats? You are kidding, right?

The question started being asked on social media soon as news broke Tuesday night that Rich Rodriguez had been fired as the Arizona football coach.

How about Todd Graham as his successor in Tucson?

No, really.

People have started speculating about the former ASU football coach moving south to coach the Wildcats.

It would be a long shot. The Arizona Daily Star didn't list Graham on its list of potential candidates for the job.

Granted, much of the speculation was in jest, but the idea gained some traction late Tuesday and early Wednesday.
