Mort- Herm may be burned out!!

[Mr. Arrowhead]

this morning on sportscenter he said that his job may be in jeopardy, but he also said that he may make the decision easy because Herm is feeling burned out and may retire

I'll chip in for a long therapeutic vacation like 6-13 years!

What a coincidence - I'm burned out on Herm.

Him giving up and retiring would make this "rebuilding" effort even more hilarious.

[milkman]

Mortenson called it "burnout", but qualified it by saying that Herman fucking Edwards may not feel like he has it in him to make another run with a new GM.

As I said in another thread where I posted this report, that's just coachspeak for:

"I don't want to be fired, so I'll just quit".

[milkman]

What a coincidence - I'm burned out on Herm.

Can you call it burned out if you thought it was a stupid fucking hire from the very beginning?

[FringeNC]

Now that Herm would have to justify his body of work with a legit GM, Herm knows it's ballgame.

This is yet more evidence that it was a true firing of Peterson. Herm was certainly not anticipating a new GM.

Edwards does not intend to resign but will wait on a resolution that brings more clarity to his future, the sources said. That could include a mutual decision in which Hunt honors the final year of his contract.

Pay him the money, and tell him to get the fuck out of town, Clark. You can publicly say the same BS things you did about it being mutual, a la Carl's shitcanning.

WTF?

Herm Edwards won't quit as coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, but sources say that with only one year left on his contract, he may not have the energy to embrace a run with a new general manager after Carl Peterson resigned Monday.



So am I getting this right? He will not quit. So he will be fired or he will coach next year. But if he coaches next year, he may not "have the energy to embrace a run with a new GM." So this means that if he is coaching he will do a half ass job?

So you take a piss poor job (what he's doing now) and combining it with half ass (what he intends to do). How much worse can it get? Holy fuckballs.

The new GM is coming, that's a given. If Herm says he may not have the energy to work with a new GM, who's coming, that's a given [Carl's gone, might I say one more time], looks like Clark has his answer.

[kc rush]

Herm may become a DC at some point in his life just because of the friends he has in the NFL, but he really isn't suited for anything more than being a DB coach.

But as OnTheWarpath says, who gives a shit, as long as he is gone.

Herm Edwards won't quit as coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, but sources say that with only one year left on his contract, he may not have the energy to embrace a run with a new general manager after Carl Peterson resigned Monday.



Chiefs owner Clark Hunt has commenced a search for a new GM, saying he has a "long working list" of candidates that he'd like to get to a "manageable" number over the next two weeks before he focuses on an intensive interview process.

Hunt's elimination of Bill Kuharich, the team vice president of player personnel, as a GM candidate already has made Edwards somewhat disappointed about the process, sources said.

Also, Edwards has a young family, with two children under 5 years old, and the strain of a season that has resulted in several gut-wrenching losses has taken its toll on him, the sources added.

Even though the Chiefs have lost 21 of their last 23 games under Edwards, Hunt told ESPN: "I've been supportive of the job he's done and approach he's made to rebuild the franchise. When we went into this process, we both knew it would be hard but it's been harder than expected. "I like the path we've gone with the younger players even though I wished we'd won more games. I want a new GM who believes in building the team through the draft with young players."

Edwards does not intend to resign but will wait on a resolution that brings more clarity to his future, the sources said. That could include a mutual decision in which Hunt honors the final year of his contract.

Herm's continued existence in Kansas City is a by-product of Carl's failed decades as general manager.

It'd take Clark about 5 minutes to recoup that money from paying Edwards to leave. The phones will be ringing off the hook. But yeah, it's politically incorrect to fire a black HC -- so much so, you have to wonder whether that makes it harder for black coaches to get the HC job.

[Jerm]

I seriously doubt that any new GM will want to retain Herm so I don't know why Clark just didn't send him packing with Carl...a completely new fresh start.

Clark's comments in the media after Carl's "resignation" wasn't exactly a ringing endorsement for Herm.

I don't think he stays one way or another.

I think is incompetence is well recorded. You either win or you don't. He hasn't so it should be easy to fire him without reprecussions.

