ASU Football: Sun Devils promote Donnie Henderson to defensive coordinator

The past few weeks for the Arizona State football program have been some of the most difficult to navigate in the entire history of the team.

A massive coaching exodus stemming from the ongoing NCAA investigation into recruiting infractions during the pandemic dead period culminated in the departures of the Sun Devil’s offensive coordinator Zak Hill and defensive coordinator Antonio Pierce.

Still remaining after the fallout are the two men who have overseen the program together since 2017, athletic director Ray Anderson and head coach Herm Edwards.

On Friday, in an effort to the turn the page and begin the next chapter of Sun Devil football, Edwards made his second coaching hire of the 2022 calendar year.
