Herm Edwards has already been approved by Arizona State Vice President for University Athletics Ray Anderson, he just needs approval from president Michael Crow.
Crow will fly back from China to speak with Edwards the weekend of Dec. 2-3.
Todd Graham wasn’t given a contract extension for the first time in his tenure after a 5-7 season in 2016, which means Anderson has pondered this for over six months. There are plenty of college or NFL coaches he could have reached out to. Anderson didn’t make up his mind days after firing Graham to bring in Edwards.
