Bickley: Bruce Arians, ASU football keep playing blame game

Related Topics: Bruce Arians

Bruce Arians and the Arizona State football program have a lot in common. Both are masters at deflection. Blame is a one-way street.

Their conviction is delusional and breathtaking.

The Cardinals head coach shirked accountability 24 hours after personally shouldering last week’s loss to the Texans. Sorry, not sorry. The reversal was stunning, especially when Arians’ play-calling blunder was an indefensible decision, the reckless act of a desperate man.

Meanwhile, ASU could conceivably fire head coach Todd Graham by the end of the weekend, even though he could finish with a 7-5 record and a respectable bowl assignment, a notable achievement for a team with very low expectations entering the season.
