The Brushback on Herm Edwards
A friend of mine at Fox Sports pointed me to this website, which is his favorite sports parody site. It's called "The Brushback" and the lead story today is about Herm Edward promising to do for the Chiefs what he did for the Jets...win 47% of his games.
Apologies if this has been posted before. I did a search (to make Skip happy)... Link is here: http://www.thebrushback.com/hermedwards_full.htm |

You actually asked that question because you were labelling Marty a WCO coach without knowing, or bothering to find out, what kind of offense he runs in San Diego? |

Herm's personality is NOTHING like DV's. Herm will ****ing rip you a new a$$hole, as a player. This is the main reason I liked the hire: he doesn't put up with stupid bull$#it. DV didn't get it done here, I understand and agree, but I loved the way DV delegated authority. He allowed his coordinators to coordinate without sticking his fingers in everthing. I think that's the best thing a coach can do.

What was his winning percentage prior to this season, where he lost two starting QB's?

Sanders would have fit the bill. No one else did. The Pats D coordinator has only 1 year of experience and didn't do all that well. WTF did the Packers new HC do? There were a TON of reaches this year. Quote:
JR is in a transition period right now and IMHO the only reason Carl was retained was due to his experience and time with the KC organization. I fully expect JR to be much more hands on as an owner. And no matter the next GM he'll be light years from Peterson. Has to be. Good or bad...

Don't most head coaches usually stay with what they know, not always, but usually. But in the future, I will be clear not to ask questions, OK. You seem to miss those.

I am not anti Herm Edwards. There are things I don't like about the hire. I don't like that we didnt spend enough time IMO talking to coordinators or even conteplating one. I don't like that we gave a draft pick for a guy that would have been fired and arguably might not have been our best option to begin with. I don't like the fact that he's a Carl guy that apparently is Vermielesk which I was never a big fan of to begin with. I want someone that kicks these guys in the ass. Now go ahead and fire away that that hasnt helped us on defense, but there is no denying that all of the remaining coaches in the playoffs command respect from their players with crying every damn time a camera is in their face....GOD I hated that about Vermeil. Maybe Herm can do that, but we shall see.

Are you saying they're a WCO? Quote:
Marty was not an offensive coach. He's used a smashmouth offense, WCO, and now Coryell offense. Quote:

Sunday Ticket ........ YES Jets games ........ Yes at times. Playoffs ........ easy schedules have alot to do with that. But a few years back when Miami , NE and Jets were good, he had to had some talent to play with. Many here will argue that he had no talent..... Miami and NE were good for a couple of losses. Next question ? ( here it that question mark again Parker )

I think that people here read headline "Herm has no clock management skills" and assume that it's 100% true. And if that's the case, the guy has to be, without a doubt, the BEST FOOTBALL COACH OF ALL TIME! Why? Because it would be absolutely impossible for his teams to have played as well as they've played and reached the playoffs 3 times with such poor clock management skills. This is getting to be re-goddamn-diculous. |
