Thought the hire was dumb, thought it would lead to disaster and 3 wins max a season. But he made a bowl last year and just got a big road win against Sparty and is 3-0 so far. Still have the rest of the season to go but his tenure so far has exceeded my expectations.

Agreed. That hire was criticized by everyone, and so far, he has done well.

the biggest thing with herm is he thought he was going to be pure CEO and they'd keep their OC and lost him immediately to ULL

This board fricking crushed that hire. I mean I think it was unanimously one of the most trashed on hires the MSB has seen. I’m sure I was in on it

Looks like a solid hire. I thought he would fail miserable recruiting and have all losing seasons.

I dont think they gonna be competing for pac 12 championships anytime soon, but who knows what can happen in the future

I legit bought into the theory that he was bluffing for a raise at ESPN and they called it. Then you had him acting like the Daily Devil student paper or whatever was so horrible, as if he didn't know his team was called the Sun Devils

That's the one thing I was sure he'd do well. However, this team still only beat Sacramento St 19-7 last week and didn't inspire much confidence on O today. I could still see them going anywhere between 6-3 or 3-6 to finish out.

The average fan has no clue what goes into coaching. That was nothing but group think. Herm is a leader of men.

Said in the hiring thread that I thought he would do really well as a “father figure “ type coach for a lot of these young guys. Just a solid dude and glad it’s working for him.

I never understood why people were so certain he was going to bomb.

I always thought he could be an incredible recruiter.

I liked the hire. I never understood why people were so
Certain he would fail at a school like Arizona State. Very low expectations. Warm weather school. Well known coach. The possibility for success seemed pretty good to me.
