playtowinthegame Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Herm Edwards has spent 128 games in the NFL as a head coach for the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs. Edwards has no intention of adding to that total at any point in the future. Edwards, currently the head coach at Arizona State University, made his return to coaching two years ago after spending nearly a decade working as an analyst for ESPN. Edwards has had a solid start to his coaching resurgence as the Sun Devils have posted winning seasons in each of his two years in Tempe. But Edwards isn’t interested in moving back to the professional ranks. He intends to finish his career right where he’s at now. “No, this is it,” Edwards said to Colin Cowherd on Fox Sports Radio. “This is my last stand right here. I’m going to build a program and hopefully, we can win the Pac-12, win a Rose Bowl and then hand it over to somebody else. That’s my goal.” Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll found success in returning to the NFL after a stint in college at USC. Jim Harbaugh made a successful transition from Stanford to the San Francisco 49ers for four years before being let go by the 49ers and heading to Michigan. Kliff Kingsbury is currently attempting to make the jump after being a head coach at Texas Tech and now running the Arizona Cardinals. But when it comes to Edwards, he’s had his fill of the pro game and is more than happy to tackle the demands of recruiting and the challenges ahead at Arizona State. “That’s where it’s really fun, right? Where you’re talking to young people, you meet their parents and guardians of these young men because you find out a lot about the families. A lot of those homes are like my my home. I look at them like ‘hey, I get it. I understand this.'” The Sun Devils went 7-6 in Edwards’ first season in 2018 and improved to an 8-5 record last year with a win in the Sun Bowl against Florida State. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuscanyTile2 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Herm's the best! He's actually done a good job at ASU so far and I definitely hope he wins a Rose Bowl. It would be sad to see him retire though. Having said that, I'm very happy he's no longer HC of the NYJ and I still can't believe KC traded for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jetstream23 Posted April 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2020 He's almost the perfect coach for college. He was never an elite X's and O's guy but he's certainly good enough for college football in that regard. His biggest strengths are in managing players, communicating and recruiting. He's a good man with a good philosophy on life and that resonates with parents when he sits in their living rooms and says, "Send your kid to ASU. Trust me, he'll grow as a player and a person while he's with me. He'll graduate and leave campus as a well-rounded young man. I'll take care of him." I live about 10 miles from ASU and there was a lot of buzz when Herm came to town. He's done well. And, his sales job doesn't just work on parents, it works on players as well because many of them know him as a former NFL head coach and more recently, an ESPN analyst. So, kids want to get some insight on how they might get to the next level and what it takes to break into pro sports. Herm can be a mentor for that. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Herm is a perfect college coach, like what other posters have said. He can recruit for his school, he comes off as a good guy who will care about the kids, and try to help teach them a bit about life. He is not a super high level football strategist. I wish him all the best, while being glad he isn't the HC of the Jets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxgreen Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I'm glad Herm is in the Pac-12. League absolutely sucks right now. And with Oregon and Arizona State sniping at USC's recruiting base it makes things quite fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony The Wiz Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Herm was the Right Choice at Arizona St. and a perfect college coach. You see the love he has for these young men.

Herm is not really a pro coach but he does seem like he's turned out to be a pretty good fit for college (though I didn't initially think he would be). He's incredibly easy to root for though. I wish him nothing but success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid negotiating and the Jets got bent over, and allowed it to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
