Kenny Dillingham Continues To Motivate Arizona State Roster

Kenny Dillingham has been nothing short of an incredible representative of the Arizona State football program since becoming head coach in November of 2022.

The third-year head coach has built a culture that is predicated on working hard, holding each other accountable, having fun, and building a sense of family.

Players and recruits alike have bought fully into what the 35 year old has sold - even coaches have, as Dillingham has been massively successful when it comes to retaining his staff.

All of these steps have lead to Arizona State winning the Big 12 conference, nearly securing a victory in the College Football Playoff, and the program returning 17 starting players in 2025 in what could be another season of incredible success.

Dillingham continues to keep things in perspective and to be completely honest through it all.

The ASU alum took to X earlier in the week to drop some wisdom surrounding the upcoming season:

“Set goals so bold they make people question your sanity. Then work relentlessly until the impossible becomes achievable—and when it does, raise the bar again. Complacency is for losers.”

This post was responded to by players such as Xavion Alford - what's being pushed is still being subscribed to amongst the locker room, that much is clear.

The Sun Devils receiving Big 12 championship rings on Friday proved to be another example of Dillingham creating motivation over a sense of complacency - as the head man alluded to the fact that only Oklahoma has repeated as champions of the conference in the nearly 30 years of existence for the conference.
