Arizona State is finalizing a deal to make Oregon offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham the school’s next coach, sources told ESPN on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Dillingham is a 2012 graduate of Arizona State and a native of Arizona. He’s a former high school coach in the state and started his college career at Arizona State as an offensive assistant in 2014.<\/p>\n
Dillingham, 32, will become the youngest coach in the Power Five. He replaces Herm Edwards, who was fired in September after a loss to Eastern Michigan and leaves a program that went 3-9 after massive losses in the transfer portal and is in throes of a major NCAA investigation.<\/p>\n
Dillingham has worked as the offensive coordinator at Memphis, Auburn and Florida State, working for Mike Norvell and Gus Malzahn. He’s done his best work this year under first-year coach Dan Lanning, who came from the defensive side of the ball.<\/p>\n
The Ducks have a top-5 scoring offense and Dillingham has helped rejuvenate the career of quarterback Bo Nix, who has been one of the best players in college football after an uneven career at Auburn.<\/p>\n
