OK...I am in agreement that what Dickert did with the Cougars is amazing, but Herm Edwards?

 

 

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.

It is the right time for the recruits, so they don't get a bait and switch.

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.

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?

U can bet other teams are saying that to their recruits

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.
