What do Dirk Koetter, Todd Graham, and Dennis Erickson have in common?
All were coaches who were supposed to lift the Sun Devils back to national relevance, and break the circle of mediocrity that ASU has seemingly been stuck in since they boarded their flight back to Tempe from Pasadena in 1996.
None of those coaches did anything except dig a once proud football program further into the sinkhole it was already in, but in 2018 Herm Edwards was brought in.
Edwards carried himself like a winner. A proven veteran of the oldest form of organized war in the modern sports world.
