Herm Edwards wasn’t a popular hiring at ASU and was widely mocked, but for the most part he’s done an okay job. Last year ended in disaster but ASU still won eight games. They’ve gone 25-18 under Herm. But since the end of last season they’ve lost the following key players to the transfer portal: Jayden Daniels (LSU), Eric Gentry (USC), Jermayne Lole (Louisville), Ricky Pearsall (Florida) and LV Bunkley-Shelton (Oklahoma).
There’s a big cloud hanging over Tempe as they await an NCAA punishment for recruiting violations. Herm Edwards had to replace five assistant coaches (including both coordinators) due to their involvement in the violations.
