Former Arizona State assistant Robert Rodriguez won’t have to move far for his new job. Rodriguez will reportedly be part of the Arizona Cardinals coaching staff.

Rodriguez will coach outside linebackers for the Cardinals, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Rodriguez was on ASU’s staff the past 3 seasons as the Sun Devils’ defensive line coach. He was hired by former head coach Herm Edwards in 2020 and remained through the 2022 season. In November, Rodriguez tweeted that he would be looking for another opportunity as new coach Kenny Dillingham opted to go in a new direction:

Full of Gratitude to Sun Devil Nation for these past 3 Years.
We have loved making this our Home and making tremendous Friends

Coach Dillingham has been 1st Class and we wish him the absolute best.

To our Players, We Love y’all

One Last time from Team Rodriguez..

Rodriguez, 41, has NFL familiarity as a former assistant with the Minnesota Vikings from 2015-to-2019.
