I'm guessing they have somebody in mind.

My money is on Mike Norvell who was their OC a couple of years ago and has done a great job at Memphis.

Sounds like ASU may be targeting Kevin Sumlin.

Seems like an okay hire but he really isn't much of an upgrade to Graham.

Yea, I think that's a better move than Sumlin.

Looks like Mullen to Florida and Schiano to Tennessee.

Can't understand the Mullen move.

Graham is a sleazeball, good riddance--the conference is a million times classier without him.

LOL if they hire Sumlin, who is about to get fired anyways. He did well with Sherman's recruits (particularly all of the NFL draft picks on the offensive line) but is pretty mediocre as a coach overall. I'm not even sure how good of a recruiter he would even be without the $EC bagmen behind him.

They finished the year 5-2 with a win over top 5 Washington at the time.

Kinda surprised.

Seems they were looking for any reason to get rid of him.

To be fair, they have more talent than their record would indicate.

Sure but that's also a reason to keep him too. The South is about to get cutthroat with the coaches and I'd expect a lot of parity going forward.

Here's one take on the firing: https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/ ... 895813001/

Seems to have simply come down to ASU having greater expectations than were being met under Graham.
