TUCSON, Ariz. – Tedy Bruschi returns to Arizona football.
The school announced on Monday that Bruschi will serve as head coach of new coach Jedd Fisch.
Bruschi was twice the American consensus and Pac-12 defensive player of the year during his four-year stint in Tucson from 1992 to 1995. He continued to play 13 NFL seasons with the New England Patriots, winning three Super Bowls before to retire in 2009.
Bruschi served as chief analyst at ESPN after retirement.
His duties in Arizona will include serving on the executive football management team and as a football staff consultant. He will also help Fisch with graduate relations, fundraising, social justice initiatives and off-campus student-sports development.
Fisch was hired last month to replace Kevin Sumlin.
