He's very good, for sure, but I don't think ASU needs a 62-year-old coach at this point. Not sure why he would leave St. Mary's at this point of his life, either. A decade ago, Bennett would have been a very good choice for ASU, especially with his local ties.
ASU could do much worse than Bennett. For starters, many college coaches are coaching into their 70s, so you’d get ~10 years of proven experience. Plus, many of these older coaches start grooming an assistant now as their replacement. Also, ASU can pay more. Bennett makes $1mil, so I’d imagine that they’d pay him more than double his current salary.
I think you guys need the best coach that’s willing to take the job, because the Big-12 is filled with titans. Ideally, Bobby’s replacement is younger, but if a known commodity wants to take the job, you don’t say no.
