USC has hired Todd Orlando as its new defensive coordinator, the school announced Friday.
"We are excited to have Todd join our Trojan football program," said USC head coach Todd Helton. "He is an experienced and successful defensive coordinator who has made an impact everywhere he has coached. He brings a passion, energy, toughness and discipline to his coaching and those characteristics were evident in our discussions."
Yahoo Sports' Bruce Feldman reported earlier this week that the Trojans were working on a deal with Orlando.
Orlando, 48, moves to the Trojans after recently joining Texas Tech's staff as its new assistant head coach and linebackers coach in early January.
