Western Illinois football head coach Charlie Fisher emerged Thursday as a candidate to become Arizona State's wide receivers coach.
Also, the Sun Devils appear close to announcing Antonio Pierce as their linebackers coach.
Sun Devil Source reported that Fisher is expected to be hired and that Pierce has resigned as head coach at Long Beach Poly (Calif.) High School.
Fisher does have a connection with new ASU offensive coordinator Rob Likens. They worked together at Temple from 2000-02 when Fisher was offensive coordinator and Likens coached wide receivers.
Fisher also has coached at Richmond, Penn State, Miami (Ohio), Vanderbilt, North Carolina State, West Georgia, Lenoir-Rhyne, Mississippi and Eastern Kentucky.
