Herm Edwards Fired:
It was an interesting idea.Forgetting for a moment that Arizona State had then-offensive coordinator Billy Napier there for the taking – but he left for Louisiana to cut his teeth as a head coach – the call of Herm Edwards to take over the head coaching job was a bold move.
He’s a pro head coach, he’s got limitless energy, and he seemed like his style, personality, and skills would turn Arizona State into something special.
In a perfect world, ASU was hoping to catch the Pete Carroll-lighting-in-a-bottle that USC captured once upon a time.

3. Bryan Harsin, Auburn
Up Next: MissouriA disappointing 6-7 first season – even though it was supposed to be a rebuilding year – absolutely no grace period allowed whatsoever, and a collapse late when the Tigers had Alabama dead and almost buried started the problem. A strange offseason made things worse.
He started 2-0 this year, but there was some grousing about the 24-16 win over San Jose State. And the Penn State rolled into town and left with a 41-16 victory in a dominant performance.
This is a must-win week for Harsin – and potentially for Missouri head coach Eliah Drinkwitz. Lose to the other Tigers, and getting to a bowl game might be next to impossible.
