ASU football head coach Herm Edwards was brought in with the hopes of holding on to both coordinators.
So much for that.
After Phil Bennett announced Wednesday he will not return to Arizona State next season, offensive coordinator Billy Napier was hired Friday as the new head coach of Louisiana-Lafayette.
2018 will be Arizona State’s fourth offensive coordinator in four years.
Napier, who signed on to a new contract earning a promotion to associate head coach Dec. 5, led the Sun Devils to a sixth-place ranking in the Pac-12 in total offense averaging 427.
