Coach Edwards knows how to coach and is a leader of men. I’d run through a brick wall for him. Best of luck this season coach

[@terencerocckid5052]

First Name Last Name your delusional....he probably should have been went and coached college....Pete Carroll...Nick Saban

[@conormctapoutaka0-1aka0tit5]

Lol he's a below average coach. What made you think he's a good or even a decent coach?

[@92bsl]

It’s more than wins and losses. Yeah he’ll be judged on that, but he’s been around football for over 30 years. He knows how to coach. I also said he’s a leader of men. It’s also beyond football. Coach Herm is a great coach, leader and mentor. I wish he would have been my HS football coach. He’ll prove his naysayers wrong this year

[@stevenasante8662]

First Name Last Name As I recall, Nick Saban was a horrible NFL coach, perhaps worse then Herm. And yet, he's regard as one of the best college coaches of all time. So, it is irrelevant to compare NFL coaching to College coaching, it's a different game...

[@GuapoSantana]

Same here he's a hell of a speaker/motivator

[@MetalRush666]

I'd play for Coach Herm in a heartbeat. A good man and a good leader

[@steffensamlal1854]

Do what you do coach and we miss u on espn

[@kermitalexander6655]

You know what you get with coach Herm. 😎

[@christopherpennetta8973]

Even if Herm and the Sun Devils don't win many games I know 1 thing I can guarantee about Herm. He's gonna make those kids better and turn them into good MEN.

[@UFCaccesslimiter]

But I'd rather them Win.

[@_jaynola_]

Amen 🙏 That part got lost along the way! No one cares about these kids and only winning is important. I’d rather better MEN than a record. Would rather have both but if not make them some great MEN!!!!

[@christopherpennetta8973]

Psalm 112: 7-8 I'll tell you this much and you take it for what it's worth my brother....You learn more about yourself in how you handle a loss then when you win. Winning is easy to accept, defeat isn't. I rather a group of guys with good character then men that are super talented with bad character....

[@christopherpennetta8973]

Jay Mack Winning is easy, defeat is hard to accept. Anyone that played for Herm would still tell you even if they lost a lot that he was a great coach and better man

[@christopherpennetta8973]

I live 10 min from Metlife and the old Giants Staduim. Grew up here all my life. I saw first hand what kind of guy and coach Herm is... He's great

[@zertexz574]

We here to Win the Game.

[@itsintheword230]

Lol

[@904czv4]

Zertex Z best quote from the man! Love that clip!

[@musicman76enator]

It would be so cool to see Herm Edwards lead ASU to a winning season and a Bowl Game.

[@jonathonvalenzuela2091]

Matthew Jay Evans Hell ya bro I have season tickets I’m excited af!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@allpraisestoyah5033]

Jonathon Valenzuela do y’all play Usc this year ima Usc fan but got respect for herm

[@stress3dsol3s]

This is exciting I'm a Tucson native. Looking forward to the duel in the desert this year. November 24th can't come quick enough.

[@TheSylrapz]

We play USC every year.

[@ethankispert1768]

Not looking like it so far. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@riku1neo]

I have never really seen Arizona State play, but they have some cool colors. This facility looks pretty awesome.

[@rlonzoraddison6921]

Thank you coach Edwards for sharing inspirational spirit, and enlightened purpose.👍👍

[@MrDJJOHN1969]

This man should have never been out of coaching unless he chooses to play

[@conormctapoutaka0-1aka0tit5]

DJ313 DETROIT losing coached usually lose their jobs... Eventually

[@MrDJJOHN1969]

Connor McTapout aka 0-1 aka 0 Title Defenses I no that you never lose your ability and coach the question are disrespectful he is a coach for life

[@theone1681]

Man, I don’t want to sound corny but god damn it’s good to see that good older men are still raising good young men , with all the shit going on in our government and our media it’s nice to know there are still youngins coming up with the power of respect and admiration of duty... the way this country is going ... we may need a lot of these kids joining the front lines in 4years ...

[@AkhirahOverDunya85]

My all time favorite coach! Best of luck Herm!!

[@jpesicka999]

Firing up NCAA Footall 2012 right now.

[@bradanderson495]

This guy could coach anything. Would loved to have played for him just for his wisdom and motivation. Coach I’m now an ASU fan simply because your there!

[@__brianturnerbodybuildingt9988]

So much passion.This man breathes football

[@CoachDarren]

Coach Herman Edwards great victory today against Florida State. Congrats on your first Bowl win!

[@autry33]

Please Please Please let him succeed at Arizona St!!! I'm a Longhorn but we need for guys like Edwards to succeed.

