New DBs coach Greg Burns brings experience, compassion to Wildcats secondary

Editor’s note: This is the final entry in an ongoing series on the four new Arizona football assistants who haven’t met with the local media. Today: defensive backs coach Greg Burns.

Greg Burns officially joined the Arizona Wildcats’ coaching staff on March 9. His first day in the building was supposed to be March 16.

The timing couldn’t have been stranger.

In between those dates, the coronavirus pandemic ramped up and the sports world shut down. Arizona was scheduled to resume spring practice on March 17. Instead, the final 11 practices were canceled, students were sent home and everyone has been in a holding pattern since.
