On Tuesday, ESPN announced that Herm Edwards is returning to the network as both an NFL and college football analyst. The former coach was fired from Arizona State in September.
“When Herm left for Arizona State, we said we’d keep a seat open for him. After all he did for us on the air and behind the scenes, he deserved that. We are thrilled to welcome him back,” Seth Markman, ESPN vice president of production, said in the release. “There is no better teammate, and we can’t wait for him to bring his unique coaching perspective and passion for the game back for our viewers.
