Bryan Carrington

things certainly and then of course no show on Thursday we'll be back at it on Friday with a pre-game show and a post-game show on Saturday seeing if Arizona State can get back in the win column against Avery Johnson and the Kansas State Wildcats back at Mountain America Stadium Sharon kicking things off with a question.

Who was the defensive coach that they moved up and isn't coaching the positions anymore? Am I remembering that right? I believe you are referring to Brian Carrington.

Brian Carrington previously was Arizona State's corners coach, working with Keith Abney, Javen Robinson, Rodney Bimmage.

last season and several years, um, since he's been in Tempe, he got a promotion to defensive passing game coordinator and assistant head coach or associate head coach.

So his role is different than it was in previous years.

Um, they've got a couple of guys on their defensive staff I thought were interesting to point out.

One, Brian Carrington, the author of the Cactus Movement, who originated from TCU when that happened, when he was trying to make those negative disparaging comments about why somebody would go to Texas Tech and cap their NIL earning potential, and then ironically moved even more into the desert.

Uh, he is their assistant head coach and defensive passing game coordinator.

Still there.

He was the depth in the linebacking room.

And we heard Brian Warder, B- Brian Carrington, I should say, uh, associate head coach, talk about wanting to mix things up defensively.

Maybe less linebacker looks and more adding in an extra safety, adding in an extra member of the secondary to try and get some speed, some athleticism.

And even despite having more looks with that, ASU's still getting burnt in the secondary.

It's an athletic defense.

We had Brian Carrington in over the summer, the newly elevated associate head coach.

He was the DB's coach a year ago.

And I asked him just about the different types of players they got.
