Ex-Jets HC Herm Edwards under investigation for recruiting violations at Arizona State

<div><p>Herm Edwards is under fire at Arizona State for a multitude of recruiting violations over the past year, according to <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-ncaa-investigating-arizona-state-football-for-recruiting-violations-194707554.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel</a>.</p> <p>Edwards and his staff allegedly met with and hosted recruits during a 14-month period when none were allowed, including on-campus visits and illicit practices, according to Thamel. Arizona State and the NCAA are investigating the matter after an anonymous tipster sent “a dossier of dozens of pages” that “included screenshots, receipts, pictures and emails related to numerous potential violations within Arizona State’s football program.”</p> <p>Edwards joined Arizona State in 2018 and has a 17–13 record. He left the NFL in 2008 after three seasons as the Chiefs head coach and five with the Jets from 2001-2005. He went 39-41 in the regular season and made the playoffs three times with a 2-3 record.</p> <aside class="shortcode shortcode--listicle" data-gallery-id="659993"> <h2 class="shortcode--listicle__header"><span>List</span></h2> <a class="shortcode--listicle__link" href="https://jetswire.usatoday.com/lists/new-york-jets-head-coach-robert-saleh-through-the-years-nfl/" title="From Houston to New York: Robert Saleh through the years"> <h2 class="shortcode--listicle__title">From Houston to New York: Robert Saleh through the years</h2> <div class="shortcode--listicle__image"> <img width="1000" height="667" src="https://jetswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/66/2021/05/f43e893f5c3848ad9540918e561f9bbe-e1620863309144.jpg?w=1000" class="attachment-1000x1000 size-1000x1000" alt="" loading="lazy"> </div> </a> </aside> <div id="inline-newsletter-widget" class="hidden" data-position="7"><div class="widget widget--newsletter widget--box"> <div class="newsletter__wrapper "> <div class="newsletter__signup-wrapper"> <label class="newsletter__input-label" for="newsletter-email-input"> <span class="screen-reader-text">Email</span> </label> <button type="submit" class="newsletter__button">Sign up </button> <div class="newsletter__sidetext"> <h3>Like this article?</h3> <p>Sign up for the Jets Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning</p> </div> <div class="newsletter__state newsletter__state--error"> <h3 class="newsletter__header newsletter__header--error">An error has occured</h3> <p class="newsletter__text newsletter__text--error"> Please re-enter your email address. </p> </div> </div> <div class="newsletter__state newsletter__state--success"> <h3 class="newsletter__header">Thanks for signing up!</h3> <p class="newsletter__text"> You'll now receive the top Jets Wire stories each day directly in your inbox. </p> </div> </div> </div></div></div>
