ASU Insider: New coordinators make it tough to prepare

Like most coaches, Arizona State's Todd Graham spends time in the offseason studying film of conference opponents. Something that has made this recently challenging: All the new coordinators.

“That’s where the unknown is a little bit," Graham said at Pac-12 Media Days. “How’s that going to work?”

Indeed, only two conference schools – Stanford and Washington State – have not had any offseason turnover at the coordinator positions. ASU has a new offensive coordinator in Chip Lindsey. Arizona has a new defensive coordinator in Marcel Yates. UCLA lost former offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone and replaced him with running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu.
