I'm not ready to give up on Herm, his management isn't completely bad. I'm really interested in how much CP has said to him. The whole Brodie deal reeked of the GM and Herm isn't the kind of guy who's going to tell his GM to butt out. I can see Carl making it clear that he doesn't want to be embarrassed and implying that a 4-12 season would result in Herm carrying Peterson's bags out the door in 2009. Herm's not in a position where he dictates his own agenda.

True dat. I've never been a fan of "keep the score down and try to win in the 4th quarter." ?????? You have to try to dominate your opponent in every phase of the game. Playing field position and hoping the other team beats themselves has proven to get you 9-7 and a 1st round exit. Going into halftime with all 3 TOs unspent on our final possession was deplorable.
You obviously know some things that I don't with your 2nd paragraph. I agree - it smells like Carl - but it tastes like BucBall to me.
