Herm Edwards is a crappier version of Dick Vermiel

[Jim Jones]

What exactly are we getting with Herm that we didn't already have in Dick Vermiel? Both are nice guys that are "buddy buddy" with players, neither have been known as real "X's and O's" guys, they rely on a lot of inspirational speeches, trying to motivate players that way. Vermiel has a much better career record including Superbowl Rings, and seems to have associated himself with much better assistants over his career then Herm has.

Herm was so loyal to Paul Hackett that the owner had to beg and convince him to let Hackett go.

I just don't see where we are improving at all, we're keeping Gunther and probably losing Al Saunders, and there isn't an OC out there as good as Al. We're replacing one motivational nice guy with a motivational nice guy who isn't as good as the one we had.

Ugh, this is so aggrivating. Can someone who actually likes this move please tell me how it helps us at all? Seems like two steps back to me.

his specialty seems to be pass defense

In 1995, he worked as a scout in the pro personnel department and from 1992-94 he served as the Chiefs' defensive backs coach and was credited with the development of CB Dale Carter, the AFC's Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1992 and S Charles Mincy, while also coaching Pro Bowlers S Kevin Ross and CB Albert Lewis. In each of his three seasons as the Chiefs' defensive backfield coach, KC ranked in the NFL's top three in take-aways and in the top 10 in pass defense. The 1992 season saw the Chiefs lead the AFC, and finish second in the NFL, in pass defense, surrendering a mere 158.6 yards per game.

In 1990-91, Edwards was a talent scout for the Chiefs while also serving as an assistant to Tony Dungy, then the Chiefs' defensive backs coach.

Edwards had a major hand in overseeing the NFL's second ranked pass defenses in both 1998 and 1999.
Under Edwards' mentoring Lynch earned three Pro Bowl berths (2000, 1999 and 1998) and Abraham earned one (2000), thus marking the first Pro Bowl appearances by a member of the Tampa Bay defensive backfield since Wayne Haddix in 1990.

I see it more as a Laterial Move, Not a Demotion not a promotion.

But I feel Herms youth will Prove to be the deciding factor.

I just hope he doesnt get us one and done and I pray that between here and NY herm Grows Some balls to go for it on 4th down

I am ok with it. I dont mind this at all. first thing we need to do is sniff the damn play offs, then worry about what happens after that. We havent been sniffing shit but everyone elses ass. I think its a good move.

Top Ten Reasons Herm Is Better Than Dick

10. Finally, a coach that isn't 60+ years old.

9. His wife won't interrupt important training camp exercises to deliver a new car.

8. Doesn't have a love thing for some of our crappier players.

7. No running back by committee.

6. Won't break down into tears at the drop of a hat ... any body's hat.

5. Might actually draft a QBOTF.

4. Only cost us a 4th round draft pick ... so far anyway.

3. Won't spit out useless statistics prior to and after each game to defend his position.

2. Won't use phrases like, "Unless he's a turd bird," "It's a gift from Santi Clause," or, "Craphonso's got a boo-boo."

1. Won't make that sucking/inhaling noise during press conferences trying to keep his false teeth in.

Heh. Germ Edwards is a walking dictionary of useless crap like that.

The thing is, when I'm trying to figure out if he's going to be successful as the HC of the Chiefs, is that he's a cog (granted, a big cog) in a wheel that consists of well over 100 cogs, some bigger than others, but all part of a big wheel. To try and speculate how that wheel is gonna turn before it's even put into gear.....
Tell me, honestly, how does one do it?
I'll wait for awhile.

[harpes]

There isnt a HC out there that half the football coach wanna B's or Al Bundys out wouldnt hate. If you dont like it get over it and now lets build a championship. I hope Al hangs around but if not we will survive. What we needed was a defensive minded coach that hasnt had a history of doing things only his way and thats what we now have herm

simple.

one merely has to be cognisant of the other cogs and their cognitive process when confronted with cogent evidence that the cog's cognition is clogged or, for example, when the other cogs can't cognize.

cogentally speaking, ya know what I mean. Every individual can alter the chemistry. Forget the cogizms.

If you dont like it get over it and now lets wait five years till we can beigin to build a championship. I hope Al hangs around but if not we will survive.

There, now your post is fixed.

I'm not sure that Hermie is a crappier version of Dick.

I think he's more like what I what would expect the love child of Dick and Marty would turn out to be.
