UA legend Chuck Cecil officially named Arizona’s new defensive backs coach

The Arizona Wildcats officially added another UA legend to their coaching staff Thursday, naming former All-American safety Chuck Cecil as their defensive backs coach.

The announcement came hours after fellow former All-American Ricky Hunley was hired as the defensive line coach, as it’s clear new head coach Jedd Fisch made it a priority to hire some coaches with UA ties.

Unlike Hunley, Cecil has actually been in the Arizona program the last four years as an analyst except for late in the 2019 season when he was briefly the interim defensive coordinator.