[Extra Point]

I call BS that Clark would hire a GM that wouldn't fire Herm because he's a person of color (POC). Incompetence is an equal opportunity word. The Chiefs organization, thanks to Lamar Hunt, is the most opportunity-giving to people of color in pro football. The race card has no place in cutting the Chiefs management roster. If Clark is afraid to fire Herm because he's a POC, then he's a POS.

[shaneo69]

This is my favorite part:

"Hunt's elimination of Bill Kuharich, the team vice president of player personnel, as a GM candidate already has made Edwards somewhat disappointed about the process, sources said."

REPORT: HERM NOT HAPPY WITH CHIEFS G.M. SEARCH (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/12/20/report-herm-not-happy-with-chiefs-gm-search/)

Posted by Michael David Smith on December 20, 2008, 2:15 p.m.

General Manager Carl Peterson is on the way out in Kansas City, and there are growing signs that Chiefs coach Herm Edwards could follow Peterson out the door.

Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that sources say Edwards is “somewhat disappointed (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3783492)” in the team’s GM search, and specifically in owner Clark Hunt’s elimination of Bill Kuharich, the vice president of player personnel, from the list of candidates.

Mortensen reports that Edwards won’t quit, but with only a year left on his contract, it would be easy for a new G.M. to decide to replace Edwards. The Chiefs are 2-21 in their last 23 games under Edwards.

Hunt told Mortensen he has a “long working list” of G.M. candidates and that he’ll pare down the list over the next two weeks. He added, “I want a new G.M. who believes in building the team through the draft with young players.”

[splatbass]

I really doubt racism would be part of it with his super shitty record here. I don't even think herm would apply that either. Who said it's racism?

I don't think race is even a part of this decision with either Clark or Herm, but for some people if a coach is black they will always bring up race. Like the guy you quoted.

[kswheels]

I was gonna post the image but I'm new so I'll have to live with the quote.

"Well...Bye."

[chiefzilla1501]

Where are all the Herm defenders? Why aren't they out in force to explain why it's "understandable" that Edwards might lack the energy and drive?

Because it's an uphill battle. A lot of people hate Herm Edwards, and nothing anybody says is going to change that opinion. It's an understandable opinion to have. I still sympathize with the man because we've heard too many stories over the past few weeks about how Herm wanted to do things and then got railroaded by Carl Peterson.

I'm ready to move on. I never thought Herm was a Super Bowl coach, but I was willing to give him that chance. But I could see why he's burnt out. Ever since 2006, he's been a scapegoat in Kansas City. Let's face the truth: for some weird reason, when we started losing games in 2006, the shouts for Herm Edwards' head were far louder than the shouts for Peterson's head. Toward the end of this season, for every one negative thread about Peterson, there were 20 negative threads about Herm. And that's something I'll never truly understand.

I can understand hatred for Herm. But I'll never get the pure disgust for him.

[Tits McGee]

[2112]

I really doubt racism would be part of it with his super shitty record here. I don't even think herm would apply that either. Who said it's racism?

He was a minority hire. the Jets were pressured to hire him in 2001. it's a very touchy issue firing a black head coach. Dungy was crying about it a few years back.

[2112]

I don't think race is even a part of this decision with either Clark or Herm, but for some people if a coach is black they will always bring up race. Like the guy you quoted.

Eh, he was a minority hire in 2001. you can deny it if you want, but the Jets were being pressured with a new owner and with what was going on at the time.

There's nothing wrong with speaking the truth. being in denial is the difficult part. the guy is a fucking moron, and had he been white he would have been gone long ago.

A pretty ridiculous accusation.

Herm was hired in New York because Bradway followed the Carl Peterson school of "hire your friends." Herm was an assistant when Bradway was in KC, just like Cottrell and Hackett were.

You do know that owners/GMs are only required to INTERVIEW a minority candidate. Nobody ever said you had to hire one. Pulling the race card in either direction is flat-out ridiculous.

[RustShack]

The Steelers were pressured to hiring a black coach since the rule is named after them... Not saying Tomlin wasn't the best candidate anyways....

