Reports out of Albuquerque indicate that Ron West, who was
recently hired to Bob Davie’s staff at New Mexico, will
leave the Lobos to become Todd Graham’s co-defensive
coordinator at Arizona State.
West was the outside linebackers coach at Illinois under Ron
Zook from 2010 to 2011, but became available when Zook was
fired following the season.
Prior to that, West served as the co-defensive
coordinator/linebackers coach at Tulsa under Graham in 2009.
He’s also coached at West Alabama, North Texas, Texas Tech,
Louisiana-Lafayette, Baylor, Tulane and Clemson during his
college coaching career, which has spanned 32 seasons.
“Coach West made a decision he felt was best for his family,
and we wish him the best of luck in the future,” Davie said
in a statement.
