Al Simmons is as good a defensive backfield coach as I've been around in my career. His results will be immediate at ASU. He's an exceptional coach and an exceptional person. He taught me a lot about football while coaching together with the San Francisco 49ers. I was fortunate enough to get him last year as a graduate assistant at San Jose State while he was still in the employ of the 49ers. His Pacific-10 Conference and state of California roots run deep and he will help the ASU program in many ways.
More Quotes from Dick Tomey:
I think he's as good a lineman as there is in college football. He plays so hard, consistently. I think an awful lot of Larry and he can do anything he wants in football. I just know there's not an overabundance of guys that play as hard as he does and have the athleticism and want-to that he does.Dick Tomey
We played poorly the last third of the second quarter. In the second half, we got it to 10 points and had an opportunity to get back (or win) the football game.

The group is an affirmation that our program is moving in the right direction. It's all part of building a program. It's also a reflection of the NCAA rules that make it more difficult for junior college players to come in and be immediately eligible. We're very pleased with their commitment to academic success and their position flexibility.

We wanted to set a firm foundation so we wouldn't be on a two-year track. And the truth is the NCAA rules have changed dramatically in the past 15 years so it's difficult to get JC guys in and ready to go.
