And make no mistake, Herm deserves all the credit in the world for it. He could have easily asked Peterson to give him a few expensive veterans so he can save his job. Instead, he insisted on tearing the team apart even if it meant unpopularity and a losing season. The word is that he even went over Peterson's head to get to Clark himself. And he was pretty ballsy about benching a lot of veterans in favor for youth. I said a long time ago that Herm was the perfect guy to start the rebuliding process for the Chiefs even if he wasn't the best guy to finish it. Nobody took more shit for it than me. Not even close. So it's good to see people finally come around. |

He was a suckass coach and a suckass coach is not who I want to start a rebuild with. He gets credit for getting Clark to buy into the plan, but the plan should never have included Herman ****ing Edwards.

But once hired, he ended up being the perfect guy to start the rebuild. I don't know how many coaches would have had the guts to stand up to a tenured GM like Carl Peterson and insist upon the youth movement as he did. Granted, you'd love to have a guy like Bellichick who would have the balls to do that and would be able to start and finish the rebuild, but in our case, I think we got a little lucky that a bad coach ended up being pretty good for our situation. And that we had a good out so that a good Herm 9-7 season wouldn't stand as an excuse to keep him around. |
