Does anyone really think the Jets were better than the Pats in Herm's tenure there? The Jets couldn't beat the Pats during those year - but the rest of the NFL couldn't either.
I think if you put Bill Cowher, Andy Reid, or other excellent coaches in the same division as the Pats during that stretch (and had their QB get hurt 3 times), they would have struggled to get 3 playoff appearances and 2 playoff victories in that stretch.
And somehow Herm went to the playoffs last year with a strating lineup consisting of the reviled Samie Parker (who will be replaced by Dwayne Bowe by the bye week), Jordan Black, Kendrell Bell, aand over-the-hill Sammy Knight and Greg Wesley at safety.
You guys on this message board are always talking about how these are the worst players out there. Herm went to the playoffs with them!
Now he's in the process of replacing them, and by next year we should be ready for the next step.
