Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted November 28, 2021 OK...I am in agreement that what Dickert did with the Cougars is amazing, but Herm Edwards? Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck1984 No. 2 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Players seem to like Herm. Letting him go before early signing in December risks jumps to the portal and recruiting flips. Not the right time to make the change. And is it better for ASU to let Herm stand in front of the NCAA firing squad when they announce penalties for recruiting mistakes? Herm may be more forgivable in person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should the AD be more concerned with keeping early signees than a signed player’s feelings about a coaching change? Certainly risks to both, but players know that coaches can leave for any reason after signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make like him but they play like undisciplined fools under Herm's 'leadership.' Fire Herm after an OK season and it may be seen as coping to the NCAA violations?

deschutesduck No. 7 Share Posted November 28, 2021 ASU only has 5 committed recruits for 22 right now and they're ranked last in the PAC-12, 93rd nationally. I imagine it's hard to recruit when everyone assumes there will be some sort of sanctions coming. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
