Arizona State Sun Devils defensive coordinator, Phil Bennett, will leave ASU, according to John Gambadoro of ArizonaSports.com and Jude LaCava of FOX 10, who tweeted the reports on Tuesday afternoon.

Have heard from people close to program that Phil Bennett will not return to ASU. That the decision was not his but made by Ray Anderson and Herm Edwards. That someone with NFL experience will be coming in.
