Yeah, but how about ASU.  They just beat Michigan State!  And to think we all thought UCLA's hire of Chip Kelly was brilliant while we made fun of ASU's hire of Herm Edwards.

I didn't watch the ASU game, but from the sound of it Herm made a lot of tactically sound decisions that college coaches don't always know to make. Seems reasonable for a former NFL HC (although, you know, not guaranteed). It wouldn't surprise me if by coming in with Graham's players (he always recruited decently, IIRC) he'll do okay, but that he won't be able to do the stuff required to keep up a college program. We'll see, you can't really judge a hire after 2 games.

It's a good thing for Willie Taggart you can't. Florida State has looked pretty bad in their first two games, losing 24-3 to Virginia Tech in the first and barely squeaking by Samford in the second.
