First the AD hires his friend Herm Edwards who goes on to violate one ncaa rule after another
Then last year when it becomes clear that he acted unethically and that the ncaa would punish asu, the AD pays him the rest of his contract - $4.4MM - when he could have easily fired Edwards for cause
And just a few days ago, the AD self imposed a bowl ban. Could have done that last year but waited until the day before the season began to announce the self imposed ban.
The AD cares far more about his buddy Herm, than he does for the current coach, players, or fans.
Asu is a huge school with low admission standards, smokeshow coeds, and is in a nice city. How it's not like Ohio State football wise is a mystery, until you realize the athletic department is run by buffoons.
Even with a stronger A.D., you don't REALLY think ASU football could ever be like Ohio State, do you?
ASU should have hired Prime before/ instead of Dilly. Prime would load up on top recruits to ASU. Coeds, Admissions, weather. Hire some assistants that can coach.
I don't know if Tempe is what I would call nice, it's fun, but not nice. I have some rentals right in the middle of the fun off of Mill. They are easy to rent out, just don't look at them with a blacklight on. I know that everyone in Tempe says they are just down the street from Scottsdale, but it is a looooong F'ing street.
