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 |

Herm Edwards may end up doing well here, but I just don't see where all these assumptions that he is a great coach are coming from. Everyone always is bashing Carl Peterson on here, but when it is time to drink the Kool-Aid, most drink it. I think there should be a good amount of skepticism regarding this hire. |

I don't know if Edwards is a "great" coach. But I do feel like he was a good fit for the situation this team is in. If we want to win with our current players, I don't think we can afford the growing pains of someone with no HC experience. I don't think I need to be any more skeptical of the Edwards hire than I would the hiring of anyone else. He has a respectable resume, with the only real mark against him coming in a year that his team was decimated by injuries. |

The only other thing I would say is, if all we need is a guy to take our current team and go from there then why not Hire Mike Sherman.....he wouldnt have cost us a 4th rounder.

Those are a few legitimate red flags, in my opinion. I think the best case scenario is that he is "Vermeil lite" -- able to create the family atmosphere, but without the knowledge of offense Vermeil had. |

I'll take a 47% winning percentage in exchange for 2 playoff wins.
Gunther's winning percentage was 50%. Vermeil's was a stunning 55%. |

Would you be happy with a team like the Skins? Mediocrity, whether it includes a couple of playoff wins along the way through the years, is still just mediocrity.
