New DC: Tony White

I believe 100% Herm Edwards is about family and if this guy White was straight up with Herm, I respect that honarable approach and give props to Herm. To Herm...

OK, I'll ask it--why would he make a lateral move from ASU to Syracuse?
White on what led him to leave ASU for Syracuse: "This was the first time I'd be able to go back and be close to family. I really credit everything ASU has done for me and my family. It was a tough choice but, in the end, it was a simple decision right there."
 
It sounds like White was Dino’s first choice and was able to come back to him a second time with more money. Good job by Dino and Wildhack. Being a great recruiter is another big plus. It appears we have gained some credibility on the recruiting trail with our two new coordinator hires.

Tony White enters his second season as the cornerbacks coach and defensive passing game coordinator for Sun Devil Football.

White, who coached the program's defensive backs the previous two seasons, has helped lead the Sun Devil defense to exceptional improvements in his first couple years in Tempe.

The Sun Devil defense finished the regular season 39th in scoring defense, allowing just 23.1 points per game – notables as the Sun Devils had finished 99th or worse in three consecutive seasons prior to White's arrival in Tempe. ASU has held opponents to 30 points or less in 16 of 25 games in the previous two seasons after opponents scored at least 30 in 32 of 43 games previously.

Would have been nice if he said “Ohana” instead of “family.”
