Andrea Adelson, of the Associated Press, reports the Kansas City Chiefs are close to acquiring New York Jets head coach Herman Edwards. An anonymous person close to the situation reports the two sides are rapidly coming to an agreement on compensation and Edwards could be coach of the Chiefs as early as Friday, Jan. 6. Chiefs spokesman Bob Moore claimed Thursday, Jan. 5, that the Chiefs haven't even asked for permission to talk with Edwards.

Media speculation... That's all this is. We don't even know if Carl has every called the Jets at all... We only know that "sources" say conflicting things. My bet is, Herm Edwards will be the Jets' head coach next year, and the year after that... Anybody want to put money on it?

All this talk is a direct result of every reporter out there (knowing that they won't be held accountable if they are wrong, and will be hailed as a true genious if they are right) trying to out-scoup the competition...

Schefter reported that Herm told his coaching staff this morning that he would not be back...where he got his info

edit: & Vilma verified it in an interview(which I have not seen)

I don't see anyway he's with the Jets next year. He wants out, with all of this going on if he returns. The NY media will rip the guy a new one every single day and make his life hell. I think he'd quit and sit out before he returned to coach the Jets.

Yes he did, how on earth have you missed it. It has been clearly reported on NFL network at least a half dozen times tonight by several different reporters.

Well ESPN just said that the Jets may end up firing Edwards if they don't work out a compensation deal with the Chiefs, resulting in KC getting him for nothing. Hard to fire a guy that has already quit.

Care to provide a link?

See how that's worded?

They MIGHT fire him IF they can't work out a deal for him...

Basically, Maybe they'll trade him, maybe they'll fire him, maybe they'll keep him....

This is a freaking AWESOME story!

Herm Edwards quitting is a pretty big story, surely someone would run it on their website. Unless it never happened.

Mecca · 01-06-2006, 12:01 AM

Maybe he told his coaches he's quitting but it hasn't been officially announced?

NOBODY is reporting this. Kind of casts a cloud of doubt.
