How about that Herm Edwards and ASU!
- Thread starter F5Tornado
- Start date
He's a different kind of cat, but good for him on his win last night! Not so good for his counterpart at Arizona.
MSU seems over hyped this year. They also struggled with Utah St last week.
Yep-it's all settled now, and forever. Herm Edwards was a brilliant hire because he pulled off one upset. No other game he coaches will ever matter. It's done, finished. Might as well hand him the coach of the year now, because it is all settled.
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly people are ready to declare coaches or teams successes or failures based on a game or two. I mean, time and time and time again we have seen somebody pull off an upset or two(Ron Prince, anyone?), and people immediately declare them a great coach-and then they end up failing. And we see somebody who turns out to be a great success start slow(Nick Saban's first year at Alabama. anyone?) and people are ready to declare them a failure, or at least overrated. And people never learn. Just unbelievable.

If anyone is overreacting, it's you. Edwards was expected to be an immediate failure, but that has not been the case after two games, including a game with a ranked team. What's wrong with pointing that out?
Immediate failure? Who said he was going to be an immediate failure? The general consensus was that it was a terrible hire. That does not mean people thought he was going to fail in his first two games. Nobody is a failure or a success after two games nor is anybody ever predicted to be one.
ASU's offense is pretty talented this year. Herm is looking to have been not too bad of a hire at this point.
I think MSU has been smoke and mirrors for a few years now.
Once they ran out of NFL QB's that no one else wanted I have felt they were on borrowed time.
He's done better than people expected after two games. You are overreacting to those who are giving him some credit. That's all.
Its not like a good team has ever lost in the desert early in the season before...a very tough place to play when the home team is invested in football and not extracurriculars.
the problem is with people who take praise or criticism about a single game or a few games and twist it into that someone is arguing about said coach being the greatest or worst of all time
who is declaring Edwards as the greatest of all time or Frost a failure? It's ok to criticize good coaches and praise bad coaches based on individual game results without it being a referendum on their entire career
Beating the perennial powerhouse of UTSA and a Michigan State team that there had already been signs that they may have been overrated is hardly much to crow about, yet. How about we at least wait until the end of October when they will have played Washington, Stanford and USC(and Colorado) and then we'll see how they're doing. If they're still doing well, then I'll give him credit. Until at least then(and really longer than that), I'd hardly consider it a brilliant hire yet.
You are not really like this, are you? You really don't get this worked up, do you?
You react like a serial killer would.
