Herm Edwards: I'm 'Well-Equipped' to Coach Arizona St. Amid Criticism of Hiring

New Arizona State head football coach Herm Edwards said Friday he is the right man for the job.

According to ESPN.com's Edward Aschoff, Edwards believes he has the ability to succeed at ASU despite whispers that he was a poor hiring: "I love the game of football too much, and I owe the game of football too much for me to take a job that I thought I was ill-equipped to handle. I'm well-equipped to handle this by all stretches of the imagination."

Edwards was hired in December after Arizona State fired previous head coach Todd Graham.
