New Arizona State coach Herm Edwards will have offensive continuity during his first year in the desert.
The Sun Devils on Tuesday announced a promotion for offensive coordinator Billy Napier. They also announced that receivers coach Rob Likens, running backs coach John Simon and offensive line Rob Sale will be retained in their current roles.
In addition to his current role, Napier, 38, takes on the title of associate head coach. In his first ASU season, Napier impressed a lot of people inside ASU's athletic department, including Vice President of Athletics Ray Anderson.
Per a source, this announcement does not mean that no defensive assistants will be retained.
