How was Rich Rodriguez able to lure a Boise State alum away from the Broncos like this?
The Arizona Wildcats are bringing in Boise State Broncos defensive coordinator Marcel Yates in 2016 after dismissing Jeff Casteel.
It may seem pretty straight forward for a coach to jump from the Mountain West to the Pac-12, as was the case with San Jose State's Donte Williams, who is now the Arizona corners coach. But in Yates' case, he was at the place he played college football, and had spent nearly half his life there.
But the Arizona Desert Swarm defense of the 1990's may have been the reason Yates and his family are moving to Tucson.
