Roaf was old and both he and Shields had talked about retirement before. It wasn't a complete surprise they would need to be replaced. I'm still waiting for another team that went from 1 to 31 in two years.

Herm dismantled this offense faster than Mangino eats gravy.

Glad an outsider takes the same view as a few of us on here who haven't bought into the Ministry of Truth's propaganda.

Well at least I dont live in around Tulsa........

What about two 4-12 seasons as well? What about a career LOSING record? I get sooooo sick of people giving Herm all the credit here and NONE of the responsibility for past failures. Take his playoff appearance with the Chiefs - it's HIS playoff team but it's DV's team that was old and going down hill fast...Whatever - Herm is not the worst coach but he's easily closer to the bottem than the middle of the pack IMO. I can't believe we actually had to give up a draft pick for the guy when he was going to get fired. :shake:

Seattle went from 2 to 19 and Denver went from 5 to 21 in 1 season from 2006-2007.

Herm, The Man The Message
 

“I think these guys are embarrassed about the way they played… Why it happened I don’t know.”

- Chiefs Coach Herm Edwards, who doesn’t know these things.

“Well. Yeah. We’d like to score when we get into the Red Zone. That’s going to be our deal.”

- Edwards, unveiling the keystone of his bold new plan.

“Well, I don’t know about that. We have an idea. You’re talking now, in my opinion, it’s not 53 it’s 60. Because of the practice squad. So it’s 60 in my mind. It’s how do you develop 60 guys. Out of the guys you’re going to keep, who is the 53rd guy and then from there, who is the eighth guy that makes up 60?”

Need I say more

Ang

by the way, the folks that produce the respected Football Prospectus pretty much echo these comments about Herm. I'll put together a list of their jabs on Herm at some point.

It really all comes down to one major point for all the critics of Herm Edwards -- Herm Edwards is such an extreme play-not-to-lose coach that he can't be successful in today's game. Either Herm Edwards adapts a la Marty Schottenheimer, or Herm will soon be an ex-NFL head coach.

Generally when someone is widely thought of as being a horrendous head coach by so many different sources that would lead you to believe that he is.

Bump for Herm... He is losing the Team.
