No decision yet on whether Phil Bennett will continue coaching at ASU

Herm Edwards is on the road recruiting in his first full week as Arizona State football coach after meeting over the weekend with current defensive coordinator Phil Bennett.

It appears that the choice is up to Bennett as to whether he will return for a second season at ASU, and he had not made a decision as of Monday when ASU began its third week of preparations for the Sun Bowl.

Bennett did not speak to the media Monday. He said last week that he wants to continue coaching rather than retire after 30 years and is willing to stay if he and Edwards can work together.
