Who do you want to be ASU's next football coach?

This would be pretty cool on a personal level. Derek and I were co-captains of the 1986-87 Camelback High School Spartan football team.

I’ve followed his career as a result. He was always a very driven young man. Proud of his accomplishments.

That is very cool!

I heard clips on the radio this afternoon of Ray Anderson basically mandating the next coach keeps the coordinators.

Not good. No big time coach would do that.

The only reason I can think of is they are trying to hold onto their recruiting class.

My concern (and I think most people) is they could easily hire someone that does worse than Graham!!

Graham has compiled the best ASU head coach record in the last thirty years! The last coach with a better winning percentage than Graham, was John Cooper (1985-87).

This thought has passed through my mind as well.

They are ranked 49th in this year's recruiting classes now. The only real reason he gave is that he did not want Manny Wilkins to have a 4th OC in four years. But that has to be the new coaches call.

Herm Edwards next coach? Doubt it. But would be interesting!

Doug Haller writes: "Edwards, 63, is an outside-the-box candidate, but in some ways he makes sense. For one, he has a history with Anderson, who was his agent during his NFL head-coaching days. Also, he seems to fit the "CEO" coach Anderson described in Sunday's news conference. Someone who would be OK with retaining ASU's offensive and defensive coordinators. The drawbacks, of course, are obvious: Edwards hasn't coached since 2008 and he hasn't been in the college game since 1989."

That would be a disaster

The idea is intriguing. Herm has the charisma and NFL pedigree to lure recruits, but he's never had to recruit before...hasn't coached in a century...and would probably hate dealing with immature college kids. The whole retention of the coordinators is baffling to me...I don't get that at all.

Herm Edwards hasn't had to recruit since the 80s. I don't see him doing much better than Graham on that front.

I believe if Hue Jackson or Marvin Lewis were available they would be considered the next head coach at ASU.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Seems like all these suggestions are NFL guys...which makes sense given Anderson's resume. How does that translate to college, though? The track record for NFL coaches going to college isn't that spectacular...

They might not even have to wait for the Bengals to lose the wild card game this year.

I think there would have to be some kind of announcement if this were the case.

It makes sense though, in this type of scenario, for ASU to keep their assistant coaches.

I’m told that #ASU brass is getting a lot of input from the Cardinals & other NFL folks with this head coaching search.

ESPN analyst Herm Edwards will be interviewing for the Arizona State head coaching job this weekend, he confirmed.

This move is in line (kinda sorta) with the #ASU AD’s notion of keeping both coordinators, which is what we’ve heard a lot about w/ the NFL angle the past 36 hrs here.

 

[GatorAZ]

They should've kept TG if that's the best they can do. He's 63 and hasn't coached in ten years.

If Herman Edwards becomes the next Arizona State head football coach he would be the first African-American head coach with ASU football.

I am intrigued. His attitude would probably play well with college players. I like him better than Sumlin

Perfect for those who say it would take a miracle for ASU to become a national power.

He certainly has the charisma, and will attract players with his NFL pedigree. I still don't get the angle though...is he going to hire a bunch of ex-NFL guys on his staff and tell recruits that ASU will be the best place for them to develop to make it to the next level? Interesting to see how this will play out.
