"When evaluating our head coaches, we have been very clear in our four-prong approach: integrity, academics, performance and fan affinity advancement," Arizona State vice president of athletics Ray Anderson said in a statement. "From the moment he arrived in Tempe, Todd helped change the culture and emphasized the student in student-athlete here at Arizona State, elevating the program to unprecedented heights in the classroom and strong citizenship across the board.

"However, our athletic department, university and community expect our football program to compete on the field for Pac-12 titles, be competitively consistent and qualify to participate in major bowl games on a regular basis. In evaluating Todd's body of work over a four-year period, it became clear that a change is necessary."

I read the article but to me there's something about this guy that just doesn't seem right. Hope I'm wrong.

And the Az St coach literally had a better winning percentage overall and in conference. It appears that you are the one trying "too" hard.

KF is not known to hire assistants who'd have a future coaching D1 football. HF on the other hand did.
