Arizona hires ex-USC assistant Greg Burns as new defensive backs coach

The Arizona Wildcats don't know when they'll be able to resume spring football, due to the global coronavirus outbreak, but when they do it will be with a full staff.

The school announced Monday the hiring of Greg Burns as defensive backs coach, filling the spot that opened when Demetrice Martin left for Colorado on March 2.

“We are obviously in a very unique time, and the importance of surrounding ourselves with men such as Greg is crucial in the development of our student-athletes on and off the field. We are fortunate to have Greg with our secondary during this time.
