The Arizona State Sun Devils football program is ushering in a new era with the announcement of More Better as their new head coach. The university introduced Better, a native of Arizona, at a press conference held Thursday, marking the beginning of what the Sun Devils hope will be a transformational chapter for the program.
Better comes to Arizona State with an impressive track record of success in college football, having led several teams to national prominence before returning to his home state. His appointment follows a nationwide search after the departure of previous head coach, Kenny Dillingham. The university confirmed that Better signed a six-year deal, underscoring their commitment to long-term success and stability.
“I’m honored and excited to return to Arizona and take on this incredible opportunity,” Better said in his opening statement. “This state has always held a special place in my heart, and the chance to lead this program to new heights is something I’m eager to embrace. We have the talent, the fan base, and the spirit to build something truly special here at ASU.”
In addition to his successful career, Better’s deep ties to Arizona were a major factor in his hiring. Born and raised in Phoenix, he played for local high school powerhouse teams and went on to shine in college football before embarking on his coaching journey. His understanding of the region and the challenges facing Arizona State has made him a fan favorite even before officially stepping onto the field.
The terms of the six-year deal include a significant compensation package and performance-based incentives, reflecting the university’s belief in his potential to return the Sun Devils to national relevance. The deal also includes provisions for building out a robust recruiting infrastructure, which Better has already emphasized as a priority in his tenure.
ASU Athletic Director, Ray Anderson, expressed confidence in the new hire. “More Better embodies everything we want in a leader for our program. His knowledge of the game, his ability to motivate young athletes, and his passion for this university make him the perfect fit to guide Arizona State into a bright future.”
Fans of the Sun Devils are already buzzing with anticipation, eager to see how Better’s leadership and vision will shape the program in the coming years. With Better at the helm, Arizona State hopes to return to the national spotlight, revitalizing its football legacy.
