Overview

  • Dillingham unleashed a 68-second public tirade after day two of fall camp, calling the session “a good practice for a bad team” and singling out too many drops as a symptom of lost passion.
  • He warned players not to accept mediocrity by joking that somebody must go 5-7, 6-6 or 3-9 and stressing that complacency could derail Arizona State’s momentum.
  • The coach reiterated his preference for the underdog role, saying positive praise feels uncomfortable and that external doubt fuels the team’s drive.
  • On day three of camp, ASU’s offense showed sharper tempo and featured breakout performances from transfer receiver Jaren Hamilton alongside strong work from Sam Leavitt.
  • Off the field, Dillingham is leading fundraising for a new indoor practice and tailgate facility near Mountain America Stadium to support the program’s long-term growth.
