ESPN Anchor is Calling For Ray Anderson’s Job

There’s been a lot of #FireRayAnderson that’s been going around Twitter for some time now and you can now add ESPN anchor and ASU alum Matt Barrie on the train who also wants the AD gone.

Ray Anderson made the right move w/Kenny Dillingham. Along w/other non football decisions during his tenure. However, ASU has fallen too far behind, and it’s unacceptable. It’s time for a change. Moving on is in the best interest of ASU to advance & reach our full potential 🔱

Anderson has been under scrutiny with ASU sports for some time now, especially with the football team failing to meet expectations as of recently.

One of the things that he’s really been under fire for is how he handled the Herm Edwards situation that resulted in the team getting a bowl ban this season because of a recruiting investigation.

ASU has confirmed the one-year bowl ban and informed the team. A source said the reaction in the meeting was “devastating” to the players, especially among the more than 20 seniors. “Their entire goal this year was to right the ship and to make a bowl game,” said an ASU source.

There’s been a lot of other tweets that have been going around about what Ray Anderson has done during the Edwards tenure that has fans wanting him gone more than ever.

Herm’s comments about the ASU job- “I wanted to give it back, I wanted to bring young coaches in and give them the opportunities. So it was a lot of fun, it really was.”

Herm is 110% the product of #FireRayAnderson. Ray did this to @ASUFootball, and he’s still firmly in charge. https://t.co/0D24FH2OGl pic.twitter.com/hNTz0oRIVv

Remember: Herm Edwards started TWO more seasons as the head coach of ASU Football and Ray Anderson NEVER self-imposed a bowl ban on his friend. Ray Anderson waited until his friend was gone and then made Kenny Dillingham pay for his friend's NCAA violations. #FireRayAnderson pic.twitter.com/tNgVIaJVC7

Ray Anderson paid Todd Graham $12mil to go away so he could hire his personal friend Herm Edwards who had not coached football for a decade. Herm Edwards and staff all took part in recruiting violations. Herm was then paid $4.4mil as a thank you to go away. #FireRayAnderson pic.twitter.com/U5LYUfDKX0
