An independent program that has yet to post a winning season at the Division I level is betting on not one but two Arizona Wildcats coaches to help get things going.
UMass has hired former UA linebackers coach Keith Dudzinski to be its defensive coordinator, making him the second Wildcat assistant to take a gig in Amherst, Mass. in the past month. The other is Don Brown, who was Arizona’s defensive coordinator this past season and is now the Minutemen’s head coach.
Dudzinski coached linebackers and special teams for the Wildcats, joining Jedd Fisch’s first staff at the UA as an unofficial package deal with Brown.
