It makes for an interesting rhetorical strawman but is far from the case. I can see some of that same sentiment here amongst the defenders of Herman Edwards. Over time I expect that you will begin to see more and more of the "I was a Herm defender but this is the final straw..." type posts.

Again, I was not in the anti-Herm camp for much of the time but it was more of a case fool me shame on me type deal. Looking back I was pretty gullible.

As to your final point, people will take me seriously or not based upon the contrent of my posting. My post here was intended to relate Herm's history of throwing his coordinators under the bus and in slow motion no less. Meaning that he throws them under one year then keeps them around so he can throw them under the next year as he did with BOTH Teddy Cottrell and Paul Hackett. If you don't see a pattern then you do not see it. If on the other hand, you can see a pattern emerging where Herman is never actually to blame for anything bad happening, where Herman always has an OC, or a running back, or a quarterback to blame when things go wrong yet is front-and-center ready to step up to the mic when something goes well then I think you would be seeing the same pattern that I eventually cottoned on to.

Nice Post. We saw that alot this year. Herm chucked Solari under the bus in the pre-season for passing in the redzone... So we have seen this first hand.

Thanks for the info and we love the way Herms talks to us at his press conferences... How dare we question the Great Herm Edwards..

This guys is a joke and a disgrace to Lamar Hunt's memory...
