Former Wolf Pack defensive coordinator Scott Boone will be the linebackers coach at Arizona next season, according to FootballScoop.com.
Boone came to Nevada in 2014 and helped improve the Wolf Pack's defense in each of his first two seasons but that unit backslide this year and ranked last in the FBS in run defense at nearly 300 yards allowed per game. Boone wasn't retained by new Nevada football coach Jay Norvell.
Boone and Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez have known each other since the early 1990s when Boone was an assistant coach at Wabash College, a Division III school in Crawfordsville, Ind.
