JONESBORO -- Malcolm Kelly's departure forced change.
ASU Coach Blake Anderson hired Kelly on Jan. 9. Pegged as the new Red Wolves' wide receiver coach, Kelly left ASU in late February for the same job at Texas Christian University.
"We thought Malcolm Kelly was going to be our wideouts coach," Anderson said. "When he left, then it became another conversation, like, 'What do we do?'"
From there, Anderson all but fully delegated filling the offensive staff to first-year offensive coordinator Keith Heckendorf.
Heckendorf will call plays and has as much power as any ASU offensive coordinator under Anderson since 2014-15 offensive coordinator Walt Bell, the current Massachusetts head coach.
