Moore: Retaining Phil Bennett should be Herm Edwards' top priority

Related Topics: Herm Edwards

Herm Edwards is turning his attention fully to Sun Devil football now that his TV duties have wrapped up, and I’m predicting one of his first moves will be to announce plans to keep defensive coordinator Phil Bennett in position.

Bennett hasn’t met with Edwards since the hiring was announced because of a scheduling problem.

One of Bennett’s former players, linebacker Dat Nguyen, was being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in New York while Edwards was in Tempe.

Bennett said in a news conference Friday that he and Edwards have spoken by phone and that they’ll visit Saturday after practice.