I can understand hatred for Herm. But I'll never get the pure disgust for him.

Because most wanted Peterson gone for years, since at least the end of the Gunter tenure. Tough to get too excited over an argument that has been on-going for 8 years. Herm, on the other hand, was a more recent offender, thus the fresh rancor.

I like Herm the man. Seems like a good guy. But I have no more patience for Herm the coach, and, really, that's all that matters.

[2112]

Eh, whatever. Woody Johnson becomes new owner of Jets = Check

Outcry of not too many Black Head coaches in NFL surfaces in 2001 = Check

What criteria did Herm have to be hired? he was a secondary coach with TB, he wasn't even the DC. he had no experience as HC ANYWHERE. Pee wee/AFL/USFL, nada..nothing. why was he hired? tell me!

Herm's first year synopsis with the Jets

2001 NYJ (Herm Edwards): 10-6

• Edwards has no prior HC experience in the NFL, college, high school, or Pop-Warner. Edwards has no prior OC experience at any of those levels. Edwards has no prior DC experience at any of those levels. Edwards was never the special teams coach at any of those levels. As such, Edwards was never responsible for coming up with a game plan for a single football game prior to his hiring.
• Takes over a team with a veteran 3-4 defense with cover-corners, hires a DC (Ted Cottrell) whose specialty is the 3-4, & inserts a 4-man front, cover-2 base package that was successful in Tampa Bay (never considering that TB had 4-5 defensive pro-bowlers who made it work).
• Though the offense had an immobile pocket passer who missed the ’99 season with a ruptured Achilles tendon, and short WRs (Chrebet, Coles, Moss), shifted the team to a west-coast offense under Paul Hackett (who had just been fired for running the USC program into the ground after three years. Since his removal from USC, they are the best team in the USA. Prior to that he was fired from the OC position in KC).
• After an 8.5 sack rookie season, decided to move huge DE Shaun Ellis to DT, a colossal flop.
• Started out 1-2 including an unwatchable offensive plodding vs. the 6-10 Colts (down by three touchdowns we were still eating 8+ minutes of clock up on one drive running the ball in the 2nd half).
• Teams beat were NE (11-5) in the game that Lewis knocked Bledsoe out, Miami (11-5) twice, and Oakland (10-6).
• Eked out 1-point victories vs. the Bengals (6-10), Colts (6-10), and Panthers (1-15) and a 6-pt win vs. the 3-13 Bills before losing to those same Bills in a win-and-we’re-in game 15.
• Made the playoffs on a 50-yd FG in Oakland in the last game.
• Opponents’ records were combined 131-125 (.511).
• Lost the WC game in Oakland.
• Four went to the Pro Bowl (Abraham, Glenn, Martin, Mawae).
• Offense was #26 in yards; #17 in pts
• Defense was #17 in yards; #12 in points.

Chiefzilla, I would like to hear your rebuttle to this!

I've never defended Bradway on that. He hired Herm because he was a croney of his. And I blasted Carl Peterson for hiring Herm without having an open interview process--Peterson should have looked at multiple options and chosen the best fit, not the guy that was his friend and colleague. I have no argument against that and never have.

[Crush]

I understand there's a HC opening in Oakland - perhaps he just needs a change of scenery.

According to the Jets he was qualified. And the race conspiracy theory is absurd. Even for devout Herm haters.

And remember that "unqualified" Herm Edwards still has the most playoff appearances of all coaches in Jets history......

[kswheels]

I am telling you how it went down. you're the one telling me about ****ing tombstones. why don't you answer your own ****ing question?

First of all the line about the tombstone is a quote from The West Wing.

Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc means "After it therefore because of it."

New Owner
Calls for more black coaches
Black coach hired

It must be because of race.

"After it therefore because of it" is almost never true. As someone else pointed out Herm's hire could just as likely be because he has friends both in New York and Kansas City, but you keep spouting this affirmative action BS like it's set in stone fact, it's not.

