Edwards notched a 26-20 record over four-plus seasons with the Sun Devils, but a disappointing loss Saturday to Eastern Michigan dropped ASU's record to ...

“No one else is coming in the building, and we’ve got to find a way to fix it. He made the playoffs three times in five seasons from 2001 to 2005 with the Jets but perhaps is best remembered for his “ We’ve got to fix it with the players we have. [statement](https://twitter.com/ASUFootball/status/1571609646842118144) released by the school. Herm Edwards is no longer the football coach at Arizona State. We must do better and that starts with our decision today.”

"We had a lot of faith and confidence that with some of the folks we were bringing in we'd have the chance to bounce back. Anderson said he will be involved in the search for Edward's successor, although it is too early to know what that search will look like. For hope for additional discipline, for additional stepping up in the bright moments and really delivering and some of that did not occur quite frankly, reverted back to some of the penalties and just not making big plays at big moments, at the end of the day, not matter what you say, the head coach is responsible for developing and environment and a culture and atmosphere where those things happen. The seat appeared to get hotter for Edwards after last season, one in which the team underachieved. Anderson and Edwards have a long association with Anderson having served as Edwards' agent when he was in the NFL. ASU had entered that game 3-0 in conference play and in first place. We feel like for this current team for our future, for our staff, our university, this is the appropriate change at the appropriate time," Anderson said, in his meeting with 40 or so members of the media. The change in leadership comes just before the Sun Devils get into Pac-12 play and ASU bracing for a game on Saturday against defending conference champion and current No. Then after that ASU has USC on the road and Washington at home. Edwards, 68, was in his fifth season as the Sun Devils head coach. Edwards is no longer the coach of the football program with the decision termed a "mutual parting of the ways" by ASU athletic director Ray Anderson, who met with the media an hour or so after the decision was made public. Anderson met with Edwards after the game, then again Sunday morning when the decision was made.
