Former Arizona State HC Herm Edwards
Former Arizona State head coach Herm Edwards will not be coming back to college football anytime soon and the NCAA made sure of that on Friday.
Edwards is receiving a show-cause penalty of at least three years stemming from an investigation into alleged recruiting violations during his time in the desert, according to Chris Karpman of Sun Devil Source. During the investigation, Edwards acknowledged that he was personally and directly involved in the violations
In 2021, Edwards and Arizona State were accused of recruiting high school players during the 2020 COVID-19 dead period, a clear violation of NCAA rules. The investigation led to the departure of a number of assistant coaches, but Edwards himself held on until 2022, when he was fired after a 1-2 start to the season. By that point, he seemingly was a controversial figure even within the program.
The 69-year-old Edwards was unlikely to coach in college again even before this penalty was determined. That is pretty much certain now that he has been hit with a fairly big punishment.
