congratulations on a good year post Herm. We hope to have one soon.

I think it is probably like Paul (3rd-and-long draw play) Hackett, the gift that seems to keep on giving. He still plying his trade in Tampa last time I checked. There is a bit of a "greater fool" theory going on where there is always someone else it seems who is willing to give him a job.
In one sense Herm provided the (what looks to be good) timing that led the Jets to Mangini. He also provided the 4th rounder that was well spent on Leon Washington. In that sense Herm had his pluses.
The playoffs this year I think will lead to several more years of Herm at Arrowhead. I don't know how strong the ownership is in KC but many teams would not want to expose themselves to the accusation that they are racially motivated in getting rid of a coach. Fortunately for the Jets, the manner of Herm's departure saved us from those charges.
