The Arizona Cardinals are expected to hire Zac Etheridge as the team’s new cornerbacks coach, according to @AdamSchefter of ESPN. Etheridge makes the jump to the NFL coaching ranks following his most recent tenure as the defensive pass game coordinator at the University of Miami.
Etheridge is widely recognized for his collegiate playing career at Auburn University, where he served as a safety and team captain for the Tigers' 2010 national championship team. Since transitioning to coaching, he has built a reputation as a rising defensive mind, specifically within the secondary.
The move marks a key addition to the Cardinals defensive staff. Etheridge will be tasked with overseeing a cornerback group that remains a focal point of development for the franchise. The hiring brings a mix of championship-level playing experience and high-level collegiate coaching expertise to the Arizona sidelines.