[@sophecles2b]

I read a few comments saying antics and rah-rah don't win games, you are correct but Herm is doing it right...he is teaching these young men character to thank the people behind the scenes ...these kids are motivated to play for him because he relates...a kid in the comments says he would play for him...I see a lot of what another program is doing and they are quite successful and they told that coach he was crazy as well

[@dado380]

2-0 is a good start ,all the best to arizona state from pats fan.

[@UniversalCode9]

He will do great. Others opinion doesn't have to be his reality."" Les brown ""

[@rustedgreen5916]

Coach Edwards is such a winner. He’s the best person ever. (No sarcasm, very sincere)

[@BTheMag]

The ultimate motivator

[@EpicGuitarGuru]

Arizona State is gonna be a fun football team to watch in the next few years. Basketball too.

[@itsintheword230]

Famous Herm Edwards quote ..."YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!!!" LOL

[@904czv4]

“HELLO?!!”

[@jaystezz]

Ima big herm fan I hope asu is successful

[@TheSylrapz]

End of first of the season, Herm Edwards is 7-5. ASU was predicted to be 3-9 in this season but ended the season as 7-5. Most of the games that ASU lost has been determined by a TD and a score. No blowout game. ASU is going to play the bowl game in December.

[@xFmFxIcExCuBe3]

I could listen to him speak for days. Best of luck coach. Shame on the 28 people who disliked this video 👎🏻 👎🏻

[@TideTreeService]

Coach Edwards just made me a Sun Devil fan...

[@FreLitqa]

He will prove alot of haters wrong

[@AliensAnonymous]

Where does that knee jerk response come from? The Jet organization was filled with haters. And the Chiefs? He lost way more than he won. Are those stats haters, too? No team in NFL wanted to hire him in the last decade. All haters? --Or maybe he wasn't very good and UR THE HATERS for not facing up to that fact.

[@FreLitqa]

AliensAnonymous Thanks for your comment

[@PaladinPoppie]

Maybe he’s a a better CFB coach than NFL. So far he’s proving ppl wrong. Hope the man can give the devils a winning season and bowl appearance... then it should improve from there.

[@haroldhall1517]

@@PaladinPoppie hes got the swagger and personality where young men can relate and like him, hes got the skills and knowledge to teach the young kids who will like him and thus be more devoted to listen to him, hes got the intimidating leadership attitude to keep those young kids in line... perfect for a college coach. Never watched ASU as much since seeing this video prior to last season, beat usc and oregon with 90% sophomores and freshmen, what's next year going to look like???

[@eIicit]

What a fantastic individual. Blessings.

[@dmnsxm1hxnnxd892]

This man has a great spirit, God bless Coach Herm

[@anthonystroman8407]

I just love to hear him talk.

[@ryebread7224]

I get goosebumps watching him lead and teach. Absolutely love this guy.

[@rmgdmv2786]

Good Luck Herm! I hope Arizona State is the story of the year.

[@andrewp4220]

Never met Herm in person, hopefully one day I will hear him speak in person. He's definitely someone you want coaching your kids. Values, determination, grit and priorities all come to mind when I hear him speak. Everyone (age/race/sex) that listens to him speak can benefit from what he has to say!! I will be following ASU's team this year. Wishing him all the best.

[@HeathenHammer123]

we shall see! hope it works out

[@chadmcfly1299]

My team isn't in the pac 12 nor do I care about any team in it but this year ill be rooting for the sun devils. Good luck coach, you play to win the game.

[@kdxvids7053]

I really hope he's successful. Good speed Coach Edwards.

[@dubstepphene82]

I've always liked Herm Edwards

[@Ryan-jx4vh]

Great man!!! I hope he does well. He is teaching those guys empathy, respect and work ethic. We need more leaders like Herm in this world. 🙌

[@I_ate_at_burger_king]

Give him a couple of years he'll turn asu into a powerhouse

[@icetray2727]

I’m very excited

[@bernieromero5597]

Love that guy

[@daleclark847]

[@raghib4281]

[@ST34HON]

[@thebreakdownsmith7398]

Great hire!!

[@DWes487]

I'm rootin for him. Die hard Raider & 49er fan here. Edwards, Gruden, Holmgren...those cats are a different breed.

[@maaly8111]

This dude right here. I'd play for him for sure. He looks like a good teacher.

[@nik_2323]

They hate on herm like they hate on gruden these guys are old school mentality, real men, all football guys they both will be just fine in their return to coaching

[@Avinadav12]

I have always believed that College Football was the place for Coach Herm.

[@jasonraczkowski6001]

Patrick Jones reminds me a lot of Pete Carroll

[@PaladinPoppie]

Agreed. The dude can motivate college players 2 run through brick walls.... Kinda hard to make NFL players do it when u make less than them...

[@PaladinPoppie]

I think he will do fine.

[@ChrisDogan]

Good luck coach ✊✊✊

[@2cardarsenal310]

Herm Edwards = a First class human being! Pulling for this guy to succeed and not only lead young men on the football field but OFF as well.

[@NowWhat01]

I like it! Go get 'em Coach!!!

[@littlenikki2003]

Watch him prove the haters and media wrong!

[@brentduanefoster]

I like the potential of this. Go get em', Coach!!!!!!!

[@akuokofrimpong77]

Do they have a tv schedule for their games??

[@kdmonroe0708]

This is a real coach right here. Best of luck to you Coach Herm!

[@davidmeyer6500]

I love the way he deals with reality. Life coach Herm !

[@ruggerREL]

7-5 gets them a bowl game that’s a win bama wasn’t built in a day

[@duckbanks2195]

Cant wait to see how asu looks.. Like Herm I think hell get the job done there.. Not sure about any championships but they will be competitive.

[@lamarrsimpson7689]

I'm rooting for coach

[@mroerled]

3:06 Fired me up

[@GearshiftsandGrins]

Good win against Michigan State last night Herm. I think people will start to believe what your players already know, that A-State is for real!!

[@JRocha562]

Best of luck!

[@curtiscardwell6961]

Love Herm!

[@RariShiesty]

I'm a big USC fan but I hope he does well and I was an actual recruit I would highly recommend going to ASU over USC I don't think I would pull the trigger but I would strongly consider

[@darkbrisco]

Coach Edwards, Coach Singletary, Coach Billick. Wholly underrated.

[@Kennyarnold16]

I would love to play for coach Herm!

[@billsmith8961]

I’m a Jet fan and loved Herm. He won games and the team had his personality. He should’ve been a college HC a long time ago. I think he will surprise folks. He has a good staff.

[@branking3023]

I would've loved playing for him.

[@allgoodwoods219]

Coach Edwards is my favorite football coach!! He’s a true leader of men! I hope Arizona State has a great season.

[@abredell]

I hope he turns around Arizona st I wish him success

[@maaly8111]

@3:35 man look. this guy is a genius

[@Rize_Inn]

Best of luck to Coach Edwards and his team.

[@TheSylrapz]

He has a lot of experiences! He spent his entire life on Football. I hope high rated players come to ASU for learning for him.

[@tunarriodavidson3636]

U always got a job at ESPN.... but I wish u the best Herm

[@dreamvillehoops5618]

I’m glad he is making it fun football should not be played in boundege it should be played with enjoyment

[@ehsuf09131]

With everything going on with Ohio State & especially Maryland this brings tears to my eyes as I run through a wall for this man I’ve never meet in my life. Football is a sacred game. All sports are sacred. No one has or will ever be bigger than the sport. And he gets that. And even with how sacred football & sports are... life is SO MUCH MORE & he gets that and teaches that too. As long as he is at ASU they are my #3 team

[@j.carlosandrade4790]

As a USC fan, I'd run thru a brick wall for this guy. Love old school football coaching! Lit Af!

[@texasguy5377]

i fucking love herm edwards. you play to win the game!!!!!

[@christianbeevers4937]

I hope he is successful, I’ve always like herm.

[@miklovelka8227]

You play to win the game I’ll be rooting for asu

[@MrBajiyo]

Coaching is also about teaching and Coach Herm is a damn good teacher. The kids would rather have a coach who's been there and done that which he is.

[@KeepMovingForwardAlways983]

I don’t care about his record this man is a great coach and inspiration to lead a new generation into the future of getting things done. Thank you coach Edwards

[@eclectics101]

I will miss seeing Herm on TV

[@aaronrobertsson7725]

I guess you can say he has firm expectations

[@jjodavis44]

Herm the Sherm! Go Sun Devils!

[@CoreyAMoore]

Man, I wish I was a high school kid and had a choice of schools I'd like to play for because ASU and Coach Herm would be my choice. I believe in him and I feel that he'll teach me football and life at the same time and I'm pretty sure I'd be a better man after leaving his program. I think he's a great motivator and leader and thats what young players/men need

[@dghost198]

Seems like a good guy. I’m excited for the season, go Devils! 😈

[@brucehicks5817]

"Rugby style tackling." Makes me happy.

[@reliablethreat23]

Herm Edwards is the man.

[@elijahmatthews2781]

"We Play To Win The Game, We Don't Just Play To Play." Love to see what Coach Edwards do at ASU. Best of luck.
