Arizona State fired Herm Edwards; Is Karl Dorrell next?

Arizona State fired Herm Edwards; Is Karl Dorrell next?

The Arizona State Sun Devils decided to shake things up and let Herm Edwards go as their head football coach after an ugly loss to Easter Michigan at home on Saturday night.

Losing a buy game at home is never good, and this was the final straw in a long overdue decision regarding Edwards. Technically, he wasn’t fired, but the report said he was “stepping down.”

Still, this isn’t a surprise, and now is the time to wonder if Karl Dorrell is next.

After the Colorado Buffaloes got blitzed by Minnesota 49-7, Dorrell’s status has become a talking point. However, his huge buyout is a problem for Colorado.

When you look at Edwards and Dorrell’s numbers side by side, there are some startling similarities. Here’s one example:

Nebraska already decided to fire Scott Frost, and with the Sun Devils getting rid of Edwards, maybe CU athletic director Rick George decides to make a move. The buyout number is nearly $9 million, but a winless campaign might end up doing more damage in the long run.

This could be the first domino to fall. Or, the Herm Edwards firing could be the only domino to fall.
