Back in late November when Athletic Director Ray Anderson announced Todd Graham’s firing and shared his vision for the future of Sun Devil football with media members, he mentioned that bringing in a head coach that was willing to work with the current coordinators was a big priority.
Offensive Coordinator Billy Napier’s name was mentioned multiple times by Anderson when talking about what he thought had worked under Todd Graham, but there was very few, if any, mentions of defensive coordinator Phil Bennett.
Head coach Herm Edwards has already announced that Billy Napier will stay on as the offensive mastermind, and as an assistant head coach.
