I would imagine he was their first choice, anyway. If for no other reason than to maintain some semblance of continuity.

If Napier takes that job, the hiring of Herm Edwards by ASU looks even worse. He was hired to be more of a GM type and let Napier and the DC stay on staff.

I was wondering if his results this year would warrant a look by Saban if he chose to make a change.

Time will tell, but not sure the Herm Edwards hire will end well for either party.

What makes you think that?

Was it the fact he stayed in Bristol to work at ESPN for a week after he was hired?

Or the fact he hasn't coached a game in 10 years?

Or that he hasn't recruited players in almost 30 years?

Or was it that he didn't even know the mascot at his introductory press conference?

Nice. Herm is so far in over his head but he does play to win the game.

Not to mention the reason they brought in Herm was because they wanted him to play some weird "CEO" role in a new power structure while retaining the OC and DC. Meanwhile Napier has taken a HC gig and the DC has said he's leaving the program for "personal reasons" (what are the odds his personal reasons involve personally not wanting to coach under Edwards.)

So this whole charade was to keep two coordinators who are now gone -- ASU has lost 7 commitments since Graham was fired (including 3 since Edwards was hired) including their only 4 star.

This is going to end up being the worst Power 5 coaching hire in a generation. I'm willing to bet both sides already regret it.

Anytime there is a HC changes, its expected that kids will decommited from the school. Look at Tennessee. So you really cant use that argument.

It's a little different when you've added no recruits, the new HC hasn't recruited since 1989 and the two coordinators you were counting on have hightailed it out of town...
