A 2nd and 3rd to get Vermeil (and a 1st for Trent because we just didn't want to wait one more year for Trent to become a free-agent!). And (even more unbelievably!) a 4th for Herm, a 52-60 head coach who was likely to be fired in NY.
Carl needs a strong head coach to provide direction for the team. Schottenheimer provided that direction but in Carl's tenure without Marty he is 73-71. Herm is 52-60. Any guesses what their respective records will be after next year?
There is a scene in the movie City Slickers where an aging Billy Crystal looks in the mirror and realizes "this is the best I'm ever going to look." At some point Clark Hunt will have to reach the same epiphany regarding Carl and Herm- their careers have peaked and are now slipping further and further from success or even hope. This franchise will go nowhere until we replace Carl and Herm.
