If the rumors turned to unofficial reports become official on Friday, the Arizona State Sun Devils will have named their official replacement for Todd Graham. The team’s new head football coach will be Herm Edwards, longtime NFL cornerback turned head coach, including a three-year stint with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Edwards hasn’t coached anything more than his kids in the last decade which makes the hire a major surprise, since Edwards seems to have settled in well into his TV gigs as an analyst. The longer a player is away from the game and in the studio, the less likely it seems that the person or coach will ever return to the sidelines.