For the same reason that young guys like Gruden and Lane Kiffin and Tomlin were hired, despite being young and ultra-inexperienced. Or that coaches like Andy Reid are hired.

Personally, I think he was originally hired because a) he was in Bradway's network and he had a history of hiring friends; b) he was in two of the sexiest coaching trees in the NFL at the time--the Marty and the Dungy tree.

I think it was a bad hire because I'm completely against GMs handpicking coaches solely because they're friends, but there are reasons beyond race that he was hired the first time, I'm sure.

Reading comprehension is your friend. I never said he was. I said that having friends (or family) within an organization is just as likely, if not more likely to get an unqualified person hired as is their race.

Stop setting up the false dilemma that either he was hired because of his race or he was qualified. Those are't the only two options.

The Jets hire was racially motivated. no doubt in my mind. he even got a raise after a shitty season in 2003, which still boggles my mind.

Unlike Gruden and Tomlin and Reid he is nowhere close to those guys as a HC. you have to admit that.

We'll have to agree to disagree on the minority hire.

[Big Chief Homer]

[ I still sympathize with the man because we've heard too many stories over the past few weeks about how Herm wanted to do things and then got railroaded by Carl Peterson.

I'm ready to move on. I never thought Herm was a Super Bowl coach, but I was willing to give him that chance. But I could see why he's burnt out. Ever since 2006, he's been a scapegoat in Kansas City. Let's face the truth: for some weird reason, when we started losing games in 2006, the shouts for Herm Edwards' head were far louder than the shouts for Peterson's head.


Railroaded by Carl?Maybe Carl new all along Herm could not rebuild this team.I firmly believe Peterson hired Herm as another lapdog and was surprised when it didn't sit and stay but turned and bit him.

Carl is not responsible for the horrendous time management,playcalling and game time adjustments.That falls squarely on the head coach and coordinators.

The demise of this team falls on ALL of their shoulders from Carl down to phiefer(sp?).Herms approach was current he just does not have the ability to make it work.Thats why they must all go.

Thank God our owner sees that.

[Fish]

Yes.... they win despite Herm, but everything else is his fault.... I understand the mindset...

[2112]

Yes.... they win despite Herm, but everything else is his fault.... I understand the mindset...

They probably would have won a couple of super bowls with a competent coach. no doubt in my mind. and what would you know about what he did with the Jets other than the ole battle cry ''playoffs in 3 out of 5 years''?

Do you know how many similar dumbass things he did with the Jets that he is doing with the Chiefs right now? he has not changed one bit.

[kswheels]

Oh, I see. and you still have proven nothing in terms of his qualifications of the job other than the old family tree. that sounds like an opinion also me thinks.

I never said he was qualified. So stop throwing that crap at me

As for the "old family tree" I will quote you a previous post from chiefzilla

Herm was hired in New York because Bradway followed the Carl Peterson school of "hire your friends." Herm was an assistant when Bradway was in KC, just like Cottrell and Hackett were.

[Mr. Plow]

Herm Edwards has a TON of white friends.

There's nothing wrong with speaking the truth. being in denial is the difficult part. the guy is a ****ing moron, and had he been white he would have been gone long ago.

Herm's race has never been an issue with the Chiefs. It has nothing to do with whether or not he is fired, and no one had even mentioned it. until you. You brought race into a situation where it wasn't necessary, it seems to me that it is you who have a problem with race, not Clark Hunt or anyone else involved.

A blast from the past:

NY Times
January 11, 1987

FRANK GANSZ was named the Kansas City Chiefs' head coach last night. The 48-year-old Gansz succeeds John Mackovic, who was dismissed Thursday despite the Chiefs' 10-6 regular-season record in his fourth season and Kansas City's first playoff appearance in 15 years.

Gansz, considered a favorite of the Chiefs players, coached the special teams last season, a unit given much of the credit for the Chiefs' success. He had resigned Wednesday, saying he was seeking a job as an offensive coordinator as a steppingstone to a head coaching job.

Several Chiefs players had met Thursday with Jack Steadman, the Chief's president, at the home of the team's place-kicker, Nick Lowery, to complain about the loss of Gansz.

