Sun Devil head men's golf coach Matt Thurmond knows how to hire good assistant coaches, as he currently has four former assistant coaches serving as Division I head coaches.
At some point, another will join that list, but in the meantime, Armen Kirakossian is now the Sun Devil Associate Head Coach. Kirakossian joined Thurmond's staff as assistant coach on August 1, 2017, and has helped lead ASU to seven team wins.
"Armen is really a tremendous coach. He can do anything and he can do it all well," notes Thurmond, who watched Kirakossian earn the Strickland Award last year given to the nation's top assistant coach.
