Herm Edwards has been making some rounds on national radio and television shows and the Arizona State football coach had an inspirational message for America and the world on one of them.

Appearing on ESPN's Get Up! Thursday morning, the Sun Devils coach discussed what people can do in the face of the coronavirus pandemic and what lessons he hopes people will learn from the situation.

"I think going forward us as Americans and just all over the world, we've got to trust our hopes and not our fears," Edwards told Mike Greenberg. "We gotta understand that we're all on the same team right now and it doesn't matter where you live. We're all on the same team and we've gotta respect our neighbors now. That's what this think is about. We've got to come to grips with this is not normal. OK. I live this way every day. The unexpected is always going to happen. That's what I always think about; that's what you think about as a coach -- the unexpected, and what are you gonna do? Well, we gotta find a way to be on the same page and listen to the game plan of the doctors. That's the game plan; it's not our personal game plan. We can't be a selfish player now, as citizens. We have to all be on the same team and respect each other. I think that's very important."

Edwards worked at ESPN before being hired at Arizona State two seasons ago.

He has been known for his motivational speeches to his football players as a coach in the NFL and now at Arizona State and for his inspiring words as an analyst on the sports network before his hire at ASU.

His words on ESPN Thursday seemed to be a message for America, and the world as a whole.

When asked about the lessons he hopes young men take from the current situation, Edwards answered:

"Well, I hope they think that every day we wake up is a blessing. And we take a lot of things for granted," Edwards said on ESPN. "And this is a time to reflect -- to reflect. To reflect on your life and understand that, all of a sudden, this thing has come upon us. And how we react going forward, I think, is very important.

"But you know what? When you think about our world, we live in a noisy world. It's very quiet now. We're not used to quiet. And I think when quiet comes, we gotta reflect on our lives, and be thankful for the days that we're here. We just take it for granted that every day we're going to get up and it's gonna be good. Well, all of a sudden, it's still good, but it's different. And I think it gives you a lot of ... you gotta do some soul-searching now, and prioritize your life and reflect on your life."

Edwards said that the world would be a better place if people applied some lessons from sports to the current situation.

"I've been blessed," he said. "I couldn't imagine without the great game of football, me travelling and seeing things and being able to support my family and do things that I have never imagined because of the great game of football. I'm a lifer. I'm indebted to the game of football, I really am. It has given me everything I can imagine and more., and the people that have helped me along the way. And the greatest thing about the sport of football and sports in general, whether it is fans of the players that are involved in sports, there's this huddle, there's this massive huddle that comes together from all walks of life, whether you attend the game or are in the huddle, right. And there is this respect everyone has for each other. It breaks all barriers, it's a wonderful thing. It's an opportunity for all those folks to come together and go into a stadium from different neighborhoods and different walks of life and go 'OK, we're all pulling for our team today.' And the players are the same way. All different walks of life they walk into the same huddle and say 'we need each other. We're a team. We can't be selfish.' I think if we can live with those principles outside the huddle when we break the huddle, we'll be a lot better off."

Edwards' message seemed to inspire people on social media:
