We've been hearing ASU is a sleeping giant for 20 years. Recruit Central AZ, SoCal, and Texas and they'll be unstoppable. They never deliver.
I heard Nigel Burton on 950 today (fuck off). He said that basically everyone except for USC and maybe UCLA and UW needs to adjust their expectations. Not that many teams are going to win 10, 11, or 12 games often. I'm not saying Graham was a great coach, but if they're going to fire him and hire another mediocre coach like Sumlin, that's just FS. Koetter wasn't good enough so they hired Erickson. He did well for a year or two, then fell off, so they hired Graham. He did the same. Now they're going to hire someone who is equal or even worse than Graham and then fire them in four years...makes no sense.
