utenation Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Didn’t see that coming after finishing 7-5 and beating their rival. I thought he righted a very shaky ship from the start of the season. A 6-3 conference record is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he righted a very shaky ship from the start of the season. A 6-3 conference record is pretty good. This is a very unpopular decision for much of the fanbase, myself included. The last two season were rough, and some of that falls on Graham for sure. But this season was one in which the team started 1-2 in OOC play and steadily progressed all season with wins over a then top 5 UW, an Oregon team ASU hadn't beaten in a decade, and road win at Utah right after the win over UW. And as mentioned, he went 4-2 against Arizona. The names rumored to be in play are disappointing, to say the least. ASU is not a blue blood program. It will take years, if not decades to build it up. Continuing the cycle of firing a coach every 5-6 years does nothing for that build. It takes time for any coach just to figure out the inherent issues with ASU.

utenation Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 I certainly think the program is much better than how Erickson left it. I also think the loss of Mike Norvell took a minute to recover from. If I recall, Todd really improved the classroom attendance and performance too.

utenation Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Well, maybe ASU can lure away Saban since they seem to think they have such high standards in Tempe Arizona? http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/21569698/arizona-state-sun-devils-fire-coach-todd-graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAC MAN Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I don't get it either about ASU firing that coach despite a 6-3 record especially after those losing seasons. Good luck ASU getting a new coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
