Cardinals Hire New Coach

The Arizona Cardinals have announced the hire of DJ Gillins to their staff via the Bill Bidwill Coaching Fellowship.

More on Gillins' background from the Cardinals' media relations team:

"Gillins is back with the Cardinals after spending training camp with the team last year as part of the Bill Walsh Coaching Fellowship. He worked as the running backs coach at Stony Brook in 2024 after coaching wide receivers for two seasons (2022-23) at Long Island University. Gillins played quarterback and wide receiver collegiately at the Wisconsin (2014-15), Pearl River CC (2016), SMU (2017) and University of Texas-San Antonio (2018). Following his playing career, the 29-year old Gillins worked as a graduate assistant at Utah State (2019), Arkansas (2019-20) and Utah (2021)."

Gillins is just the latest Cardinals coach to come through the program, as the recently promoted Connor Senger and Blaine Gautier also participated.
