I will protect you Herm! KC Fish to the rescue!

Why would a new GM retain Herm in his lame duck year? His other choice would be to extend Herm. Neither of the choices will be palatable to a new GM. When it was announced that Kuharich was not a candidate, Herm was effectively fired.

I think you'll get another season just like this one if Herm is brought back. That's why I don't want him brought back. He's a bad gameday coach.

Which has caused Herm to throw a temper tantrum so far... Already said he is not interested in working for a new GM and told his coaches to start looking for job...

Herm is a lame duck, Firing him on monday would be the best thing this franchise has done in 20 years.

Foolish. These are premier athletes that care more about winning than job security. They don't want to be secure in a job for a team that is always losing.

Bellichick was fired in Cleveland. His offensive numbers were very similar to Herm's prior to finding Brady. Perhaps you aren't old enough to remember Belichick as the Browns head coach.

Agree, it just further sets the development back even more.. Hell Herm and Gun cant even develop all the first day talent on the Dline...

Dont care about Bellichick and the Browns, It will be years before Herm sees another HC job. He is gooing to have to prove himself as a DC somewhere in a few years... His mouth proves he can talk a big game, but his results fail his ego and mouth...

I don't know. Carl did hire him, and give up a frickin draft pick for the rights to that clown. Firing Carl was a pretty good thing, too.

Okay, I should of said second best thing to happen in 20 years...

That would of been more correct?

I think Herm is an average coach, except for those three hours sunday afternoon, during which he is the worst coach in the NFL

this just in, herm throwing this thread under the bus.

I still think Herm should go the college route ala Carroll or Saban. He is player friendly, likes young guys, and wants total control. That is college coach to a T. Also alot of your coaching flaws can be over looked in college if you have top talent which I think Herm could recruit.

hell yeah, send him to MU!

OK. I can understand that perfectly. But I still don't get the people who are afraid of Herm coming back and winning so many games that he might be kept around.

And I've always believed that "gameday coaching" from the head coach is overrated. It's a professional team. The head coach is there on gameday for motivation and guidance. That's why he's on the sideline and not upstairs watching the plays develop. The coordinators do that. They call the plays, and they have the ability to change the scheme when necessary. That doesn't resolve Herm of some of the gameday mistakes he's made, but I question whether a different coach in the same situation would have made any huge difference. When it comes down to it, the coach can say whatever he wants. But the players have to execute on the field. And no amount of coaching can force the players to execute. Without execution on the field, coaching in itself is helpless. And with a team this young, you're not going to have all the players executing well at the same time. It's part of being inexperienced.

This is what I see happening. There will be a 'thanks, but no thanks' said behind closed doors and a 'Herm is great but we're going a different direction with our new GM' speech and merciful end for all of us.
