LAFAYETTE — Before he even went through a practice as wide receivers coach for the Louisiana-Lafayette football team, John Simon accepted an opportunity to coach at Arizona State, multiple outlets reported Sunday.
Ragin’ Cajuns coach Mark Hudspeth declined comment through a team spokesman.
The Cajuns announced Feb. 5 that they had hired Simon, with former receivers coach Jorge Munoz ascending to offensive coordinator.
Hudspeth said earlier this offseason that he wanted to reimagine his team’s offensive philosophy after a down season in 2015. With spring practice set to begin March 7, the Cajuns now have a hole to plug on their staff.
