In an effort to continue building a highly competitive program in college football's modern era, Sun Devil athletics confirms a new three-year commitment to retain defensive coordinator Brian Ward to run ASU's nationally recognized defense.
"All levels of the organization – including the university president, athletics director, football general manager, and head coach - understand the necessity for stability at key coaching positions in this era. With so much evolution in conference realignment, NIL, the transfer portal, etc., it is more important than ever to instill and continuously develop winning culture," notes Jean Boyd, Deputy Athletic Director and Sun Devil Football's General Manager.
