Whether or not they get put on probation will determine the quality of coach they can bring in. Matt Rhule and Dan Mullen aren’t going to take over a job with scholarship limits and/or bowl bans. Not to mention the administrative disfunction that has been going on for decades at ASU.
As of right now, I’d say their best bet is to find a reasonably successful G5 coach who is willing to get fired in 3 years when he can’t make lemonade out of a cup of p**s.
