Unfortunately, I think what Herm is trying to say is that the OC's system is going to be trumped by Herm's play-not-to-lose philosophy, and the OC better be prepared to operate under that mandate.

Yep. And that's why my bet is that he hires Price from UTEP.
Please, somebody wake me up, I'm soooooo tired of this ****ING Herm Edwards nightmare. :cuss:

Herm doesn't know a god damn thing about offense.

So, what he is saying it seems, is that if he had Tom Brady and Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, and Jerry Rice in his prime, a finesse pass blocking OL, and a small quick back like Marshall Faulk, Herm would run it between the tackles all damn game because that is his philosophy? That is ****ing reeruned... god he is ****ing reeruned.

I understand what he is saying, yes. He wants to us to be a big O that can bruise you and run it on you. That is his philosphy, ball control and predicatability. But if that is his philosophy we might as well take the UTEP guys name out of the hat.

Herm will just make him change his pholosophy to match his own...

I was hoping the "good ol' boy" system was going to come to an end, but it lloks like it is still alive and well at Arrowhead.

You're right. And once again, under CP, the Chiefs find themselves in a situation where they're only going to successfully build one side of the ball. Man, this $hit gets old...

I actually have no problem with the "good ol' boy" system.

The fact is, almost everyone in the NFL, in sports, really works in much the same way.

The problem is, the "good 'ol boys" in Carl and Herman ****ing Edwards' system are generally equally as incompetent as they are.

“When you’re talking about hiring a coordinator, you need a person who understands that position is an all-day, every-day deal. Whether it’s in the meetings with the players, on the practice field or at night with the coaching staff, there are a lot of demands on the person in this position. At the end of the day, it’s my job to make sure we’re making the best decision for our football team.”

Where did he say this at, ESPN's headquarters?? :spock:

translation ...... "i'm tired of all these offensive guys trying to shove all this fancy-schmancy Arena Ball offense down my throat. I'm looking for a guy that will run the dam ball and protect my defense!"

How difficult is it to understand "Run, Run, Pass, Punt"?

Herm has spent his entire career trying to keep offenses from scoring, and now he has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.

That part of the scheme you are missing is that they are supposed to run the ball 15 times to get to the 50 yard line, then punt so that the D can get a turnover and the offense can kick a FG.

Understanding Herm's philosophy doesn't narrow the field of candidates at all. They all understand it in about two minutes.

The key is findings someone who embraces it. That's going to be much, much harder. If you use it as a filter, it looks like Herm will be calling his own plays this year.

I don't know why, but out of the candidates mentioned, I am kinda intrigued by Eric Price. I feel the Jason Garrett vibes and possibly our next HC.
