His job is safe if he gets to 6-6. Last night wad a disappointing loss for sure. That first pick completely changed the game. UCLA had almost quit before that and they got life.

Gotta beat Oregon State.

And I still say if not Graham then who?
Somebody else. If graham is just a guy does it matter who they replace him with?

The last offensive TD we scored was at the 7:22 mark of the second quarter!!! Won’t win a college football game with that level of ineptitude!!! Pathetic. We ran for 300 yards for the game, and couldn’t score a damn TD from the last half of the 2nd quarter and the entire second half!!!
Is there really any lingering doubts about why Graham mush go???

There are about 12 million reasons why six wins might be enough to keep him until next season.

But in all reality, ASU is just a program. I am not sure ASU will ever be a top program year over year in the PAC let alone the nation.

While I don't want mediocrity forever with the same guy I don't see the point in getting upset over a 6-6 (hopefully) record. ASU is kind of a 6-6 program

While that might be true, i recall the days when asu was looked at as a sleeping giant. And even if you’re a 6-6 program does that mean you shouldn’t strive for more???

Graham will get next year regardless of this season's final record. That is the reality of the situation. Graham will be head coach of the Sun Devils football team next season; regardless of this season's final record.

Not saying I like it; it just is.

Hopefully a coach who can fix the defense or who can recruit better.

ASU can easily lose out with their porous defense. The bright spots for me is when the Devils beat Washington and Utah with strong defensive efforts. The team does not have any depth.

So, I was totally WRONG about this!!

I thought I had good info that the cost to fire Graham was more than the University would be willing to pay. Perhaps a booster with deep pockets stepped forward and agreed to pick up a large portion of the payoff. :shrug:

I know a pretty dedicated booster.
He said they gave up on Graham last year and that’s why the stadium reno didn’t get done. He said he wasn’t going to cough up another dime until Graham was gone.

I think it would have made more sense had they fired Graham after last years pitiful season than this year!

Regarding stadium renovations, it was always a three year plan, they completed phase two this past summer. Phase 3 is scheduled for this off-season.
