Airzona State Head Coach Search

Speculation from the Arizona Republic (Phoenix newspaper)...includes Mike Leach and Jon Gruden. Cost over $12,000,000 to buyout former head coach. They are questioning the sanity of firing a 7-5 coach who beat then #4 Washington and then #20 Oregon plus beating hated Arizona after being down 24-14 at half-time to pick up the $12MM tab. Yes, that is even very big money at ASU

Herm Edwards is a pretty decent football mind. He was told to not mess with his two coordinators by the AD and he won't. Billy Napier was Dabo's first OC at 29! Plus, all the years helping McElwain and working with Saban certainly helped some.

The buyout is minimal compared to some others this year. Check out what A & M is going to have to pay FSU to get Jimbo.
