Kevin Sumlin or Herm Edwards: Arizona or ASU make better college football coaching hire?

The University of Arizona hired Kevin Sumlin as their new football coach on Sunday night, ending a couple weeks of drama after the unexpected firing of Rich Rodriguez.

Social media discussion immediately turned to the ASU vs. Arizona rivalry and who made the better hire.

ASU replaced coach Todd Graham with Herm Edwards in early December. Many ASU fans had wanted the Sun Devils to go with Sumlin as their new head coach.

Much of the talk on Twitter seems to favor Arizona and Sumlin over Arizona State's selection of Edwards:

I guess I shouldn’t be so disappointed that our rivals the wildcats hired the guy I think ASU should have hired, Kevin Sumlin.