General Manager Jim Schaaf said Gansz was uniquely qualified to coach the Chiefs.

''I am flattered and honored about being chosen to coach the Kansas City Chiefs and I am very excited about having the opportunity to be a head coach,'' Gansz said. ''I think all of our players are winners right now and that will be our objective.''

John Harbaugh walked in with a very similar resume, and Tony Sparano walked into Miami without any coordinator experience. Gruden and Tomlin walked in with a lot less experience coaching on the pro level. Mike McCarthy was a lousy coordinator but isn't a bad head coach so far with Green Bay. The difference is that those guys were surrounded by good players and good assistant coaches. Tomlin has Lebeau, Harbaugh has Rex Ryan, Sparano has Dan Henning.

I'm not convinced that HC is at all about X's and O's anymore. It's become more of a management role. The coordinators are doing most of the X's and O's. That's why more and more GMs are hiring younger GMs who have close to no coordinating experience.



Name one NFL HC [or even OC or DC] who knows less Xs and Os than Herm. Name one HC in NFL history who knows less Xs and Os than Herm.

Two questions arise from that if you can't name anyone:

1) How did Herm get a job as an NFL HC?
2) Might it be problematic for an NFL HC to know so little about Xs and Os?

[chiefzilla1501]

For the 100th time, I've never criticized anyone who questions Herm's game management or time management responsibilities. That's definitely an achilles heel and it may have cost the Chiefs a few games this season... arguably.

I know that Herm has a hand in this mess. But again, the blame is not equal from Carl Peterson down. Carl Peterson is the most accountable by far. The main reason this team sucks now is because of lousy decisions made between 1999-2005 before Herm came into town, when Peterson decided to extend contracts to old veterans and did a lousy job drafting good young players. The second main reason it sucks is because the team didn't choose to blow up the team until 2008, and it appears that Peterson was the main guy holding that up. The third main reason is game management.

Don't be mistaken: Herm cost the Chiefs a few wins this season, but even with a good coach, we only had the talent to be a 5-win or 6-win team. That's because of the poor decisions Peterson has made over a 10-year span. So while Herm deserves blame for not having 5 or 6 wins (instead of 2), Carl Peterson is the guy to blame for not having a team that has playoff potential.


[ I still sympathize with the man because we've heard too many stories over the past few weeks about how Herm wanted to do things and then got railroaded by Carl Peterson.

I'm ready to move on. I never thought Herm was a Super Bowl coach, but I was willing to give him that chance. But I could see why he's burnt out. Ever since 2006, he's been a scapegoat in Kansas City. Let's face the truth: for some weird reason, when we started losing games in 2006, the shouts for Herm Edwards' head were far louder than the shouts for Peterson's head.


Railroaded by Carl?Maybe Carl new all along Herm could not rebuild this team.I firmly believe Peterson hired Herm as another lapdog and was surprised when it didn't sit and stay but turned and bit him.

Carl is not responsible for the horrendous time management,playcalling and game time adjustments.That falls squarely on the head coach and coordinators.

The demise of this team falls on ALL of their shoulders from Carl down to phiefer(sp?).Herms approach was current he just does not have the ability to make it work.Thats why they must all go.

Thank God our owner sees that.

They're equally incompetent. Kotite never got the benefit of the doubt from the press. he was brutally ass raped by the NY press on a daily basis. Herm, not so much. thank god for Whitlock, he's given Herm more grief in 1 month in KC than he got his entire career by the NY press. I wonder why?

I don't think that Herm got a pass from the NY press. If he had it easier than Kotite (which is debatable) it was because he had a personality that they liked, and was always good for a soundbite. Kotite had no personality whatsoever, and came across as fairly hostile to the press.

I still have a couple of problems here.

If you, in fact, believe that Herman fucking Edwards has cost the Chiefs games this season becuase of his poor in game coaching, why, even if you believe that Carl is solely responsible for the mess the team has become, would you want to retain him for another season?

If he, after 7 years as a HC is still making the same mistakes he made in his first season as a HC, then it is painfully obvious he is incapable of learning from his mistakes.

