Dillingham worked as an assistant under Todd Graham in 2014 for ASU, before making stops at the Memphis, Auburn, Florida State, and most recently Oregon. He has long-running roots in the Phoenix metro area as well. Prior to attending and graduating from Arizona State, Dillingham played football at local Chaparral High School in Scottsdale in the mid-2000s.
At Oregon, Dillingham oversaw an explosive offense that for the most part knifed through Pac-12 defenses. The Ducks entered the final week of the regular season with the No. 12 scoring offense in the nation (37.2 ppg) and the fourth-highest total in yards per game (501.9).
A new era will begin soon for Arizona State football, the architect of that era will be the youngest coach in the Power Five at just 32 years old. A bright, young offensive mind who could usher in a refreshing philosophy, and maybe be the one who awakes that sleeping giant in Tempe.
More updates will come in the next 24 hours.
