Is this the first time anyone has ever tried being sympathetic toward ASU?
I agree with that….at least they are trying to become relevant. The rest of the PAC other than the the top 4, ****ing joke.Is this the first time anyone has ever tried being sympathetic toward ASU?
Maybe had they just started paying recruits large sums of money under the table and gotten caught, I would somewhat agree, but hosting recruits during a pandemic dead period and using a rat hole to try and hide it? **** that. I hope the NCAA overreacts and tries to flex whatever muscles they have left and neuters that **** program.I agree with that….at least they are trying to become relevant.

Yep. It's okay to pay under the table with bag men. You need to act like Arizona not Arizona State.Maybe had they just started paying recruits large sums of money under the table and gotten caught, I would somewhat agree, but hosting recruits during a pandemic dead period and using a rat hole to try and hide it? **** that.

That’s cheating that leads to winning. Hosting recruits during a dead period and leaving a paper trail to a recruits mom arranging everything? That’s just stupidity.Yep. It's okay to pay under the table with bag men. You need to act like Arizona not Arizona State.
Honestly, the most important part of their program (Pierce) is leaving, and I don't think Herm is a very good coach. Pierce was the DC and ace recruiter for that program and basically the only reason any blue chip kids were signing there. Depending on whether or not the NCAA is going to actually do anything like take scholarships, enact recruiting restrictions, etc I would almost prefer to leave that program in disarray and a weird limbo without their primary recruiters.If the head coach remains, I will be pissed. The AD is clearly trying to insulate him and he's the root of the problem.
Don't underestimate the influence Herm has in terms of recruiting.Honestly, the most important part of their program (Pierce) is leaving, and I don't think Herm is a very good coach.

When I think about it, it doesn’t really seem all that crazy to think Herm had no clue about what was happening. Because, Herm.Because wtf kind of HC would be that clueless about what's going on in his program?
Now that I think about it, didn't the AD say when Herm was hired that he was going to be a CEO / face of the program (aka, figurehead) head coach?When I think about it, it doesn’t really seem all that crazy to think Herm had no clue about what was happening. Because, Herm.
I don't think that'll ever happen again.If there's ever a case that calls for the death penalty, this one might be it.
I can dream-at least.
FIFYWhen I think about it, it doesn’t really seem all that crazy to think Herm had no clue about what was happening. Because well, have you seen this tweet?
See Paterno, JoeTalk about lacking any and all accountability, regardless of whether he knew directly about it or not. HCs have routinely scapegoated coordinators and assistants for poor performance on the field, but in what world does the head coach not take ultimate responsibility for everything that happens under his watch with his staff?
He ****ing knew, I don't have much doubt about that. I doubt the university didn't know either.Even if I try to believe in a bizarro world scenario where Herm didn't know what was going on, he still needs to resign. Because wtf kind of HC would be that clueless about what's going on in his program?
The coaching world. Every time a HC finds his seat getting hot, the first move is to fire 1 or both coordinators. When it's an NCAA or legal violation, the first move is to fire at least 1, but as many as required, assistants to be the fall guy(s) for what was done.Talk about lacking any and all accountability, regardless of whether he knew directly about it or not.

I'd trade KD for Herm right nowHe ****ing knew, I don't have much doubt about that. I doubt the university didn't know either.
I'd trade about anybody for KD, Herm, no, I'll pass.I'd trade KD for Herm right now
FifyWe want Herm and Hurley to stay at ASU for as long as possible
