Edwards took over the Arizona State program prior to the 2018 season, and in parts of five seasons led the team to a 26-20 record and three bowl appearances. That includes an 8-5 record and Las Vegas Bowl loss to Wisconsin a year ago.
In three games to start this season the Sun Devils are 1-2 and coming off of a bad home loss to Eastern Michigan at home on Saturday. Their only win of the season so far was a 40-3 win over FCS Northern Arizona.
After starting the 2021 season with a 5-1 record, Arizona State is just 4-6 in the 10 games since.
Its next two games are against nationally ranked teams Utah and USC to open the Pac-12 portion of the schedule.
Prior to joining Arizona State, Edwards was a long-time coach in the NFL with the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs.
