ESPN’s Pete Thamel broke that news Saturday:

Final season, Dillingham’s to begin with as the Sun Devils’ head coach, Ra’Shaad Tests served as wide collectors coach and passing amusement facilitator. And Tests had marked a one-year expansion that would take him through the 2025 season, but he cleared out for a running backs coach and right hand head coach part at Oregon this week, supplanting Carlos Locklyn (who cleared out Oregon for Ohio State).

That driven to Dillingham taking more of a hands-on part with wide recipients amid spring hone this week. But he presently incorporates a experienced coach in Ward to assist with that. It may take Ward a few time to choose up the specifics of the Sun Devils’ hostile approach, but he certainly features a assortment of encounters that ought to be valuable for the Arizona State recipients.

Taking after his playing career with Georgia and the Steelers (which included four Pro Bowl gestures and a choice as MVP of Super Bowl XL), Ward went into media work with NBC and after that CNN. (He too indeed appeared up as a zombie on The Strolling Dead.) He at that point went into coaching and official parts, serving as an hostile partner with the Steelers in 2017, as the AAF’s head of football improvement in 2019, as an hostile understudy with the Unused York Planes in 2019 and 2020, and as Florida Atlantic’s wide recipients coach in 2021. He at that point served as the head coach of the XFL’s San Antonio Brahmas final year, driving them to a 3-7 check.

But Ward left that part in December around the XFL-USFL merger, which cut the combined leagues’ groups in half. Swim Phillips, who had been coaching the contracted Houston Roughnecks, moved over to the Brahmas to supplant Ward. And presently Ward’s landed at Arizona State. It’ll be curiously to see how he does there, and where his coaching career goes from here.
