New ASU football coach Herm Edwards arrival in Tempe wasn’t greeted with much applause from national observers. The New Leadership Model, which is turning Arizona State into a NFL-style program, was scoffed at and mocked.

Sun Devil head coach Tracy “Skip” Smith leaned up against Arizona State’s dugout on the Phoenix Municipal Stadium first base line Wednesday afternoon. Looking through black Adidas sunglasses, Smith stared at the trio of media members holding phones in front of him.
