The Arizona Wildcats officially have a new man in charge on defense. Paul Rhoads, former Iowa State head coach and defensive coordinator at numerous schools, will take over for the fired Marcel Yates.
Rhoads has a lot of history coaching defenses, and will need every bit of that experience to turn around one of the worst defenses in the Power 5.
Here are some highlights from Rhoads’ previous jobs.
Undoubtedly, Rhoads did his best coaching work at his first coordinator gig. Rhoads led the Panthers defense for eight seasons under Walt Harris and Dave Wannstedt.
