LOS ANGELES – At his first Pac-12 Media Day, Herm Edwards sat down on a small stage and shifted into television mode.
“Am I supposed to be looking at you?” the first-year Arizona State coach said to a camera man. “They got all these cameras, I don’t know who to look at.”
While he’s not sure, everyone else is set. Pretty much, the entire conference – maybe all of college football -- is watching the experiment ASU launched last December, hiring the 64-year-old Edwards, then an NFL analyst with ESPN, to replace Todd Graham.
Former Pac-12 coach and longtime analyst Rick Neuheisel on Wednesday called the Edwards hire one of the season’s three most intriguing story lines, joining LSU coach Ed Orgeron and Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray, who will leave the sport after this season to pursue professional baseball.
