The final piece of UTEP’s coordinator search appears to be in place ahead of tomorrow’s official announcement.
According to multiple sources, and a report from FootballScoop.com, former Arizona defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel has been offered and accepted the same job at UTEP, and is expected to be announced as UTEP's new defensive coordinator tomorrow.
The announcement of a full-time special teams coordinator will also be unveiled as Don Yanowsky is expected to take over that role, a new coaching position on UTEP's staff.
Casteel returns to UTEP after a decade long stint at West Virginia as a defensive line coach, linebackers coach, and defensive coordinator from 2001-2011.
