Was Herm Edwards a good PR choice for the Chiefs?

[Coogs]

I know I am in the minority around here, but I like Herm as a coach. I agree with his philosophy and everything. I like tough defense and smashmouth play action type of offense. Call me old school, but I just like that type of football. I think we are assembling the type of talent needed to make that type of system work as well. Both sides of the ball. And Herm has proven he can get teams to the playoffs on a fairly regular basis and win once he is there. He has just not won the big one yet. Very much like Dungy. And I wouldn't be surprised if he wins it all just as Dungy did. Might take 3 or 4 more years, but I really believe we are on the right path this time.

I'm sold on his style, if he continues to evaluate and develop talent...
Playoffs in 2 years...maybe

if he takes 3 or 4 more years. I'm all for a SB W then.

Coogs you have every right to like Herm and his system if that is your preference. NTTAWWT

However, how can you make the statement he knows how to make the playoff on a fairly regular basis?

Isn't he going to the playoffs at about a .500 clip on his career? That is fairly regular compared to some of the other coaches in this league.

Dating back to the 2001 season when Edwards entered the NFL head coaching ranks, only three active head coaches in the league — Tony Dungy, Bill Belichick and Andy Reid — own more postseason appearances than Edwards, who has guided his clubs to four postseason berths in six seasons.

It would be 4 in 7 seasons now, but that's not bad. And look at how many have done better over that time span.
