Arizona DL coach Stan Eggen on reuniting with Paul Rhoads, coaching during a pandemic and recruiting Von Miller

Editor’s note: Over the next two weeks, the Star will profile the four new Arizona football assistants who haven’t met with the local media. Today: defensive line coach Stan Eggen.

Stan Eggen has reached the point in his coaching career where working with “the right people” is the most important consideration.

It’s no secret that the Arizona Wildcats are rebuilding. They’re 9-15 in two seasons under Kevin Sumlin, who made reconstructing the UA defensive staff his No. 1 offseason project.

Sumlin’s first step came in December, when he hired defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads. Sumlin worked with Rhoads to assemble the rest of the staff.
