Rod Smith, Calvin Magee likely leaving Arizona’s coaching staff

The Arizona Wildcats’ coaching staff will look much different under new head coach Kevin Sumlin.

Arizona co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Rod Smith and associate head coach/co-offensive coordinator Calvin Magee are likely leaving the program, reports Football Scoop.

Smith is a “very strong candidate” to become Lovie Smith’s offensive coordinator at Illinois, per the report, while Magee is a “strong candidate” to become offensive coordinator at New Mexico.

Whether they land those jobs or not, it does not look like they will be retained by Sumlin either way.

Smith and Magee were both on Rich Rodriguez’s staff throughout his entire tenure at Arizona.
