Looks like the rats are jumping ship.  Will Herb make it through the season?  Will the Patterson take a page from Greg Byrne's playbook and fire him halfway through what may be a disastrous season?

My guess is that he will be canned the day after finishing in 10th place in the PAC-12

I hadn't heard that. Pretty embarrassing, plus his hound dog looks do nothing to inspire. His only salvation may be if guard Jahii Carson lives up to his potential and helps win some games.

It really is a shame.  Herb is a good coach.  But he hasn't been supported very well by the powers at ASU.  Blame it on the previous "administration" --- Lisa Love.  Which I think is the truth.
