Let me ask you this? If our thoughts and attacks against herm are poorly constructed and ill-informed, give us your thoughts, with out making excuses for his coaching style. Without using the lack of his players and injuries as an excuse, obviously his predecessor at NYJ isn’t doing to back with Herms old players...

It's a coincidence.
Hatred, whether it's for Carl, Herm, or anyone else, tends to be firmly rooted in EMOTION. Therefore, detractors are generally more frequent targets because they haven't usually thought out their arguments beyond "So and so sucks!" I have no problem with anyone pointing out facts, but they need to be factual and they have to be in context.
My thoughts on Herm? He's a Marty-clone. I don't really like his style, but I'm willing to give him a bit of a chance. I really wasn't happy with his decision to retain Gunther but I think that's indicative of an overall trend that included both Paul Hackett and Jimmy Raye. I just hope he doesn't completely ruin Mike Solari.
Injuries aren't an excuse, they're a fact of life. You simply cannot remove injuries from the equation and expect to arrive at a relatively objective conclusion of how good a coach did or did not do. Especially when those injuries come to the most important players on the field, namely QB.
Finally, Bill Parcells was Herm's predecessor.
