Arizona State hires Herm to be CEO and keep staff; both coordinators have left

He is one of my favorite sports personalities on ESPN. I will miss his passion when talking about the game.
The reality - it is Arizona State. It wasn't going to end well anyway. But because it is ASU, it won't tarnish his reputation.
I don't know him and this is not personal, but it says a GREAT deal about Arizona State. Evidently (from his background) they just want a HC, and any old HC will do. I doubt ASU will be contending any time soon.
Yeah seems like the AD decided that he liked the staff but hated the head coach and tried to replace the head coach with a guy he liked while keeping the staff. Completely botched it. Doesn't understand how any hierarchical operation works. Those guys were there to work for their HC and they bugged out when it got uncertain.
Herm Edwards is a quality individual with enough "on the ball" to run an NFL team.
And he's at Arizona State - not Knebraska or Notre Dame or some other place with sky-high expectations.
If it takes him a year or two - well, it took Nick Saban a year.... And no one there is realistically expecting him to win any Pac-12 Titles.
He will be fine. And if he can win 60% of his games, he will be the best coach they'd had since the Mid-80's.
Agreed. I think if given some time, Herm could get them to an 8-9 win/year team on average, with some surprise years of a 10 win season and maybe a few down years with 6-7 wins. It's Arizona St, not Alabama. The pressure to win is several notches down from the more elite P5 programs. Another thing going for him is he plays in the PAC 12. He actually has a realistic shot at competing.
Exactly...I have listened to him for several years on ESPN and he is first class all the way. I just hope he hires top notch coordinators and gives them the freedom to do their thing. He will certainly run the program in an excellent fashion.
But he has Blake Barnett on the QB roster! Only 20% of his passes in 2017 fell incomplete. I mean, sure, he was 3 of 5 for 40 yards, no TDs and one INT, but you can see the potential...

Herm Edwards will do fine . He's a smart guy and a professional motivational speaker . You think he can't recruit ? He's driving distance from California representing a beautiful campus in a bustling city. Oh , by the way , the co-eds are hot . I think he will do great . At least I hope so !
