.... liberal dream of an administrative state with loads of bureaucracy to entrench his ideas for years to come. Once implemented, will be hard to get rid off
SAMs are scared of everything. A football coach gets hired at some faraway irrelevant school and they find reason to be scared.
Anyway, Arizona State has been a tease program for as long as I remember. They were an intriguing upstart under Frank Kush 4 or 5 decades ago. Nobody wanted to play them in that Fiesta Bowl, before the Fiesta Bowl became a biggie. Bowden risked it and got beat. Likewise Osborne and Nebraska. Those were famous games at the time, for anyone too young to know. But for the past few decades they have long promised more than they've delivered in the Pac 12, other than the brief period with Plummer and Snyder in the '90s. Dennis Erickson claimed opportunity for a late career national title when he got the Arizona State position. Todd Graham bolted Pittsburgh after one season because he viewed the Sun Devil job at higher upside. There's frequent angst on USC boards about what Arizona State might do. I've long since stopped caring. They'll play weakling early season opponents then mostly wobble around in conference play.
Some Pac 12 teams play legit defense, like Washington right now. Arizona State seldom cares. The past three seasons in my favorite category they have allowed 8.5, 8.8 and 7.5 YPA. So that's Edwards' first challenge. It does fit his playing position.
