Oregon offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham is headed to his alma mater.<\/p>\n
Dillingham, 32, is finalizing a deal to become the next head coach at Arizona State, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n
The first-year Ducks offensive play-caller is earning $1 million in the first of a three-year contract. His buyout of 25% of his salary is waived if he becomes an FBS head coach.<\/p>\n
A semifinalist for the Broyles Award, Dillingham had No. 9 Oregon (9-3, 7-2 Pac-12) ranked in the top 20 nationally in total offense (511.2 yards per game, 3rd), scoring (40.2 points, 4th), rushing (222.9 ypg., 12th) and passing (288.3 ypg., 18th) entering Saturday’s regular season finale against No. 21 Oregon State. The Ducks gained 470 yards in the 38-34 loss to the Beavers at Reser Stadium.<\/p>\n
A graduate of Arizona State who is from Phoenix, Dillingham was offensive coordinator at Chaparral High School (Arizona) in 2013 and coached quarterbacks there from 2007-12. He began coaching in college as an offensive assistant at ASU in 2014-15 for then-offensive coordinator Mike Norvell, who he served as offensive coordinator for at Memphis and Florida State.<\/p>\n
Sports Illustrated first reported ASU’s impending hire of Dillingham, who will be the youngest Power Five head coach. He was considered a lead candidate for the job since Herm Edwards was fired three games into the season.<\/p>\n
It’s not immediately clear whether Dillingham will still coach at Oregon in the postseason.<\/p>\n
