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 |

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%. |

The problem with the term 'continued mediocrity' is that it assumes we've reached mediocrity yet.

I'm pretty pissed that Edwards is only going to win 47% of his games with the Chiefs. But I'm also amazed that there are so many psychics that are into football.

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.

Talking Can and Baby Lee took the words right out of my mouth.
As much as I decry the mediocrity of Marty, even I can admit that what we are now isn't nearly as good as that. |

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. |

My concerns about Herm are Clock Management and his attention to detail along those lines and how he handled Lamont Jordon. I think it's fair to say he has a similar situation in the Holmes/Johnson combo to the Jordan/Martin situation. Jordan did a fine job in Oakland and now the Jets are hurting a bit at RB IMO.
