As expected, Colorado State linebackers coach Scott Brown has taken a job as defensive line coach at Arizona State.
Both coaches announced the move today.
“This is a positive for Scott,” said CSU coach Steve Fairchild in a statement.
Farichild added that he expects a lot of interest in the vacancy and the goal is to have another coach in play in time for the start of spring ball in late March.
Brown was the defensive line coach at CSU for the past three seasons, moving over to linebackers coach during a recent staff reshuffling. He was at Duke for 12 years before coming to CSU.
Brown replaces Grady Stretz, who resigned to take an NFL coaching position.
In his statement that appeared in , Arizona State coach Dennis Erickson said: “Our defensive linemen who met with Scott while he was on his interview were very impressed with his style and passion for the game. They were ready to play immediately.”
Erickson also emphasized Brown’s recruiting ties to the entire state of Texas.