Second, why do you always post your thoughts ahead of the posts you quote?

First, when we say that he's a poor in-game manager, I think that's a matter of us disagreeing with his conservative philosophy. So when we say "mistakes", I think that word is misleading. He's not making mistakes. He's just very conservative in philosophy. Arguably, with a better defense, some of those conservative decisions would have panned out just fine.

More importantly, I've said multiple times that I don't think he has the make-up to be a Super Bowl coach. I have never, ever said he deserves beyond 2009 unless he proves beyond a reasonable doubt that he is a Super Bowl calibre coach. And I have never once said it would be a bad decision to fire him if the GM thinks this team should move in another direction.

For as much of a "Herm ball washer" reputation as I've developed, people obviously aren't reading anything I'm saying. I don't have a problem with the Chiefs getting rid of Herm. But I don't think he deserves the extent of the criticism he gets/

Herm's not making mistakes? He just needs a better defense?

When you make decisions that blow up in your face because you don't understand the capabilities of your football team (i.e. you play like you have a better defense than you actually do), YOU MADE A BAD FUCKING MISTAKE.

Stop making excuses for Herm. He has come to Kansas City and achieved an EPIC level of failure.

Playing not to lose is a mistake when you don't have a defense to support that philosophy.

But what I'm trying to find out is why you would support keeping him for one more year if you believe that he isn't a SB calibre coach.

What's the point?

Do you believe that a SB calibre coach is incapable of building a team from the ground up.

With a better defense? Who is at fault for the defense sucking?

Herm's a "defensive coach" (read: this is ****ing joke). His D-line is comprised of a lot of first-day picks, and Edwards is, allegedly, an astute judge of talent. What's the problem?

Everyone knew the offense was going to be terrible going into this season. That's no surprise, although Herm must bear the brunt for placing his hopes in Croyle. When he surprisingly was hurt again, Herm lost a leg. When Edwards oversaw the second coming of the 32 defense, his final leg was chopped out from under him.

Good-bye, Herm. You seem like a good dude, but you have to go.

He wants out, but he wants to get paid for the final year of his contract. I've seen this regurgitated shit before.

He won't quit unless that dumb shit Clark Hunt pays him for next year. they're terrified to fire him for fear of being labeled racists by Herm and mentor Tony Dungy.

I don't like the dumb shit label for Clark Hunt. :cuss:

Lets see, how long was Herm in NY? Longer than in KC I believe.

I think he deserves every bit of criticism he gets. He is the one that came up with the conservative scheme. That is the worst part of his being a coach, he's living in the 1970's. I think he has some motivational and scouting ability, but he just doesn't have the X's and O's to run a team. He should have been a scouting director.

He has proved beyond a reasonable doubt he is not a Super Bowl calibre coach. If the new GM think that we should not move in a new direction then we got the wrong guy. When you go backwards from a 4-12 team, you're not going in the right direction.

I'd be burned out too. All those losses have to be taxing on a guy. Guess what, most fans are burned out on him.

I honestly don't think that Herm is worse than Vermeil. With the talent we had from 2003-2005, to have exactly zero playoff wins to show for that.... that's just inexcusable.

I had tried to make excuses for him for much of what had happened before. Croyle, game management, but the D, the fucking terrible D, cannot be overlooked or excused.

Albert, Dorsey, Tank and Turk are all guys that I think are, or still have a chance to be, good NFL players, and a foundation for this team.

They just need some good coaching, and schemes that put them into position to succeed.

Flowers, Carr and Leggett also are part of that group, bit they appear to be the beneficiaries of good coaching already.

Anybody who thinks Herm is as good a coach as DV is an idiot. DV was a bad talent evaluator, and should not have been allowed to make draft picks, that's on Carl for listening to him. DV has a ring, and took two different teams to the Bowl, and if we could have had a decent D we may have went as well. There's no comparison.

Regardless, iff for some dumbass reason some team WAS willing to hire him, it would only help our cause, as whatever they pay him cuts into what we would owe him.
