Arizona to hire former Washington State cornerbacks coach John Richardson, per report

Jedd Fisch said Arizona signed a “5-star coach” last week when it announced former assistant Duane Akina was joining the staff as a defensive analyst. But there was still the business of filling the vacant cornerbacks position to tend to.

Not any more.

Zach Barnett of FootballScoop.com is reporting the Wildcats are set to hire John Richardson, who spent the past three seasons as Washington State’s CBs coach and assistant head coach.

Richardson would replace Dewayne Walker, who last month announced his departure from the UA staff after two seasons.
