[Rain Man]

Please list all of the records that Herm's teams have produced in Kansas City:


Positive Records:

Most Carl Petersons fired/resigned in one season.

Longest losing streak in Chiefs history.
Most points yielded in a season (Is this right?)
Worst season record (if the Chiefs lose on Sunday)
Fewest season sacks in NFL history
Most quarterbacks used in one season (Is this right?)
Most points yielded in one game
Only known coach to ever burn two timeouts on one play

[blueballs]

would the cover be made from
recycled all season radials

[noa]

Most carries by an RB in a single season

[Rain Man]

Most carries by an RB in a single season

Good one. Would that fall in the positive or negative category?

[noa]

Good one. Would that fall in the positive or negative category?

I'm gonna go with negative

[RustShack]

Good one. Would that fall in the positive or negative category?

Negative

[RustShack]

Unless you think killing LJ was a good thing at the time.

[Skip Towne]

Most time outs used on a single play (2)

[Bowser]

Got Carl Peterson fired. Positive.

[Bowser]

Lost eight games by 7 or less points (that's got to be a record). Negative.

[Rain Man]

Most time outs used on a single play (2)

Did he really do this? Can you? He would certainly hold the record for most bonehead timeouts.

[Skip Towne]

Did he really do this? Can you? He would certainly hold the record for most bonehead timeouts.

He really did it. He called timeout to decide whether to challenge then lost the challenge. I think that's how it was.

[triple]

Did he really do this? Can you? He would certainly hold the record for most bonehead timeouts.

it is illegal to call two timeouts on one play. however they managed to do it by taking a time out to discuss whether or not they should challenge a play, which they lost.

so not only did they waste a timeout, they made a bad challenge given extra time to see if they could win or not

am i summarizing this properly.?

[BigChiefFan]

Managed to put the defense back in the number 32 column.

[blueballs]

He has to hold a record
for most QBs started in a HC career

In retrospect, that's actually kind of funny.

[Skip Towne]

In retrospect, that's actually kind of funny.

It wasn't at the time.

[jjchieffan]

Most rookies ever to start/ make the team for the Chiefs in a season. If most of them pan out, I would call that a positive.

[The_Doctor10]

Good one. Would that fall in the positive or negative category?

Has LJ looked anywhere near as dominant since that 400+ carry year?

Nope. Burned out a franchise-talented RB, though said rb has off-field issues that throw his potential greatness into question without that record-setting year.

[DT58HOF]

he's had alot of kickers in his 3 years as well.
most punts in a season?
most QB's in 1 quarter.
also where would lowest possible IQ fall negative or positive
Where would jackass in disguise fall?

[triple]

how about, worst performance in a playoff game in franchise history, wouldn't that debacle in Indy count?

[triple]

at 1-7, Herm has to have set the "worst home record" record as well.

[triple]

of course we'll probably end up 1-7 on the road too, so it would be worst home, worst road, and worst record in history

worst win % for any head coach?

[KCFalcon59]

As far as I know Herm is the only coach to lose 2 QB's to IR in the same game twice. (Chiefs/Jets)

[Crush]

Negative: Set an unofficial record for mismanagement of the clock.
Negative: Set an unofficial record for most B.S. in a press conference.
Negative: Set an unofficial record for overall fan apathy in the league.
Negative: Set an unofficial record for throwing the most people under the bus.

[KCChiefsMan]

you can say what you want about Herm, but without Herm. Carl Peterson would probably be back next year.

[notorious]

Most "duh" facial expressions after the opponent takes the lead in the 4th quarter in a season.

[teedubya]

Most excuses in a single press conference.

Most excuses in one season.

[WilliamTheIrish]

how about, worst performance in a playoff game in franchise history, wouldn't that debacle in Indy count?
Agreed. This would fall under: Fewest first downs in the 1st 45 minutes of a playoff (and possibly any) football game: 1.

[beavis]

I'm not sure if this record is tracked, but he's got to have the record for most unsuccessful challenges. Granted, he's only the second coach since the red flag started, but I find it hard to believe his mark will be beaten anytime soon after he's gone. He's got to be leading the league right now too.

[BigChiefFan]

And the most bullshit in a conversation award goes to...Herman "coach like a monster" Edwards

[smittysbar]

We could also throw in records that Herm has let other teams set against us. They set 1 or 2 every week.

[Spott]

Negative:

Most losses in a 2 year span(25 going on 26). The previous record was 24 held by the 77-78 Chiefs which was done by 3 coaches(Bettis, Wiggin and Levy)

Most points given up in any game in franchise history(54). The previous record was 51 in an OT game at Seattle in 83. The record for most points allowed in Arrowhead was 45 against Pittsburgh in 1976.

Most losses at home in any season(7). Herm tied the record last year and broke it this year.

Worst defense in franchise history so far. If Cincinnati scores 11 points Sunday, the Chiefs will have allowed the most points in franchise history. The previous record was set in 2004. If the Chiefs allow 286 or more yards to Cincinnati, Herm's team will have given up the most yards in franchise history as well.

Positive:

Not a g*d damn thing.

[Simba]

Please list all of the records that Herm's teams have produced in Kansas City:

Most points yielded in one game


The most points yielded in one game was in 1940 when the Chicago Bears defeated the Washington Redskins 73-0.

[Spott]

The most points yielded in one game was in 1940 when the Chicago Bears defeated the Washington Redskins 73-0.

I think he meant the most points allowed in franchise history.

[B_Ambuehl]

How many offenses in Chiefs history were worse then that 2007 Herm offense? That offense should be good for some type of negative record.

Is it possible Herm might have coached both the worst offense and worst defense in Chiefs history? hhahahahah...and we gave up a 4th rounder for this guy. hahahah Don't say you weren't warned.

You are right. The 2007 Chiefs have the franchise low for points in a 16 game season. The 1977 Chiefs scored 1 less point than last year's team, but that was in a 14 game season. So if the Bengals score 11 points this week, Herm will have the worst offense and defense in franchise history.

I've been talking about this for some time. It's quite embarrassing. But Herm says there's no blame. It's just how the cards fall.

[Buehler445]

Rainman needs to update the OP.

[Davechief]

I think I remember the Chiefs attempting to call two timeouts on one play when playing Atalanta during the (1994?) season, and being penalized for it.

[GoTrav]

glad someone compiled this. It seemed for a 5 game stretch this year, Herm's team was setting a new team worst record with each week. Did Oakland set a record in our first match-up for most rushing yards allowed by a Chiefs team? What about his held scoreless of, was it 11, quarters? Any of those team records?

[Agent V]

Most Fig Newtons consumed during a losing streak.

[88TG88]

God, we suck something awful. :(

[morphius]

There has to be something about fewest first downs in a game, and possibly yardage, just has to be.

[BryanBusby]

Most "run up the centers ass" calls.

[Agent V]

Oh, I got a good one:

Most uses of the phrase "these guys are young, so [insert blame here]"

[Rain Man]

Rainman needs to update the OP.

Can someone help me summarize and confirm the records since my last post?


And the loss today did put Herm in the record books as coaching the team with the worst record in KC history. A win would've put him ahead of the 1977 team, but believe it or not Herm couldn't get it done.

[Phobia]

Quickest abandonment of key catch-phrase; "It's gonna be ooookay!"

[Extra Point]

Herm Edwards sings Slim Whitman's Hank Williams' "Cold, Cold Heart," and "Half as Much." And that's not all! Beyond that, 2 Wins out of the last 25 games is the only (un)noteable record.

[TinyEvel]

Most flustrated press conferences in a season
